The Fifth Element 1997
I must first establish that sci-fi is by a long shot my least favorite genre 😔 I’ve tried to appreciate it and will continue to do so, but I am biased.

Memoir of a Snail 2024
Dark, whimsical, ugly but honest.
I must acknowledge my tendency to over rate stop motion, (how can I not when it’s such an expressive medium 🤤) however I was not able to justify the predictable plot as an extension of the messy overarching theme. I did adore the consistent melancholy tone.

The Earrings of Madame de... 1953
Luxurious, atmospheric, French romance 💅
Definitively a masterpiece for its time and forever an intimate glimpse into the past. Notable camerawork, scene design, fashion, and dialogue.Although I can’t say it stuck the landing with the anticlimactic ending, Madame De was incredibly charming. I wish the romance between Louise and Fabrizio had more depth, however the scene of her torn love letters fading into snowflakes was everything. Visually stunning in the way it evokes a dreamlike state alluding to Louise’s detached perception of reality.
Clear themes of abundance, religion, and commentary on a woman’s place in high society.

Eyes Wide Shut 1999
The ritualistic sex party should have been approximately 2 hours and 39 minutes longer and everything else omitted (minus Alan Cumming’s cameo).
