  Here I am on the Seeing Faces in Movies (Website) podcast discussing this film after having attended a 2 year olds birthday party, very late at night and delirious with lack of sleep!

  Lady of the Night 2017

  Watched 19 Mar 2025

  Yeahhhh it's fine. Pulls some obvious arthouse cinema aesthetics; is the whole close-up handheld chaotic vibe just an excuse for not knowing how to compose and block a shot? The performances are very good. But it repeats its message a few too many times and I don't think a 15 minute film should feel like its overstaying its welcome.

  Obviously never met Isabelle Huppert but pretty sure this is exactly how she is in real life.

  What can I say? I was entertained! French people are something else, jeez

  Perfect Blue 1997

  I always thought this was like an Akira or Ghost in the Shell type film so colour me surprised to find out it's basically an animated Brian DePalma film. Very good!
