Abbot Hui Yuan entering the contest for Coolest Guy Ever Depicted. A wuxia blueprint, from the sort of bumbling main character turned bumbling sideshow to the video game logic of boss fights with guys you’ve never seen before. Like, by the time you get to Commander Xu, who had never been introduced or alluded to, you’re instantly like “this guy is fucking crazy.” Also the fact that all the plot devices, no matter how vague or circuitous, seem to only consistently revolve around shadowy, bureaucratic corruption within the equally shadowy hierarchies of Imperial Chinese government.

Leviathan 2014
The uniquely Russian plight of complete and abject misery, to be met only with the stubborn resolve to live bleakly in a windswept tundra. All the while above a certain threshold of acquired power, cruelty is like a machine employed to somehow keep everyone miserable in their own way.
