  “call me by your name” did not make me horny for a fruit, but this did, because i wanted to fuck a tangerine the entire time.

  Secretary 2002

  ★★★½ Watched 12 Mar 2025

  thoroughly enjoyed this top to bottom.

  it’s not so much a movie about sex, but one about the ways in which sex is an experience shaped by, and reflective of, our deepest inner feelings. the main dynamic was just riveting, i love the idea of people meeting in chance encounters, sharing unspoken bonds, and the writing of this film brings that to life wonderfully.

  the casting of james spader is so smart in this; the problem with the “fifty shades”…

  Buffalo '66 1998

  ★★★½ Watched 11 Mar 2025 2

  thoughtful and thought-provoking. definitely too forgiving of its main character (actor/director things!) and i can’t quite figure out the purpose behind some of the presentational choices, but i enjoyed them all the same and i god damn loved that ending!

  Twin Peaks 1989

  ½ Rewatched 01 Apr 2023 6

  rewatched the series today and i’ve realised that not only twin peaks but all of david lynch’s work is absolute garbage. i literally cannot stand pretentious nonsense like this and i can’t believe i ever enjoyed it. boring, mind-numbing bullshit with nothing to say and no passion for the art of filmmaking. think i might rewatch “mars attacks!” to remind myself what genuine cinema is.

  (happy april 1st everyone!)

  The Brutalist 2024

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 03 Mar 2025 2

  everything about this film is just incredible.

  guy pearce, adrien brody, felicity jones and joe alwyn all deliver outstanding performances. the cinematography is magnificent, paired up with the inspired editing choices to create a wholly captivating cinematic vision - only as brooding as it is bold. on a rewatch, the pacing is faultless, every scene is so gripping and layered that it feels like little over two hours by the end, and i truly mean that.

  i adore the ideas…
