  Watcher 2022

  ★★★★ Watched 29 Jun 2022 1

  Watcher is not the most unique film, but its execution was to a degree well enough to sit above average for me personally. A nice lowkey score with lots of static shots and a slow burn that I can appreciate.

  Labyrinth of Dreams 1997

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 31 Jan 2021 1

  Wow, Just Wow! What a find, beautiful visuals, an other worldly score and terrifying trains go screeching through Gakuryu iishis dreamscape with style in this tale of dark allure. Slow paced visuals completely solidified by exceptional writing and a sense of dread has this climbing to my favorite of his work.

  5/5 I would go as far as saying masterpiece.

  
  Ps. Who knew trains could be this creepy

  Maborosi 1995

  My first Kore-eda film experience has left me completely floored, I can't fully explain how sad and intimate this film is. Life is full of small terror and uncertainties and this movie encapsulates them nearly perfectly, but also shows brief moments of simple joys. I'd argue there isnt a single bad shot in this entire film, from dimly lit industrial alley's to bright seaside cottages, its all stunning. Its score is wonderful and
  the story is so honest and intimate…
