Sorcerer 1977
Less of an astutely ideological film than The Wages of Fear, but an absolute visceral nightmarish symphony on the senses. There’s something to be said about Clouzot’s black and white, more methodical approach to the text, but Friedkin and his team just punch your lights out with sound and motion. The colors in this film fucking explode on a big screen (had the incredible privilege of seeing this as a midnight movie at the Art with some friends) and are…

Aftersun 2022
Holy fuck y’all weren’t joking
I was worried that it was gonna be like a Bluey situation where people on the internet would worship this movie because it’s like healthy familial relationships but I was thankfully wrong.I know they say “they don’t make ‘em like they used to” but my god does this get close. The lingering shots, the ambient sounds and music, the hypnotic and emotional dissolve fades. It all harkens back to a school of cinematic thought…

Taste of Cherry 1997
Part of March Around the World 2025!
Did this as a double feature with RRR because I need to catch up on my March Around the World and also because despite going in blind to both films I knew it would be an objectively hilarious idea to watch them sequentially.

Needed a crowd pleaser with my roommate. This did the trick! Although I do feel like I did it a disservice by having its audience be a grand total of 2 (two) people and also there being no stream able version of the film in the original Telugu audio (so fucking weird for that Netflix; ended up watching in Hindi with English sub) but man that couldn’t stop this thing.
I’ve still decided that…

All That Jazz 1979
Godard and Jerome Robbins do a bump off a playbill
Started barking like a stray dog when John Lithgow and Wallace Shawn showed up
So fucking good. Loved the rewatch. Bob Fosse is the only artist to ever make a piece of art being retrospective on his work and not being a total prick about it (Maybe Charlie Kaufman too but don’t tell him I said that.) Take note Coppola and Chazelle!
Great screening with my Intro to Screenwriting class…

My So-Called High School Rank 2022
Hello Letterboxd! It’s me, a Sacramentoan Theatre Kid! I have the pleasure of personally knowing and performing with a lot of the original cast of Ranked (Hi Natalie, Trace, Christine, and Jed!) and through this and the other schools showcased, I want to preface this by saying these are wickedly talented students, and I wish nothing but the best for them
I have a history with this show. Both growing up alongside it, as well as living it. Ultimately, what…
