The premise of this movie is basically “It’s a Wonderful Life, but with Jesus”.
I have no idea how to properly rate or review it. It’s honestly such a ridiculous film lol. Willem Dafoe is great though, obviously. And any amount of Harry Dean Stanton in a movie will instantly boost my enjoyment, too.
Life imitating art. Art imitating life. Stories buried in stories. Characters buried in characters. What a complex, riveting film!
Shoutout to Jane Evelyn for recommending this movie. It would’ve flown under my radar, if I hadn’t read her brilliant review of it.
My resolution for the new year is to watch every episode of the Jonas Mekas webseries, 365 Day Project. I’ll be viewing one episode a day, throughout the entire year, like a daily devotional.
I need to talk about “I Am a Tower”, the new single Swans released today.
The outro is one of the most transcendental things I’ve heard in my life. It’s probably how people in 1977 felt listening to “Heroes” by David Bowie.
Literally had a spiritual experience. When the song ended, I was covered in sweat. The release of “Birthing” will be a historic moment… I can feel it.
