    The Fall

    ★★★★½

    Beautiful design, beautiful story about storytelling - and its power. Wonderful, one of the most gorgeous films I've seen in ages!

  • Macbeth

    Macbeth

    ★★★

    Not sure this was well directed as a theatre recording

    A disappointing production that pretended to be radical and wasn’t - I feel the production seized the idea that there is something strange, radical and amazing in Macbeth’s structure and tried to turn the play into a film: with head mics and whispering.

    Something has changed within me...

    I remember seeing this film when it came out (a couple times) and felt it just was not.

    Maybe I've grown but it is a kind of utopia where everyone knows what Elio is, or will become, except him - and they totally accept and love him for that.

    It is beautiful, well shot - and a dream of a hot euro summer!

    I’m not queer … I’m disembodied 

    Beautiful film - and it’s journey to its imagistic end is wonderful; as is the Pina Bausch Ayahuasca dance. Also found the bedroom scene with the infinity snake and the gun wonderful.

     It’s a film of being out of place, of looking for love and of not finding it. A dream play with echoes of Querelle and Cocteau

    Watched at Palace Barracks Cinema, Brisbane
