  Chornobyl: Chronicle of Difficult Weeks 1987

  ★★★★★ Watched 27 Apr 2024

  Spectacular programming this week at Anthology by Lukas and Masha—congratulations you two!

  Excellent film which records the materiality of radiation directly on the celluloid with some Stalker-esque sound design and an uncanny optimism. I'll be showing this film to students from now till I retire (die tenured🤞🏻)

  White God 2014

  ★★★★ Watched 28 Apr 2024

  Was expecting a proletarian Milo and Otis, got my chased-through-Chișinău-by-dog-packs trauma triggered instead. Four puppos out of five 🐶🐶🐶🐶

  Sans Soleil 1983

  ★★★ Watched 07 Mar 2024

  A series of half-coherent ideas told through beautiful pictures. The Euopeanity of it all... (I might like this film more in a couple weeks but right now it's made me grumpy.)
