Wittgenstein 1993
As Alex from Clockwork Orange would say, "a bit of the old Ludwig". A fittingly out-there biopic for the most queer out-there philosopher there is.

A Real Pain 2024
So much subtle yet effective symbolism. Benji sitting in the airport, dazed, lost, in limbo, forever searching for a place to feel at ease and at home(the warmth of his grandma), much like the limbo the jews endured for much of their existence. A unique exploration of generational trauma, holocaust tourism, familial relations(especially in the context of mental illness), and all in all, pain.

Fargo 1996
No film can be perfect, but Fargo comes quite darn close. Frances McDormand deliveres one of the most iconic and distnctive lead performances of all time. Stylistically this is minimalism at its best, and with every rewatch you just get more out of it. The Coen Brothers have truly perfected their craft. A must watch for any film lover.

Anatomy of a Fall 2023
This is my feminist literature.
Cannes winners rarely disappoint. TÁR meets The Worst Person In The World in this breathtakingly executed masterpiece, dissecting the modern institution of marriage and the underlining patriarchal influences deeply ingrained in relationships, courtrooms and "cancel culture". Such a meticulously crafted plotline through which we are constantly morally challenged to pick a side, even if there might not be one, or at least not in it's simple form. Ironic that i watched this on the same day as Basic Instinct, it's literal anti-thesis. Sandra Hüller should absolutely be the Oscar favourite. No words, just watch.
