this has a vaguely coolish charm, but the jumpy editing, scattered dialogue and lack of depth in any way made it hard for me to buy into it. maybe that’s french new wave, maybe it’s just this film.

Vinland Saga 2019
the way this story is structured so it broadens out to various (complex) characters who all become important, is a feat in its own right. a good score that works better than it should in certain small moments. doesn’t suffer from as many of the usual quirks/irritations of the format. it moves from brute action scenes to deft dialogue; its stoic tour de force on antiviolence, anti-war, strength and courage is where it excels. would all still hit on a rewatch although the second season is considerably slower.

The Celebration 1998
this unfolds so nastily in an incredible way.
the initial cognitive dissonance and subsequent violent denial that gets more extreme as it goes on make the setup and final reveal all the more devastating. all the ways it goes about revealing these egregious parts of this family can be equally hilarious and awful.Translated from by -
