I Am Slave 2010
An eye opening story about the slave trade between Sudan and London. It was nearly kitchen sink but there were a lot of flash back sequences and dramatic music which I sort of wish wasn’t there. Would have been a lot harsher without. Maybe a couple non linear scenes from the past that weren’t obviously flashbacks would have been effective but kept simple.

Cure 1997
Society becomes susceptible to influence when identity is so vapid - any originality strained out of us by the demand of the city: creating humans who can be simply divided into work and home.
I thought this was an interesting film but its atmosphere felt slightly off. It had the tone of a Fincher film but such unreal plot points that didn’t match. It felt like an atheist trying to describe God.
Shot nicely with wides held for super long…

Four Nights with Anna 2008
A bitter sweet voyeuristic tale of non-consensual romanticism and the line between obsession and infatuation. Skolimowski back at it again with moral ambiguity and a protagonist with good intentions and bad execution. An amazing use of chiaroscuro lighting and monochromatic and analogous colour palettes to portray the characters isolation. VERY VERY DIRTY BLUEEES AND GREENS my typa stuff. Also don’t you worry my friends, Skolimowski retains his dark sense of humour and use of light and shade throughout the whole film.

The Substance 2024
When I see films like this get the praise that they do, I can’t help but feel that cinema is being strangled by the growing stupidity of audiences who glorify narcissistic directors held on the commodified art house pedestal.
The films commentary on female body standards only upholds the same female body standards. The medium is the message. Doesn’t matter what you are trying to say. When you have a gorgeous lady’s peachy arse shake on screen for 2 hrs…
