"I think it's nice we share the same sky"
Whew.
Films can be cinematic in scope, think Lawerence of Arabia. Films can also be cinematic in concept and emotion, Aftersun is one of these films. Never have I seen this kind of emotion caught so beautifully on film. If you've ever been on a family holiday or held any special family events/moments dear to you, you'll know the type of feelings and emotions I mean. This film is…

Stop Making Sense 1984
“And on the second day, there was nothing else at all. Ohhhhh what a day that was.”
When I first started Letterboxd at the tail end of 2013 I decided not to rate anything that wasn’t fiction (something I’ve decided was stupid but still try and stick to it to this day to avoid what would be a huge undertaking). Stop Making Sense transcends this. As far as I’m concerned it transcends any box or label you hit it with.…Translated from by

My only notes really are that MAWU Films are doing god’s work here (pun intended). Releasing this 4K restoration from the original 35mm prints and wow does it look incredible.

The Ascent 1977
Dramatically less seen and spoke about than its counterparts (Come and See for one). The Ascent is a brutal war film that shares just as much with films like Passion of Joan of Arc and some of Bergman’s work than it does with these counterparts.
Most notably, as William Guynn tells us, how the films use of close ups is essential to everything it aims to achieve. “It is difficult to recall any film since Dreyer’s Passion of Joan of Arc that is…
