  Be Here to Love Me 2004

  Watched 16 Mar 2025

  Hypnotic, unsettling, hilarious, at times lowkey beautiful, and deeply, deeply melancholy, this doc pretty accurately captures the vibe of a Townes song, and while seeming to show a lot of unvarnished truth about Townes, much of the sadness of the film comes from realizing how much of him will always remain a mystery

  Watched 13 Aug 2024

  Plan 75 2022

  Watched 14 Oct 2022

  Three things I want to remember about this haunting movie:

  1. It’s very intimately filmed - the camera feels so at home in the small apartments and workplaces of these characters’ lives

  2. The ubiquity of Plan 75 branding throughout many of the film’s locations - the innocuous design masks a ruthless government policy to sacrifice a portion of the population in the name of cutting social spending. The logical outcome of neoliberal austerity

  3. Michi standing on her balcony, the mountains in the background

  A lot of beautiful moments in this movie - truly exquisite filmmaking and I highly recommend
