    Dancer in the Dark

    Belongs in the category of fantastic but emotionally devastating movies that I'll never press play on again. Speechless. Robby Müller as DP in this feels like such a step outside of his work that I know and love (Paris, Texas & Jarmusch Films), but works for me here. Bjork is a force of nature, time to really dig into her discography, unfamiliar with her albums but I love her singing voice.

    Taste of Cherry

    Despite all the philosophical questions, no one tells Badii what to do. Bagheri makes a plea for the simple joys in life, not in a way that is melodramatic, which would fit the typical formula in film. That misdirection reminds me to enjoy the beauty in every day moments.

    Bram Stoker's Dracula

    ★★★★

    A spectacle, in true narcissist fashion. Dracula never got the “there’s more fish in the sea” talk. Coppola’s focus on set pieces and costume works for me. Now consider myself a Gary Oldman fan.

  • Evil Dead II

    Evil Dead II

    ★★★½

    Starting off my horror movie spree with a bang. Not my bag necessarily, but giving it a fair shake. 

    Slapstick humor and extreme violence have to operate on a pendulum?! I dunno. For the most part, I see why there’s such a phenomenon surrounding this type of thing. Definitely ambitious.
