    Man with a Movie Camera

    ★★★★½

    A fascinating insight into life (almost) 100 years ago. Through its compilation of 6 films, it successfully documents the lives of people at the time, showing their daily routines, jobs and hobbies. 

    A wide range of cinematic effects are implemented; I particularly enjoyed the use of stop motion. It’s amazing that so many years later, these effects still entertain, and are still widely used.

    Film-length anti-drugs commercial, won’t be trying heroine any time soon.

    I wonder if Spud ever got those sheets clean…

    Deeply unsettling. Not sure I want to watch it again, but feel I need to.

    Everything Everywhere All at Once

    ★★★★

    Possibly the most absurd film I have ever or will ever see. Still not certain exactly how to feel about it. I feel that watching it again might be necessary.
