  The Brutalist 2024

  ★★★★★ Watched 13 Jan 2025

  It’s not every day a new old-school American epic gets made. Love to see Golden Era strytelling and filmmaking being revitalized in modern times.

  I Am Cuba 1964

  ★★★★★ Watched 10 Dec 2024

  The USSR thinks this propaganda piece isn’t so great because it’s too artistic and too sympathetic to the enemies, but ironically that’s what makes it in my opinion the greatest propaganda piece of all time.

  I miss the Soviet Union now

  to all the haters of this movie:

  I can’t believe you gave this movie a bad review. How could you have given this movie a bad review? I’m sorry, I can’t help you out of this one.

  Chronicle of a Summer 1961

  ★★★★ Watched 01 Nov 2024

  The first podcast perhaps?

  A very unconventional and “meta” film that really subverted my expectations, both in the wide variety of sometimes brutal truths that get brought up in the conversations, and the post-film analysis about whether people are acting or being authentic on camera. 

  A lot of movies, even ones about social issues, try to steer the narrative, but they really let this one improvise itself with just one question and it’s still deeply provocative and insightful. Really cool to see
