  Morning Patrol 1987

  ★★★★★ Watched 07 Jan 2024

  apocalyptic video game traversal through endless night cities and the blastwaste that lies beyond their walls; a woman wanders, surviving.

  nothing is like this. perfect visual poetry accompanying prose ripped straight out of pulpy mastertexts, translated into greek, spoken beautifully. a mode of adaptation entirely its own. this is what you get when a master experimental filmmaker decides his movies could use a few more shotguns.
