Andrei Rublev 1966
99/100
Andrei Tarkovsky's Andrei Rublev is a true masterpiece, and it is not for the faint of heart. This is not a film meant to be fun or enjoyable, but it is intended to be thought-provoking and challenging. Tarkovsky's methodical filmmaking style and his exploration of religion, human nature, and artistic freedom make this one of the most difficult and confronting films I have ever experienced.
The first 90 minutes of Andrei Rublev are nothing short of extraordinary, and they…

Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters 1985
99/100
In the first, say, 20 minutes of Mishima I thought it was incredibly overrated; and then I understood the gimmick and what was going on and wow, this was great. On rewatch I've a feeling this will become my favourite film ever.

Its commentary on the dangerous potential of blackpill manospheric behaviors is almost as prescient as the Nietzschean philosophy of which the film explores.
I quite adore how the film definitely leaves it to its viewer…

Funny, offensive but simple. All it needed to be.
First say ~30minutes were actually a piece of shit, questionable camera shots and jokes/dialogue that didn’t land, but then it transformed. Jokes in the second 2 thirds were marvelous and the cameos were worked to aplomb.
For what it’s worth - a fine film

Gone Girl 2014
93/100
Gone Girl is a film that exemplifies the Fincher's evolution in craftsmanship. Building upon the successful elements of his previous film "The Girl with a Dragon Tattoo," Fincher has crafted a film that is both minimalistic and immerses the audience in the story's setting.
Fincher's collaboration with and Atticus Ross and Trent Reznor is a standout in film history and should be spoken about similarly to Leone/Morricione and Spielberg/Williams. The score, though muted and toned down, works in perfect…
