Army of Shadows 1969
Oppressively moody & bleak with undeniable craft, top to bottom. The feeling of being isolated captured in such a cinematic way. The slow methodical pace (with a loose runtime) and understated exposition conditions you for the setting as well, with occasional sequences that may thrill or fill you with quiet, desolate terror. And that haunting ending is an all-timer (extra half star just for that), from the score to the lifeless looks coupled with postscripts, to the symbolism of the final…

High and Low 1963
Goro from Tampopo?!?
Just impeccable blocking and framing and entirely engrossing from start to finish, even with a large bit of it just being conversations and procedural investigating. Absolutely masterful.
This watch is part of my list for the Criterion Challenge 2025.
12. Celine Song’s Top 10.

The Birdcage 1996
A new favorite. Huge grin on my face and chuckling throughout; endlessly quotable. A cast in their peak, especially Nathan Lane. And of course bittersweet but RIP Gene, and miss Robin dearly.
