Knight of Cups 2015
Ok so this was hard work, I can’t lie. There’s absolutely no narrative here. But as a series of meditations on man’s tendency to idealise, fetishise, and center women in their lives as the cure for pain and grief? Success. Massive success. And looks so insanely beautiful too. Right now all I can say is that this was a delicious, profound watch. Will need another viewing for sure.

The Devil and Daniel Johnston 2005
Had no idea this man had been so central in some wild occurrences. But a treat to get an insight into the mind and times of the king of outsider music. A testament to having the right people recognise your greatness, even if it doesn’t truly match up to what you (or your other personalities) believe it to be.

Grand Theft Hamlet 2024
Hilarious, beautiful, ridiculous, and selfishly, for me, vindicating of my lifelong gaming hobby. Gaming can be connection, community and the constant. Just so much to unpick here about who gets to decide how our stories should be told, and who gets to tell them. Also, the ever present risk of someone crashing your soliloquy with a well placed shotgun blast to your digital face is a pretty special type of anxiety. Such a weird, unique movie.

Suzume 2022
Visually dazzling as this is, I feel it could have been just a bit shorter. Reason being that the pacing is explosive at the beginning, with just enough information to understand the core concepts of the story - however it slows down a little too much around the middle, meaning that when the stakes are raised you’re already a bit tuned out and the emotional reveals don’t hit like they should. A really good time though, even if it doesn’t maintain the high bar it sets for itself consistently.
