Just rewatched the now official objective greatest film of all time.

Lolita 1962
Innocent, mostly because it doesn't do anything at all. As an adaptation of Nabokovs Book it's awful, this is not changed by the fact that he was involved in much of the films production.

Without Humberts play on words and his reversion of perpetrator and victim, Lolita just doesn't work at all.

My other observation I had is, that there is so much of Twin Peaks the Return in here, much more than I remembered.

Agra 2023
One of the most tasteless and unerotic depictions of sex I have ever seen in films. The whole thing is edited without any sense. Nearly all scenes are too long or don't belong in the film at all. The characters are like chameleons, their motives and attributes change fluently, and with them the conflicts between the characters, and scenes just happen but have no consequences for following scenes, and the antagonist shifts every few minutes.
I normally don't care for plot and screenwriting rules, but Agra reminded me, that they may be useful from time to time.Translated from en by Google
