    Berlinale with Allie!

    Hahah this was the first time Ive seen a film and thought ‘this is so french art house’. 
    I was confused for the longest time but the editing was incredibly clever in that sense. An ode to 70s action and James Bond and incredibly camp. It just wasn't for me 🤷🏽‍♀️

    Berlinale film festival with Allie!

    Beautiful cinematography.

    The film started off so strong but I think it got lost in all of its inspirations (think Rosemary’s baby, Suspiria etc) and by the end there were too many questions that werent answered. The reveals didn’t pay off. Either way, very enjoyable first watch at Berlinale!

    Okay so I’ve been watching horror films since I was wayyy too young and I remember my mum recommending this film to me when I was like 8 (questionable parenting but slay i guess). She could only remember one scene and from that I’ve been trying to find this film for years… UNTIL NOWWWW! Thanks mum for suggesting it to me. Growing up i fucking loved this type of horror and tbh I still do. 

    The french know how to make movies 🫣


    (Also note for self: reggae is no longer a safe-from-serial-killer genre to play when you’re alone).

    Oh to be loved as tenderly as this. Breathtaking. Captures the beautiful stillness of life.
