    The only movie I've ever seen that turns the trope of rebel-as-inherently-good on its head.

  • The Bird People in China

    The Bird People in China

    ★★★★★

    A story about the trade-offs between traditional culture and convenience and what is lost along the way. Unlike so many other movies where technology's effacement of folkways is a theme, it never comes across as preachy or didactic. It simply presents things as they are.

  • Picnic at Hanging Rock

    Picnic at Hanging Rock

    ★★★★

    A dreamlike take on a historical inflection point between the belle epoque and modernity. Beautiful and surreal and unsettling in equal measure.
