  Phantom Thread 2017

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 21 Oct 2023 2

  I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched this now, but I think I can finally better articulate why I adore this film so much. 

  Phantom Thread is mesmerizing from start to finish. It initially appears to tell a story about a genius and his muse, when it is really a story about two lovers fighting for power and control in their relationship.

  A Brighter Summer Day 1991

  ★★★★★ Watched 13 May 2024 1

  One of those films that move slowly, but with deliberate grace. A coming of age story where every moment and every detail, even those that are seemingly mundane, build a foundation and context for the tragedy that is coming, although it doesn’t make it any less stunning or painful when it unfolds. So deeply immersive that four hours almost feels too short. 

  Not for the faint of heart.
