Simple enough story with impossible journey (note pointer finger missing from statue) destined to destroy spirit: Alexandros breaking down early on devastating, Voulos’ violent victimhood (toputlightly) heavy. Expertly crafted, directed by Angelopoulos (giving some Kiarostami vibes at times).

Let There Be Light 1946
Deeply harrowing doc banned for not being flag-waving propaganda.
Side note: I watched this while my parents (visiting from 8 hours away) went out for the afternoon. “Let There Be Light” brought my blood pressure down in a way that should be studied.

100 Years of Warner Bros. 2023
Self-fellating highlight reel starts strong, turns into shameless promo. Boldly makes case that “Big Bang Theory” as historically significant as “Casablanca”.
