Mickey 17 2025
I do enjoy how Bong Joon Ho finds different ways to tackle class and capitalism in his work, whether through more grounded concepts like Parasite or something larger than life like Mickey 17.
Even if Mickey Barnes was supposed to be expendable labor, he proved he can be so much more. We aren't machines for work, our humanity is what defines us and gives life meaning.

The Umbrellas of Cherbourg 1964
Heartbreak in GLORIOUS TECHNICOLOR. The Umbrellas of Cherbourg is centred on Guy and Genevieve, a couple that's separated when Guy is drafted. What I'd give to see this in 35mm, the production design and costuming are stunning.
I do fancy my musicals to have tragedy, it pairs and contrasts nicely with the heightened reality of all the singing (doubly so when all the dialogue is sung).
I Will Wait for You is the most beautifully sad song I've heard in a musical, my heart.

The Assessment 2024
Might be a career-best performance by Alicia Vikander, I dunno how Fleur Fortuné was able to direct such a challenging role without it feeling janky. Tense, unhinged, and thought-provoking, what a phenomenal feature-length directorial debut by Fortuné.

The Life of Chuck 2024
"And I contain multitudes" wasn't expecting an end-of-the world movie to hit me so hard emotionally
