Mickey 17 2025
R Patz doing what he does best (being a wretched little freak). Really strange and fun, full of ideas even if a lot of them seem to drop away. Made me think of NAUSICAÄ and Metroid.
Decently long already but I wouldn't have minded a bit more of most of the supporting cast. Great to see Anamaria Vartolomei here after being so excellent in HAPPENING a few years back.

Virgin Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors 2000
Hong's not shy about repeating scenarios, but even so this felt like a pretty direct precursor to RIGHT NOW, WRONG THEN. Forgot just how repulsive the men in Hong's films can often be, the earlier stuff tends to be pretty brutal. Can't Help Falling In Love in the background in that one scene was a nice touch.

A Human Position 2022
Loved how much this left out, implied, and didn't connect the dots. I know practically nothing about Asta and Live, and yet have seen them in moments of quiet, intimacy, and even boredom. The most significant times have already happened before the film begins. It's no surprise that they watch an Ozu film on what seems to be their Japanese night.
Very impressive that a film of less than 80 minutes has so much breathing room, these open, transitional scenes…
