Such a clean, succinct movie, like a well-written short story. Totally not what I was expecting.

The Devils 1971
One of the best sets I’ve seen in ages. The playfulness and camp of Peter Greenaway, plus the severe faith of Pier Paolo Pasolini.

Barren Illusion 1999
My eyes were on the screen, yet somehow I feel as though I missed much of the film. It wasn't until later in the movie that I realized that there were blips in time and reality that displaced me from what seemed to be a linear timeline and space. However, moments of ideation and fantasy reminded me that the film wasn't, in fact, linear, nor our own lives outside from the screen. The disjointed nature and lack of plot caught me off guard, but I will re-watch the film with more attention next time.
