    It’s mind-blowing to me how this film is engaging for all its three and half hours without the over-complication (or even compromising) of the plot.

    Visually it’s what you expect. Not more, not less.
    Storyline lacks the proper pace.

    ★★★★

    not every prick can be as unhappy with who he is as Godard; he does that perfectly here.

    the striking binary of us/them infused the whole film.
    Us, the filmmakers, them, the actors. Us, the back walking divergents, them, straight walking pedestrians.
    Us, the understanding kind of bourgeoisie who are sooo understanding that they are in fact revolutionaries, them, the capitalistic whores, as simple as that.

    what Jean-Luc is ignorant of is that he fits in both of these groups.…

    The Banshees of Inisherin

    ★★★★

    how can anything by the Irish not be a memorial for their glorious and historical literary heritage? this film is no different. a piece that follows up with the remains of Beckettian traditions: pauses, silences, and repetitions. Irish, as it wages war against the romanticist British who are quick to contrast you in suppose degradations with the simple word of “yet”! 
    spectacular locations and genius use of state, religion, and folklore.
