  Port of Shadows 1938

  ★★★★★ Watched 30 Mar 2025

  Poetic Realism or early noir? I guess it can be both. I bet Bogart wanted to be Gabin.

  ★★★½ Watched 30 Mar 2025

  Some of the earliest claymation. A little trippy. Creator's kids helped. Too violent for today. Will watch with drugs next time.

  Sabotage 1936

  Nice I guess, but didn't quite live up to Criterion's description 'most suspenseful moments in all of Hitchcock'

  The Lower Depths 1936

  ★★★★★ Watched 09 Mar 2025

  Great. Many gems in perfect context delivered in a French way that somehow doesn't even seem pretentious (as subtitled):

  "We live, we die, it's nothing to cry over."

  "Everything here makes me sick. Everything you touch is filthy. The mattress, the pots - everything's rotten. The feelings, even the words you say - covered in lice, cockroaches and slime."
