  Swans: Where Does a Body End? 2019

  ★★★½ Watched 31 Dec 2020

  Watched the extended cut. As a fan, it didn’t bring anything new and it was rather mild on Gira’s behavior in the past.
  It is mostly presented as a passionate fan project, which is not necessarily a bad thing but it focusses on the directors favorite albums and periods and rushes through the rest, which is a shame considering that this is a 2 and a half hour documentary.

  Red Peony Gambler: Oryu's Return 1970

  ★★★★ Watched 03 Mar 2019

  The sixth installment in the series, continues one of the story threads of the third film and as with all these movies, Oryu has to deal with rivaling clans. Some excellent photography and a great entry in the series.
