After Life 1998
one of my all-time favourites - a peerlessly profound masterwork, exploring the power of film through the most human lens imaginable. peaceful, minimal, careful, measured filmmaking used to mine one of the best concepts for a story i've ever heard for maximum emotion. every stroke hits something deep in my soul; there's so much wisdom and knowledge of life from all walks in each moment i honestly can't believe it's real. it's one to hold close, and treasure dearly.

Barry Lyndon 1975
this film ended up finding its way into my blu-ray player at just the right time. relatively early in the evening, in the middle of a rather gruelling week just when what i needed was an escape - and what better film for it than this. it makes me want to say "i don't know why i waited so long to watch this" even though i do know why.. the runtime. and the 18th century setting. but fuck that, this…
