Stop Making Sense 1984
David Byrne in full genius mode.

Bravo to Greta Gerwig for taking the Barbie into the modern era.

Andrei Rublev 1966
Went to the Philadelphia Film Center with my son and his friends to see Andrei Rublev, having seen Solaris and Mirror previously. Being a fan of historical pieces, I thought this movie is a fascinating look at what it means to be Russian and the role of the church and the state from the lens of the artist. Tarkovsky creates iconic images and his characters always are allowed to stop and philosophize to each other.
