Part satire part true historical account. This unique hybrid of a film offers a historical perspective not often seen in western lenses. That of the power play after Stalin’s passing. Now I’ve spoken in great detail about Stalin’s actual death during my discussion of State Funeral (2019). However, I’ll just talk about the events depicted in the film. As far as the presentation of the events depicted in the film, I think it was pretty well presented for the most…

Body Double 1984
This is perhaps one of the best stupid movies ever made. It’s so stupid that if Patrick Bateman saw this movie in the movie American Psycho (2000) it might be one of his favorite movies. There’s so much to be said about this.
The plot is absolutely bonkers. The plot is so convoluted and doesn’t make any fucking sense. The more you think about the movie the more you’re like what is going on. The symptom that the main character…

Tramway 1966
The definition of a silent film. You can tell Kieślowski had some things to learn. Honestly, the short would’ve benefited from at least some sound instead of static. However, the last two shots really stick out to me as someone who will go on to make the masterpieces I love from him.

Theorem 1968
Paolini‘s most quiet film might be one of his most eruptive. This film is quite a unique tackle at Italian Society. This also very much reads as a much better version of Saltburn (2023). This film also reads very much like a biblical tale at points. With the character of the visitor, especially feeling like an intruding force to be reckoned with.
The visitor is able to conjure up trust within the family by getting close to them. With the…

Okja 2017
The latest Bong Joon-ho banger I got to experience was rather pleasurable. Not only was it pleasurable, but it was perhaps going to be his best American movie. At least for my money because I enjoyed this more than Mickey 17 (2025) and although I can’t really comment on Snowpiercer (2013) i’m very confident I will like this more. Part of the reason why I think this works very well is because not only is it a cop production of…

Take Out 2004
Honestly, one of Sean Baker’s finest works, even if it’s clearly his sophomore effort. But I really like about this movie is how it’s not very polished as far as how it’s filmed. It kinda adds a flavor to the film (no pun intended.) I also very much appreciate how very much captures an authentic immigrant experience. Not just as far as the language barrier, but also just the way they talked and what they spoke about was also very…
