Life and grief and fantastical meditations on such :’-)
Side note, having watched the original audio I’m a little sad to have missed Robert Pattinson’s chaotic heron voice, but one can imagine it…

The Gleaners and I 2000
Endearing and intimate. Agnes Varda — as the ultimate gleaner through the collecting and piecing together of this documentary — reminds us to keep gleaning (in all its forms) in a way that is humanist and open and warm.
Also moved by the meditation on aging and the passing of time throughout, from Agnes using one hand to film her other aging hand, to filming her grey hairs, to gleaning the clock without hands (“you don’t see time passing”).
And she makes watching a “crazy jig” by a dancing lens cap so appealing.

Good One 2024
Masterfully executed, with such trust in the audience, that this quietly observed and beautiful film washes over you as equally as it enrages you (in the best way) by the final act. Felt so present with these characters - hats off to India Donaldson’s script and direction, and the stellar performances. This film has lodged a pit in my stomach and I’m fine with it!

The Brutalist 2024
The “epic” size popcorn I had for this felt aptly titled indeed. Spectacular.
