    The Fall of the House of Usher

    Everybody knows that Poe's stories are at best deeply ambivalent about the supernatural and generally refuse it altogether because nothing is scarier than the decay of the human body and the gnawing fear there is no afterlife, but what Mike Flanagan presupposes is... what if we crossed Succession with Final Destination and All the Beauty and the Bloodshed (why, for the love of all that is good and holy would you mix the opioid epidemic into this?), tossed in a few crappy ghosts and called it The Fall of the House of Usher?

    A film that shows you in beautiful and intricate detail how it feels to read a captivating story.

    Aferim!

    ★★★★½

    Aferim! reminds me most of Hard to Be a God: to be sure, it's cleaner and funnier, and its sumptuous black and white photography and splendid landscapes also make it prettier to watch. But underneath all these lays, just as in German's film, a terrible bleakness. Aferim! may well be the most important movie made in Romania since the New Wave kicked off in 2001 with The Stuff and the Dough.

    There's a curious lack of political or social critique…
