ONE FILM FROM EACH DIRECTOR I ADMIRE
my favourites are my current vibe.
hi!
Lynne Ramsay’s Ratcatcher is a stunning blend of stark realism and dreamlike beauty, capturing childhood, guilt, and escape in 1970s Glasgow. Through evocative visuals and elliptical editing, Ramsay crafts a deeply immersive experience, letting the story unfold through mood and imagery rather than exposition. Both brutal and tender, it’s a remarkable debut that cements her as a master of cinematic poetry.
Joshua Oppenheimer's, The Act of Killing, is a haunting documentary that explores the brutal 1965-66 anti-communist purge in Indonesia. The film uniquely invites the perpetrators to reenact their killings in the style of their favorite film genres. This surreal approach starkly reveals their disturbing lack of remorse and their warped sense of heroism. The reenactments, combined with striking visuals, create an unsettling atmosphere that underscores the banality of evil.
The Indonesian mass killings were heavily influenced by Cold War dynamics.…
