  L'Atalante 1934

  ★★★★★ Watched 05 Jun 2024

  There is a moment late in the film when Jean Dasté is floating underwater and we suddenly cut to a closeup of Dita Parlo surrounded by total darkness. I can’t quite explain why, but for a moment time seems to stop inexplicably, justifying everything that came before and everything that will come after it, both for the characters and the audience alike.

  Friedkin Uncut 2018

  ★★★½ Watched 11 May 2020

  Not the deepest of director retrospectives, but uniquely existential in how it focuses less on Friedkin’s body of work and more about how his unconventional philosophy creates a certain clarification of his own views on the human condition and how that is reflected back onto the audience.
