Ratatouille 2007
if this film was a person, we'd get married and run away to france together.

Cléo from 5 to 7 1962
an introspective and thoughtful slice of life, lived through the brilliant character of cléo. one of the most human characters I've come across, cléo is fickle, pessimistic, prone to worrying and spiralling, craves honesty, though only when wrapped up in poetry and fancy language, and often taken in by foolish superstitions. she is remarkably real, and a true reflection on humanity - she believes what she wants to believe, needs what she thinks she needs, and wants what she doesn't…

Sans Soleil 1983
a film that makes my little 3 letterboxd stars feel very small and insignificant. I feel rating it any higher would be an insult to chris marker because it would allude to me understanding this film to a level even slightly close to what was intended, which I couldn't hope to do being so inexperienced and naïve, with both cinema and the world as a whole. it feels like he's operating in a far higher dimension than I can comprehend.

Black Bag 2025
how have I already seen two bland, poorly written steven soderbergh releases this year, and we're not even half way through march?
it offers almost no interesting thematic insight, definitely less than something like mr and mrs smith (and has far less fun while doing it). it seems to hold a decent level of plot complexity until it distils to no more than a bad, overdramatic episode of death in paradise. it's little details feel totally irrelevant when you zoom…

Love on the Run 1979
I appreciate that there's a fair amount of reused footage in this, but I feel like it's all used perfectly to create a marvellous ending to the story of antoine doinel. I feel a 'boyhood' style attachment to the character, and it really does feel like you've followed jean-pierre léaud through his career and his life. this film has all of the romantic charm that truffaut is so amazing at, propelled by léaud's performance and the host of returning characters.…
