    Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom

    ★★★★

    my friend took me to see this to cheer me up when i was having a sad, sensitive and depressed day. i cried afterwards.

    to give her some credit, i did read the comments before including "this is the most fucked up film ive ever seen". i thought i had seen fucked up things until i saw this film.

    i suggest stronger trigger warnings. my favourite thing about the film was the consistent viewpoint and focus of pleasure.

    apparently the depth and intelligence of the film translates and builds after second watch.

    godere (enjoy in italian)

    The Handmaiden

    ★★★★★

    What I enjoyed:
    - Each still a work of art.
    - Sharp saturation of one or two colours create warmth and depth.
    - The humour conveyed through the film work and cuts.
    - Appreciated tender sensuality captured by a male director.
    - The "coming of age" like storyline explored in the nature of female sexuality
    - Two women defeating perverted & immoral men in love

    One to rewatch again and again.

    Favourite scenes;

    1. Destroying her lovers world
    2. The bath…
