Queer 2024
The shadow of "Call Me by Your Name". Such a pathetic, insecure, old, but adolescent (the needle drops really drive this), vulnerable, lonely, self-loathing and lustful man. Looking for connection in all the wrong places. Yearning. Self-destructive. Alienated. Looking in awe at another man (Drew Starkley looks very much like a handsome young man from the 50s, holy shit). Wanting to merge with someone, but it doesn't quite work. Not in the long term. Disembodied. A deeply sad affair. What…

Strawman 2023
Catholic propaganda. Every catholic - poor martyr, every communist - irredeemably evil. Reminds me that Kraków is trad-cath central. Which is a shame, because the cinematography is great, especially the colored shot of the Wyspiański's stained glass window of God the Father is spectacular (I would even argue this is better than the Schindler's List one). Wish all the philosophical conversations about the nature of good and evil and faith actually amounted to something. And what even were these female characters?
