I’m a sucker for an art house sci-fi, especially when it contemplates our dystopian future. The future of feelings, the future of “protecting” ourselves from unpleasantness, numbing ourselves to the point of pointlessness. Is feeling pain worse than feeling nothing at all? Major Lynch vibes mixed with minimal but exquisite production design. Magnetic performances from Léa Seydoux and George McKay. The kind of movie that has you confused yet curious for a majority of the runtime but will leave you contemplating the possibilities long after the credits (or the QR codes) roll.

The wonky heads and rough lines create such a cool, unique effect it looks like nothing else I’ve ever seen. This…

McCabe & Mrs. Miller 1971
i went through an Altman phase a couple years ago and somehow never got to this one. But now i gotta say this is one of his best. It's a western, but not the cowboys and stagecoaches kind. It feels like the REAL west. Dirty, smelly, rude, ruthless miners trying to piece together a living in the middle of fucking nowhere. Lucky (or unlucky) for them, McCabe specializes in spicing up their humdrum existence. He deals in vices. Gambling, boozing,…
