    Eat the Document

    ★★★★★

    A mystifying fragment of Bob's meander through England's countryside and cityscapes, this journey towards the stage punctuated by events and stories ineffable. A bright, sunny day where Bob and The Band stumble upon a tree in which a boy once killed himself. Dylan flicking through a magazine, picking up on Mercury's conjunction with Jupiter as he ironically giggles at it's supposed power to manifest money. Bob traversing his way through run-down estates, climbing up walls and standing on top of…

    ★★★★★

    My viewing of Penda's Fen consisted of hope for it to never end.

    also, bruñel did not direct Belle de…

    La Dolce Vita

    ★★★★★

    A descent into detachment. Spiralling down into the layers of hell, La Dolce Vita is an Inferno with no guide nor self-assured protagonist. Christ has already fled the scene at the start, being pulled up by helicopters, while we, on the other hand, accompany Marcello’s downward trek through the streets of Rome and his subsequent indulgences. Fellini questions the act of looking acutely in such a revolutionary manner; for example, outside of the constant presence of the paparazzi, there are…
