Il Sorpasso 1962
I have rarely raced to rewatch a film like I raced to rewatch this. Fuck it, 5 stars. Toot toot, beep beep.

Phantom Thread 2017
You have on the surface a film which is about a prickly, difficult man who is defined by his rituals, who is absolutely intolerant and intolerable. Then you have a layer underneath which refers to a canon of films and literature (Hitchcock's Rebecca, Powell/Pressburger, even Felini). And then the whole thing has a fairytale, dreamlike charm - Bluebeard, Princess and the Pea, Rumpelstitlskin, etc.
Then on top of all this, the film is really funny. It's hard to understand how…

Nosferatu 2024
Lily-Rose Depp delivers a convincing tortured performance as Ellen and it anchors the film’s psychological weight, embodying the Freudian ordeal of attraction and revulsion with subtlety. While the vampire is stylized, he lacks the insidious fright which feels necessary. Ultimately the film is not a successful horror film because it isn't scary. But it is beautiful and some of the acting has chops.

Blue Velvet 1986
Love the fusion of 80s aesthetics and 40s noir sensibilities in Blue Velvet. Lynch contrasts idyllic suburbia with the sinister depths beneath, blending dreamlike intensity with grotesque unease. The film has a hypnotic aura of dread and fascination, with bizarre imagery (like the standing corpse in a yellow suit). A perfect showcase for Lynch's genius for crafting haunting, nightmarish visuals.
