  - I’m so relieved this was more than I expected it to be, the world was everything. 
  - There needs to be a thalassophobia warning for this film, I almost stopped breathing.
  - That Capybara is my spirit animal! 
  - Watched this with a biased filter.

  Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles 1975

  ★★★★½ Watched 08 Feb 2025

  Intro by Laura Mulvey:
  “Oppression can often be deemed nonexistent because it is silent. So often, we can only grasp the silence at the moment it is broken. In this film Akerman succeeded in grasping that silence.”

  “A kind of musical beat with disastrous variations. They acquire value through real time.”

  A Confucian Confusion 1994

  ★★★★½ Watched 23 Feb 2025

  Leaned forward like it was an action or thriller film, but really my body was just instinctively trying to devour everything on screen. Yang is an unfathomable genius and philosopher on the act and fact of living. He pierces through the veil of our existence and confronts us with muted violence. I felt all his criticisms and disillusionment as much as I did his optimism and faith in change.
