I like anything involving a Coen Brother or Bob Dylan. Preferably both.

Scott Walker: 30 Century Man 2006
I remember when I was in my mod phase and asking my parents for the CDs of Scott 1-4 one Christmas. I used to listen to them on repeat, blown away by the mystery of it all. I had little desire to know much about the man behind the sunglasses, though. The mystery is what made them so good.
I’m glad this doc doesn’t over explain or ‘factualise’ too much. It allows the aura to remain whilst simultaneously proving there…Translated from by -
Love Lies Bleeding 2024
Perfect rewatch. Just the coolest. The clothes, the hair, the music, the inherent queerness of it all… fuck yeah. The cinematic influences Glass (genius) taps into are all so me, too (late-era Lynch, early Coens, James M. Cain stories). Literally don’t think I could trust someone who said they didn’t like this film
((Another opportunity to push my theory of Stewart’s anxiety-acting being the best around))
Oh and if anyone has more queer noir recommendations lmk!

A Real Pain 2024
Finally got around to it :)
Strikes a strong balance and interplay between the backdrop and the humans navigating it. I think a good measure of such films is that they give insight into the place/subjects without feeling like a documentary. Giving more than facts could in a way?? This does. Really wanna visit.
The comedy and drama is fairly well balanced, too. Well deserved Oscars imo
((interesting for probably only me that the two characters are literally the two sides of the AuDHD personality??))

Eileen 2023
Wanted to rewatch for a while. I remember the initial experience of watching this at a festival screening being jaw-dropping, yet it was released to lukewarm reviews (not from my dear friends, I must add) and it slipped under the radar. I wanted to prove to myself I was right and, somewhat uncharacteristically, a) I am right b) I am willing to back this.
The final act loses none of its power upon rewatch - equal parts sickening and engrossing,…
