Didn’t really know what I was getting into seeing this which made for a really uncomfortable theater experience as it became clear what the movie was about. A devastating and infuriating story that’s unfortunately pretty universal across cultures. The scene with all the aunts “comforting” Shula and Nsansa was sickening stuff. Family is the most important thing and you must never do anything to harm the family, and in return they will manipulate you and ruin your life and leave you to rot.

Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion 1970
This is soooooo good!!! I loved Dottore’s internal battle, one side wanting to get away with murder but the other side wanting his police force to be as competent as possible in dealing with all the subversives of society. In the end he finds out that he can have it both ways! Your fascist leaders don’t have to be accountable to the same laws and standards that bind everyone else.

Barry Lyndon 1975
Obviously incredible. Very easily the best looking movie I’ve ever seen, there isn’t a single frame in 3+ hours that’s ugly or poorly arranged. At the parts of the movie that drag a bit (of which there are few) you can stay entertained by just looking at it. The story itself is compelling and often really funny. A movie that absolutely should be seen in theaters if possible.
Unrelated: The men’s line was 5 times longer than the women’s at intermission and the ladies were all laughing at us and saying they had never seen that before
