  The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie 1972

  Watched 20 Mar 2025

  Wish I had a captive audience to sit and listen to my dreams…

  
  Notes  (cf Valerie notes on surrealism)
  - replay of l’âge d’or’s uncontrollably sexual couple, as well as the constant interruption of a central aim. 
  - mirrors, poison and death…
  - absurdism as well as surrealism? 
  - strong recursion of motif. Valerie - surrealism has a coherence that’s not to do with narrative.

  Nickel Boys 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 28 Feb 2025

  Exquisite work. Only a couple of lines here and there that felt too polished. That boxing match was somehow so stressful

  The Vanishing 1988

  What a double bill with Sunset Blvd lol. Thanks Aisha 😭

  What a final shot. Has had quite the legacy it seems. Many interesting comparison pieces to be had - Burning (2018), Decision to Leave (2022), even Prisoners (2013).
