  Man on the Roof 1976

  ★★★★½ Watched 26 Dec 2023

  Been wanting to see this since it was listed in Lukas Moodysson’s 10 best films for Sight & Sound in 2012. Radiance put out the Blu-Ray, and I have finally watched it and it rules.

  What starts as a procedural in the wee hours of mid-70’s Stockholm turns into a roller coaster of hyper realistic film making, and a truly edge of your seat climax. Loved it. Also so many shots of coffee. 

  (I have to confess I owned the Swedish DVD for years and never opened it. Story of my life.)

  Non-Fiction 2018

  ★★★★ Watched 10 Mar 2019 1

  French dinner parties, e-books, and a nice meta gag at the end that of course won me over.
