  The Grifters 1990

  ★★½ Watched 22 Jan 2025

  Coulda really cooked but there was little to no momentum and felt pretty unsexy for a movie with a ton of sexy people.

  First Reformed 2017

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 24 Apr 2023

  Watched a second time at the Metrograph with Paul Schrader doing a Q&A after. It seems he's hit a creative stride starting with this one, he said the technology has gotten to a point that he can film in half the time and get twice the film for editing. Favorite quote "I don't owe the investors getting rich off of my movie but I'll be nice and owe them breaking even" (to the best of my memory)

  Excited to read his book on Trandscendental Film that led to the creative choices here.

  I sobbed at how nice it would be to live with a forgiving and human financial institution
