Yes beautiful yes scary yes multispecies allegiance in the face of ecological collapse, but for me it's all about that bird on the top of the rock. a real Mystery in the middle of it all! life on earth is not just a sequence of random events, is the message I'm receiving here

Filth 2013
wow ok, a truly rotten awful movie. senselessly thrashing around with multiple Big Issues on the sexuality and mental health spectrum, but with no apparent point, no funny jokes, a plot like swiss cheese and some ill-fitting Gilliam-esque fantasy segments that add no enjoyment at all. offensive, but not in a fun way. makes 2013 seem like a very, very long time ago.
however... aside from the plot, it does have several hallmarks of the subsubgenre we know and love as #bigbeatcinema (ironic narration, retro rock and soul soundtrack, crime)

so sean baker makes political films that 'both sides' enjoy. this seems to puzzle people. but i think all he's really doing differently is bothering to give working class people some interiority. #berniewouldvewon

The Zone of Interest 2023
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Not sure where to start! Some incredible shots and ideas. Am I left unsatisfied by the ending, or is absence of dramatic convention rather the point for Glazer in portraying the banality of evil?
I'm thinking about the decision to obfuscate the narrative - letters we cannot read, characters we do not meet - as a method of avoiding sentimentality, and whether that feels right for Holocaust Art or not. We live now not just with the banality of evil…
