    ★★½

    usually a fan of bong joon-ho and his style of finding rhythms as quickly as he loses them but this has quite obviously been shredded in post production and it’s a mess - love pattinson and ackie together though

    this lands in eerily similar territory to Oppenheimer for me and that’s not meant as a compliment - both films point to the permanent marks left on planet earth by the horrors of the 20th century yet they seem more than willing to avoid the more thorny aspects of their subject matter

    quite honestly if filmmakers want to commit to grandiose works like this then they ought to be a bit less fangless about it

    House of Tolerance

    ★★★★½

    a rich (and seemingly infinite) tapestry of horrors suffered by women under capitalism that still somehow manages to be one of the most delicate and utterly gorgeous period pieces ever put to screen
