I watch movies, and also engage in other activities

Andrei Rublev (1966) dir. Andrei Tarkovsky

#Andrei Rublev #Andrei Tarkovsky #One of the most perfect films ever made #Probably the only film about The Creative Process that is not annoying for even one second

Apr 5

Ivan's Childhood (1962) dir. Andrei Tarkovsky

#Ivan's Childhood #Ivanovo Detstvo #Andrei Tarkovsky #I feel like this one gets sort of set aside as the “least Tarkovsky” but I'm not sure that's reasonable #Crazy how striking every other frame is in this despite the murky palette

Mar 22

Yi Yi (2000) dir. Edward Yang

#Yi Yi #Edward Yang #One of the most perfect films ever made #I saw this in a theater for the first time a couple months ago and spent the last like 20 minutes in tears

Mar 12

Mahjong (1996) dir. Edward Yang

#Mahjong #Edward Yang #Yang's worst movie and it's still better than your fave's best oops #We do love the ending and not just because it's the only scene where anyone plays mahjong

Mar 11

A Confucian Confusion (1994) dir. Edward Yang

#A Confucian Confusion #Duli Shidai #Edward Yang #The most criminally underappreciated Yang film!!#Love how this so emphatically veers into comedy but is still so identifiably the same thing he's been doing all along

Mar 10

A Brighter Summer Day (1991) dir. Edward Yang

#A Brighter Summer Day #Guling Jie Shaonian Sharen Shijian #Edward Yang #One of the most perfect films ever made #Ended up with a pretty rigid theme for this set but the number of just beautiful compositions in this is off the charts

Mar 2

The Terrorizers (1986) dir. Edward Yang

#The Terrorizers #Kongbu Fenzi #Edward Yang #Maybe Yang's darkest and most difficult film? Equally vexing and crushing with a major gut punch ending #My pick for best use of Smoke Gets In Your Eyes in cinema as well

Mar 1

Taipei Story (1985) dir. Edward Yang

#Taipei Story #Qingmei Zhuma #Edward Yang #Big fan of how this is kind of a double novelty lead situation with Hou Hsiao-hsien and Tsai Chin #A bit overrated imo but clearly an important film for Yang to make

Feb 26

That Day on the Beach (1983) dir. Edward Yang

#That Day on the Beach #Haitan de Yitian #Edward Yang #Not that he was a novice at this point but this is SUCH a sophisticated and ambitious debut feature #Getting Christopher Doyle as a newbie on this is also just completely unfair

Feb 24

One Battle After Another (2025) dir. Paul Thomas Anderson

#One Battle After Another #Paul Thomas Anderson #I remember being very skeptical when this was being pitched as a PTA action movie but wow he hit it out of the park #Crazy that Leo Benicio and Sean Penn all put out highlight reel stuff and Teyana Taylor still clears with only 20-some mins of screentime

Feb 9

The Mastermind (2025) dir. Kelly Reichardt

#The Mastermind #Kelly Reichardt #The successor to Night Moves that we didn't know we needed #Josh O'Connor is such a consummate bastard in this it's really incredible

Feb 8

A House of Dynamite (2025) dir. Kathryn Bigelow

#A House of Dynamite #Kathryn Bigelow #Been a long time since I've seen a film hamstrung this bad by its structure - why do we need to do the same thing three times?#Really is a shame because this is very tense and effective moment to moment but it just gets stale by the end

Feb 6

Blue (1993) dir. Derek Jarman

#Blue #Blue 1993 #Derek Jarman #One of the most perfect films ever made #Do not trust anyone who is dismissive of this

Feb 6

Wittgenstein (1993) dir. Derek Jarman

#Wittgenstein #Derek Jarman #Jarman did the minimal staging thing a number of times but it's extreme here - makes sense since he was nearly blind at this point #Appeals to the inner teenage philosophy nerd in me but it's just a bit too slight in the end

Feb 5

Edward II (1991) dir. Derek Jarman

#Edward II #Derek Jarman #Jarman's sense of humor is I think a little underrated - despite the subject and approach there's a lot here that's really funny #But yeah on top of that this is a towering film and still one of the best ever Tilda Swinton roles

Feb 3

The Garden (1990) dir. Derek Jarman

#The Garden #Derek Jarman #Really expressive stuff that makes the most of its lo-fi trappings #Jarman is of course being a little irreverent but his juxtaposing of the AIDS epidemic over the Passion is actually very on point!

Jan 24

War Requiem (1989) dir. Derek Jarman

#War Requiem #Derek Jarman #The parts that are just reliant on the music and prose and are just lamenting the human cost of war are like fine #But I really think Jarman made a mistake including all of the real world footage of actual people dying in modern wars. Kind of tasteless!
