Stunning.
Pretty good.
Just because...
The Fabelmans (Steven Spielberg, 2022) mild
Petite maman (CĂ©line Sciamma, 2021) mild
The Banshees of Inisherin (Martin McDonagh, 2022) mild
The last book I read was...
The Complete Short Stories by Mark Twain
The (New) World
Yup. Always wonderful to see filmmakers being able to pull off their own Bresson/Dreyer thing.Quoting Boner M (view post)
Absolutely wonderful. Moments throughout the last twenty minutes were devastating. Wanda's indifferent existence, and Agata Kulesza's marvelous performance, just continued to resonate even after []
Pawlikowski gets the nod for being able to make every image look like a still-life. The best film I've seen this year.
The Boat People - 9
The Power of the Dog - 7.5
The King of Pigs - 7
I liked this quite a bit too. As everyone's saying, the shot-making is superb, and the Rachel Griffiths look-alike Agata Kulesza deserves more plaudits for her performance than she'll get.
Sort of... ok?
The cinematograpy is definitively worth a look. The story, not so much. Pretty predictable, mundane stuff for the most part.
