Got its hooks into me like nothing I've watched in years has. Feel like I understand maybe 40% of what was going on but fuck me could I feel it in my chest. Need to get this watched again sharpish.

Death Proof 2007
Reasonably entertaining whenever Kurt Russell is on screen, but the excessive foot fetish bullshit and lack of interesting characters mean only the pretty average action sequences provide any real enjoyment. The deliberately sloppy editing and film damage gimmick quickly wears thin too.

Aguirre, the Wrath of God 1972
Almost perfect. I've always enjoyed films depicting a descent into madness, and I've seen few actors portray it more compellingly than Kinski. The influence, both thematically and visually, on Apocalypse Now is obvious throughout. Apocalypse Now has long been one of my favourite films, but this could well be the superior picture.
