    ***One of the best 150 films I have ever seen.***

    [Workprint Version]

    Arden, aged 45 by the time of the film's release, beyond being an actress, director and screenwriter, was also a feminist belonging to the anti-psychiatry movement of the 1960s, and this is recognized as her most furious denunciation. The main hypothesis pervading this psychologically and technically groundbreaking unprecedented masterwork is that Psychiatry is a subjective science which methodology depends on the applicant. She had knowledge of at least…

    ***One of the best 150 films I have ever seen.***

    I rarely use the description of someone else as a part of my review. In this case, however, it is mandatory, given the excellence of Thessaloniki's perspective:

    "A parable on space and time. A game of transformations. The course taken after a death, a second death. A woman gives birth and dies. At the moment of her death - a borderline moment, like the onset of sleep-her face scatters and…

    ***The ElCochran90 Discord Server 's Watch Party Redeem #71***
    **Recommended by ollie.**
    *Find full updated list here*.

    The apotheosis of guilt-ridden confabulation and spiritual altercations where the depth of the implications of every soul surpasses the superficiality of a luxurious, accommodated suburban life where the main high-class concern is not having enough hot dogs.

    I humbly use this cinematic piece as a reminder, or maybe as a space for others to learn just like I did once, that persōna is…

  • The Killing of a Sacred Deer

    The Killing of a Sacred Deer

    ★★★½

    Kubrickian corridor mazes and aristocratic parties, Haneke's nod to actual sadistic violence (without the social commentary), Fincher-like thriller splashes and even Villeneuve's exploration of physical abuse in the face of uncertainty and desperation, and all for what? To prove the duality of man?

    The craft is sporadically exquisite, certainly showing a more elevated form than The Lobster (2015), but this suffers from the Gone Girl (2014) / Prisoners (2013) syndrome, where violence is used as shock, which is especially concerning…

    Tetsuo: The Iron Man

    ★★★★★

    Imagine that Luis Buñuel and David Lynch had intense homosexual encounters in a cheap motel in Tokyo under the influence of hallucinogens. Imagine that, after that, both (yes, both) conceived a single son. Finally, imagine that the aforementioned son made a movie and that every single scene in that movie was directed by him when he had an orgasm smoking opium.

    That's Tetsuo, the true Iron Man, so the hell with the Marvel character. Tsukamoto takes us back to the…
