Favorites are my favorite new watches each month
Current Watchlist: Joy
Such a special movie for special little people.
Watched on 4K Blu-ray
It hasn’t aged well in terms of sexual politics (and it was rightly decried even at the time for being problematic as hell) but good god the museum scene is one of those easy-to-conceive-but-nearly-impossible-to-master sequences that DePalma’s career is built on.
Watched on HBO Max
Watched this again the day after the first viewing. This watch helped me piece together some of the visual language and the motifs used throughout.
The music is great.
Adam Driver is so good.
The final duet made me sob.
The post-credit scene made me cry too.
The most moving musical I’ve seen outside of All That Jazz and Nashville.
