Letterboxd — Your life in film

Off the bat, because this will probably be the hot button topic, the Rudy Giuliana scene is certainly not damning but is definitely questionable. The scene itself certainly served its purpose, whether that was somewhat incited by the film or not, it works for the film.

This is the kick of edgy filmmaking that we needed. It really does a great job of riding that line and its all the more impressive with the two performances. Who would have expected…

While there are definitely a few elements I'm left cold on, esspecially near the end of the film, I was able to stay with this film. Anyway, "figuring it out" is probably not the point. I think about the discussion about Lucy's landscape painting and her belief that you have to invision yourself looking out over the landscape to project emotion.

Kaufman has done his job by creating the frame with creative narrative conventions that invite audience participation. Our interaction…

Is society the best movie ever?

Yes.

The beginning, and I mean the first two scenes we get, are exactly Goosebumps. Then the credits is the infamous fucking pile of orgy fucking. What the fuck? The first time around my brain literally could not put that together. Like I just had no idea what I was looking at and second time around I had been shown the truth. Like some fucked up gestalt. Isn't that kind of a spoiler though?…

This is one of those special movies, after one watch I can already tell. This really is a cathartic experience in its meditation of suicide, hope, and human connection. More than the catharsis, it was just a talk I needed right now. Mr. Bagheri was so good and was such a beacon of hope. Also, being filled with non-actors, the world and authenticity of the film just feel so emotionally evocative. Ultimately, though, a lot like Close Up, by the…

Benoit flexing with all that experience shooting money shots in 3-D. Really though, this cinematography is extensive and beautiful. I guess its a lot of props to ops for being so good on the fly. I can barely focus with moving subjects on film sets. Even when I'm basically focus pulling on a dolly or something its hard. Let alone making the use of focus artful, esspecially when using the strangely long lenses this film uses. Like the scene when…

I've been struggling to get my thoughts about this film out for a while. Its so unique and unlike any other film I've seen. First off, this movie smells like no other. It is absolutely foul and putred with a few moments (the ending of course) that are beyond what I thought cinema was capable of. That being said, I'm not sure this is cinema.

There is such an immeditate quality to our pressence within the film; beautifully communicated through…

Theres a lot I have to say about Bojack Horseman but I'll try to keep this short. I haven't been following the show very long so over the past few months I've been totally immersed, watching and rewatching, beating myself up for not giving it a chance earlier. Suffice it to say, I love it, its the kind of story that balance the comedic irony of life and the honest despair of existence. This whole concept is beautifully depicted through…

While I still have yet to seen Song to Song or To the Wonder, I adore the Tree of Life so much and I really like Knight of Cups despite its clear aimlessness that has marked his work this decade that puts most off. So when I hear he's going back to narrative, I was kind of nervous he'd fumble his return. I seemed to forget that his idea of narrative is still not traditional. And boy was it fantastic.…
