  Irma Vep 1996

  ★★★★½ Watched 19 Mar 2023

  This movie literally makes you read the words “cinema isn’t magic, it’s science and technique” and then drops you into a dinner scene that is pure magic. If it’s science, then it’s chemistry.

  Three Thousand Years of Longing 2022

  ★★★½ Watched 26 Aug 2022 2

  We Babe: Pig in the City fans never doubted  for a second 

  The hyper kinetic marketing betrayed what amounts to a two-hander stage play where the monologues get visualized in acid-dipped montage. Then again, how the hell do you market such a thing?

  Whatever the case, I’m glad someone finally made the perfect Baz Luhrman movie.

  Cloud Atlas 2012

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 14 Mar 2023 2

  If I had to pick one movie to watch before I died, it would be Cloud Atlas. Partly because it brings me peace with the universe. And partly because it would buy me a shit ton of time.
