  Possession 1981

  ★★★★★ Watched by 🏳️‍⚧️ Diana Geraldine 🏳️‍⚧️ 31 Oct 2021

  Without you I wouldn't feel anything at all!

  In Berlin, a woman's bizarre behavior toward her husband and son, geared towards a macabre new interest in a mysterious crumbling apartment block leads those around her into discovering horrific realities, full of sex, gore, the presence of soul, and the strangest portrayal of identity.
  Possession is both hilarious and disturbing, and stretches your mind in five different directions while watching it. Fueled by Isabelle Adjani's incredible performance and chemistry along with…

  Portrait of a Lady on Fire 2019

  ★★★★★ Rewatched by 🏳️‍⚧️ Diana Geraldine 🏳️‍⚧️ 20 Nov 2021 3

  In solitude, I felt the liberty you spoke of. But I also felt I missed you.

  Absolute intimacy, care, and the pangs of heartbreak drive director Céline Sciamma's pristinely silent vision in Portrait de la jeune fille en feu. In the freshest visuals, we dwell in an isolated world without men, yet their patriarchal influence is everywhere... Héloïse is a woman brought back from the convent to fall into a marriage she did not endorse, and Marianne is to paint…

  The Stendhal Syndrome 1996

  ★★★½ Watched by 🏳️‍⚧️ Diana Geraldine 🏳️‍⚧️ 25 Jun 2022

  My feeling is so profound that it borders on pity. All this speaks clearly to my soul. Ah, if only I could forget it.

  [Dario Argento- 12/20]
  A movie with a bite which only comes a little later. Fascinating mystery, really loved the weird psychology at play, of course an asset to any good Argento giallo. The first half wasn’t as captivating aside from Anna’s trance states (with weird use of CGI, though I’ll give it a pass given that…

  Trauma 1993

  ★★★★ Watched by 🏳️‍⚧️ Diana Geraldine 🏳️‍⚧️ 24 Jun 2022 2

  You did it! You did it! You did it!

  [Dario Argento- 11/20]
  I love the essence of style that Argento brings to this film, and it’s very visually striking (the rotating shot entering the house is incredible). Loved the mystery, and the creepy payoff is definitely worthwhile. Asia Argento and Christopher Rydell work well as a team in here, and it’s very well put together. Definitely one of Argento’s compelling mysteries.

  However, what’s up with him being that creepy around…

  Coming Out 2020

  ★★★★★ Rewatched by 🏳️‍⚧️ Diana Geraldine 🏳️‍⚧️ 07 Feb 2021 20

  Hi friends. If you haven’t read my thoughts on Euphoria: F*ck Anyone Who's Not a Sea Blob, consider this my coming out post to you. (And yes, I did rewatch this charming short by Cressa Beer).

  For the last 21 years you may have known me as another name. I’ve been going about among you all as some stereotypical masculine heterosexual individual, never really feeling fully at home with the masculine self, but also never feeling strongly enough to do anything…

  Euphoria: F*ck Anyone Who’s Not a Sea Blob 2021

  ★★★★★ Watched by 🏳️‍⚧️ Diana Geraldine 🏳️‍⚧️ 22 Jan 2021 2

  Hi friends, this review is sort of a coming out for me.
  Really heavy but well-paced, Euphoria: Fuck Anyone Who’s Not a Sea Blob is the therapy session that I needed this week. It’s a deep dive into Jules Vaughn’s psyche, but also underscores a lot of themes about what it’s like to be trans and what it can mean for the individual. It has moments both beautiful, sad, emotional, and surreal. Call me a sap, but it made me cry when I…
