Accused of Murder 1956
this is a weird movie. aesthetics are community theater douglas sirk by way of underwhelming naturama (off brand technicolor also used by nazis). bizarrely paced. every single light is on in every single room. even the after hours nightclub and dance spot. there is however a czech figure skater turned b movie actress in it, so. is she good ? no. but shes still kinda fun and i like her career trajectory

Petite Maman 2021
beautiful. in lesser hands, it could have been something cloying and mawkish, but in céline sciamma’s, it is poetic and personal and tender and close to the nerve. i cried. the big, heavy gaping hole in the chest kind of crying.
