  The Salesman 2016

  ★½ Added 2

  1/31/22 Wears out its welcome long before the end. The characters all seem sketchy, the plot more than cumbersome. If there are any ideas here, I didn't find them.

  Putin's Witnesses 2018

  ★★★½ Added

  1/31/22 An informative behind-the-scenes glimpse of Putin's first year in power, and how his videographer now feels about it--as well as how Boris Yeltsin and his family felt about it back then. I learned a lot about today's Russia from this, and as well as much about Putin.

  A.I. Artificial Intelligence 2001

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 19 Aug 2016 8

  Only Kubrick and Spielberg, working together on different time planes, could create such a philosophical and intellectual heartbreaker.

  The Other Side of the Wind 2018

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 06 Sep 2018 2

  Scary, elusive, easy to misunderstand, and radical.
