Drive My Car 2021
Around the world in 14 Films Festival #2
A joke:
Ryusuke Hamaguchi, Hong Sang-Soo, Éric Rohmer and Abbas Kiarostami get into a car. During the five hour drive, no one speaks a word. -
Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom 1975
An audience member got up to leave the screening because he couldn't take any more and collapsed trying to open the door. This was 20 minutes in.

Alcarràs 2022
It's nice. Very inoffensive and easily digestible, a Berlinale winner to satisfy everyone. It's just not bad, that's kind of it. I see why the jury likes it, and I suppose many others will also love it, but I thought it was just good. Don't get me wrong, I think it's not bad, because I think it's good, but I wish it was better than it is, which is not bad. Nothing about it really sticks out to me, though.…
