Characters moving between an impossible universe, the camera as a device to tear the seams of subjective reality, people bowing and destroying the performative roles that have been perpetrated by their environment, speed as a means to run away and find something new, emotion as tool to connect the tissue of distanced souls, villians as saviours, heros as enemies, the pretences we have built our world on being exposed for the arbitrary opaque mess that they are, coping with loss…

All Dogs Go to Heaven 1989
Today there's sun, they said there'd be snow
When all said and done, it's fun not to know
What keeps my heart humming
Is guessing what's coming
Let me be surprised
Oh, ain't it great
When fate lets you wait
The world seems mirthless
You feel worthless
And suddenly there's a big
Bone on your plateOh, Charlie, please remember
Down there's a world of used cars
And singles bars, broken dreams
And out of reach starsBang! The shot…

Back to Basics: Live and Down Under 2008
A woman singing her heart out for the whole world to see, traversing through Americana destroying the original ethos through sexually charged iconography that seeks to demystify and bring power back to the ones who were wronged. Spellbinding, from one moment it's absurdly camp then it's unabashedly tugs at your heart strings (Aguileras Oh Mother segment is so heartbreaking). There's so slouching here, the costumes, choreography, the theming, the three act arc it's all so immaculate. Actual angel dust on this taping, transcendent and magic perhaps the greatest thing ever graced amongst us mere mortals.

Lost River 2014
Long afloat on shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
'Til your singing eyes and fingers
Drew me loving to your isle
And you sang
Sail to me, sail to me
Let me enfold you
Here I am, here I am
Waiting to hold youDid I dream, you dreamed about me?
Were you here when I was full sail?
Now my foolish boat is leaning
Broken lovelorn on your rocks
For you sing
Touch me not, touch…

The Beatles: Get Back 2021
I like how when the minute George leaves the whole studio descends into chaos, Yoko, Paul, Ringo and John just start playing this avant-garde freak out, Paul's swinging on the metal bars, waltz dancing, everyone turns into a yelling banshee, absolute insanity. Quite spellbinding, emotional and confounding as a piece of documentary narrative art. Really nails home the stress and uneasiness that can come from creation, proves that real life can have as much tapestry as a great work of…

Scream 2022
Oh my god, oh my fucking god um I don't even know where to start. Lets just say this is a loving continuation of what Scream 4 was doing, someone actually took Cravens message to heart and put it into practice. Wes wanted us as audiences to take the tragedy seriously, witness without detachment, question things but always remain in good faith and operate with compassion. This new Scream carries these directives and normalizes them within the Scream universe. Samantha…
