  Just Don't Think I'll Scream 2019

  ★★★ Watched 25 Jan 2022 1

  I think Beauvais' writing about his ennui ranged from banal to revelatory, but the film really shines in its editing. His eye and instincts for montage are sharp and even with the audio muted this would still hold power in its images.

  Oh, Georges Méliès, you provocateur. First moving image featuring partial nudity. They didn't mention this one in Hugo.
