Letterboxd — Your life in film

All things considered… a pretty good scream.

The last time I saw it, I thought it was an incoherent mess, and one of David Lynch’s worst films.
This time, despite still not grasping *everything*, I think it’s quite a beautiful character piece, and might even be one of his better films.

Almost as good as Morbius

Robert Shaw is one of the most underrated actors of all time

I was very confused by the first half which I probably shouldn’t have watched late in the evening when my mind was elsewhere. The second half, which I watched this morning, felt much more linear but I think I could have appreciated this more if I had watched it properly. I guess my problem with vengeance stories also diminishes my liking of this film, although you really can’t deny what a fucking talent Park is. The final shot is some of the most beautiful shit I’ve seen in quite a while.

They sure did put the “Goth” in Gotham this time, didn’t they

"Some people, they’ll never accept him. But some will. And he seems to know how to find the good ones."

I don’t know why, given it’s Pixar, but for some reason I didn’t expect this movie to be this good. Feels good to be surprised.

Pleasantly surprised.

Feels almost as bad as The Hotel New Hampshire, afterwards I found out it’s by the same writer who I will avoid from now on like my life depended on it. Yikes.
