"Review based on the first half of the film. Crappy music arranged to tell the audience when to feel what, and constant jumps in timeline that only serves as an annoying attempt to be smart. Despite the homosexual element that doesn't seem to add much to the film, and despite some feeling that Tashi is characterised to fit in with the "fierce women" stereotype in cinema today, her strong, controlling stance does, however, at some points draw out some interesting flavour in the threesome dynamics."

| 85 64% | The Fly (1986) - Rated 21 Jul 2024
"Struggle to compose a future in an existence that has been altered to its genetic soil, and the doomed tragic failure of this struggle. See Daniel Ross's review of Siesta (1987): https://www.academia.edu/94550175/Moving_Images_A_Personal_Record."

"How women's desire necessarily unfolds in a swing between a caveman and a mama's boy, with their respective virtues and vices, and how men always love getting cream on themselves and licking it all clean, no matter how they might also love complaining afterwards that it's not actually delicious."

| 60 33% | Showgirls (1995) - Rated 14 Jul 2024
"A bunch of lines that are more than just humour. In the middle of the carousel of how life sucks and shit happens, which some read as a satire, is nonetheless a fierce demand for more life and more fuck: as a story, it might be melodramatic, but it has a spirit so unsuppressed that it's truly loveable. How much criticism the main actress and the sex scene received is beyond this viewer's comprehension: seems like critics prefer the useless flesh around the hole to the hole itself."

| 93 84% | The Conversation (1974) - Rated 05 Jul 2024
"The spread of paranoia when technology of traces makes it possible for every perspective of our life to be involved in and become a competition of information in an uncontrolled way, and how, even the smartest and best-equipped soldiers of this era can be defencelessly infected and swallowed by its psychological poison. Brilliant depiction of a major symptom of an epoch-making technology that remains highly relevant to our time, and impressive performance by Gene Hackman."

| 91 78% | Au hasard Balthazar (1966) - Rated 05 Jul 2024
"About how the impact of malice and carelessness can accumulate to an irreversible point. The almost cold style strengthens its effect."

| 85 64% | Mayak (2006) - Rated 04 Jul 2024
"The turmoil and struggle of living a life in war. Pretty unusual way of image composition, giving a strong sense of the tension and connection between the protagonist and her milieu, and between her reality, past and imagination: highly intimate and affecting, while remaining emotionally controlled. Singular and full of character."
|
| 75 45% | Kinds of Kindness (2024) - Rated 03 Jul 2024
"A second viewing needed, but a question this film's trying to get at seems to be: is some form of control actually the kind of kindness people need for living?"

| 82 58% | Poor Things (2023) - Rated 03 Jul 2024
"Story of my life."
