"Earned sentimentality."

| 85 75% | A City of Sadness (1989) - Rated 14 Dec 2024
"Beautifully visualized. I found the naturalistic sound design hypnotizing. The micro moments of transcendent beauty (amidst the mostly horrific and tragic) sell the more intimate stories of interrelations, allowing for a balance between the personal and political - and enhancing both. I did find it difficult to track those interrelations (personal and political alike), so it undoubtedly lost much in translation. If I could pick up on the breadth of its meaning, this would likely be perfection."

| 90 88% | La Cérémonie (1995) - Rated 13 Dec 2024
"Slow burn build culminating in brutality. Both leads are mesmerizing. The loneliness oozes from this; melodrama neutralized to indifference by escapist television. Reminiscent of Jeanne Dielman, early Haneke, Parasite. The end credits blew my mind straight off."
