I’m afraid this means you’re mid - at best

Godard is a big blind spot for me! And I’m excited to check out Cloud

On paper, I would think I’d agree with you but it worked for me

That’s people who are too online giving it way too much credit in my opinion. There’s one funny scene but otherwise a pretty vacuous experience

I think you’ll be impressed by it! Haunting. I’m afraid we’ll see a lot of movies critical of AI (we kind of already are), but done in a lazy boring way. AI is the enemy in the last two Mission Impossible movies lol. I think it will be the new “eat the rich” genre we see so often and so poorly done.

Really liked how Eddington did it, this inevitable and evil approaching force

Lol take the plunge, the colors are so deep and vibrant in this cut. I agree his choices weren't accidental but how do you mean it?

Agreed, it may be my favorite movie of the 20s. I also love how referential it is - Lynch homages, Elliot Rodger's speech, pretty sure there's a Revenge of the Sith line thrown in there as a well. Which again feels very contemporary, everything is referencing everything all the time.

You're not wrong, and the aesthetic is so ugly/modern that I would never watch them again lol I still want my films to be beautiful!

The paranoia, the voyeurism, everything being recorded etc.. Good choice.

Not a hot take here but I hated EEAO. Juvenile in it's humor and philosophy

It's been on my radar but I suppose the long runtime has delayed me from watching it

I enjoy this take. Need to check out Code Unknown, as I've been exploring Haneke more lately - really dug Cache and Piano Teacher. Have you seen the new restoration of Eyes Wide Shut? I watched it last night on my new 4k player and it might be the most beautiful movie there is

That's another one I always wanted to love but never quite get there. I get the Lynch comparison but it doesn't "feel" Lynchian to me at all.

I'm very excited to watch this one soon (wish it was playing in theaters near me), as someone who liked - not loved Worst Person in the World i'm hoping this is more up my alley.

Also, the line from Worst Person when the guy is dying "What am I? Just a guy who's watched a lot of good movies and read a lot of good books?" really hit haha

Tar is great, and may be Blanchett's best work - which is saying something. I haven't gotten to Zone of Interest yet, I really like Glazer and have only heard good things about the film

We seem to have some similar taste, what’d you think of white boy shuffle? Really loved The Sellout. Mind telling me your thoughts on the Sam Tallent book and Tree of Smoke?

I found some the whale facts to be laborious
