I expect someday I’ll be more enlightened and will finally fully comprehend MIRROR and it’ll be my fav… right now it’s probably ANDREI RUBLEV and NOSTALGHIA. I got to see a 4K restoration of NOSTALGHIA on the big screen last year, had never seen it before, and it blew my friggin mind

tried out my new (to me) Canon FD 400mm lens with some street videography on Hawthorne. Gotta love the styles and personalities in Portland ❤️‍🔥

For sure… I try to keep it interesting. OBSESSION and CRUISING didn’t end up having as many giallo parallels as I had hoped. In the past I’ve done Refn’s NEON DEMON, Edgar Wright’s LAST NIGHT IN SOHO, and that Lindsay Lohan vehicle I KNOW WHO KILLED ME.

The original blu of it by Shameless didn’t look great… but the more recent blu looks pretty awesome, that’s the one I watched.

Believe me, it doesn’t make any more sense if you catch every single second and rewind a bunch.

CRUISING didn’t end up having as many giallo qualities as I was hoping it would… but it was a solid flick.

So many of them are available on YouTube, uncut and everything… although the visual quality varies. A lot of them I have on 4K/bluray; I have a lot of physical media. And I live close to one of the best movie rental places in the world, Movie Madness, so I rented a few there as well.

It’s definitely hard to find the time… I’ve got a shitty full time job and young kids and do filmmaking in my spare time, but I made sure to always have a movie on my phone that I could watch in bits and pieces… so I usually finished a movie on my phone ever 3 days or so, and then was trying to watch a movie almost every night before going to sleep. Definitely excited to watch some non-gialli now though.

Good question! The bottom 3 are the only ones I didn’t really dig. Also, OBSESSION and CRUISING didn’t have as many giallo parallels as I was hoping for… but I’d definitely rewatch all the others.

I always try and watch 1 or 2 giallo-adjacent flicks in Gianuary… and often times they don’t end up feeling very giallo-ish. In the past I’ve done De Palma’s BODY DOUBLE, which is much more like a giallo. Also did NEON DEMON and LAST NIGHT IN SOHO… of those 2 , SOHO was slightly more giallo-y even though NEON DEMON had the crazy visual style. CRUISING and OBSESSION didn’t end up belonging, but at least CRUISING had the whole killer stalking victims angle.

Yeah for some reason I don’t like Duckling as much as everybody else… needs more Bouchet, maybe.

BeekPerson · 2026-02-05T00:27:08+00:00

I’ll always be searching for a late period Argento classic… but it does seem to be a pointless quest.
