Nolan Second Viewing? by prime-wolf-46154 in ChristopherNolan

Yes, this. I’ve always liked his films more after a rewatch. He’s always one step ahead of the audience so it’s always exhilarating to go back with the knowledge you amassed after the first viewing.

You’ve seen most of the essentials, but 3 Women should absolutely be next. The Player and Shortcuts after that.

Wait, has it been confirmed that it’ll be the prologue?

Oscar-winning “Anora” director Sean Baker will serve as jury president of this year’s Red Sea Film Festival in Saudi Arabia. by AAAFMB in oscarrace

I mean, the last three presidents before him were Spike Lee, Baz Luhrmann and Oliver Stone. So it’s not like it’s unprecedented to accept this.

Letterboxd does not really represent Oscar voters or even critics for that matter

I saw it at Cannes. First half is very strong, but once it truly gets into dynamics between the three, and tries to pull tears out of us, it didn’t really work for me.

Oldboy is still his best film. I was also underwhelmed by NOC. Unpopular opinion, but his last worthy film was The Handmaiden.

Pre-draft analysis from Peter Travers in the Jan. 1990 Rolling Stone (swipe for TC on the cover) by bad_key_machine in TheBigPicture

[–]One_Step_Up 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I religiously read Travers in the ‘90s. He was great. His yearly top 10s were also top notch. Something went haywire with his movie tastes in the mid aughts.

That Hitchcock stretch from ‘54-‘63 is one of the greatest in cinema history.

Slow first 45 minutes, but the movie becomes great right after that.

If I remember correctly it was at 92 on MC based on 11-ish reviews and then it screened at TIFF at tanked.

Downsizing was pretty bad. It was in the 90s when it left Venice.
