How dare they make a film that tries to and quite successfully captures the indescribable grandiosity of life?! How dare they film such a gorgeous, ambitious story right up in the mountains and not on a set?! How dare they make such an unforgettably moving film about friendship and nature and the paths we take in life?! How dare they play with my heart like this?!
There's a moment in this film when Pietro says he needs to get away,…
"Have you ever reckoned the Earth much?"
Rewatched Edson Oda's Nine Days again for the first time in 18 months since Sundance 2020 and... you know this is an absolute *masterpiece*, right? It's everything magical about cinema and the spectacular existence of life and beyond. Pure bliss. Astonishing and awe-inspiring in every possible way, from the score to the set design to the performances to the story itself about life and what it means to be alive. This is an…
"You have to confront the brutal facts of the reality that you might not pull it off. But at the same time have unwavering faith, completely unwavering faith, and you have to do both at the same time."
Beautiful film. So much heart and soul captured in this story of love and art and creativity. More smart and wholesome and creative musician "biopic" docs like this please.
Third time around this time in Berlin at my local theater. Just is perfect as ever, still a pure joy experience.
One of the most mesmerizing "did I dream this or did I actually watch this?" experiences at the cinema this year. Filmmaking at its finest, grainy film stock and all. Every moment, every interaction, everything in every frame of this film adds to the richness and depth and beauty of this story of Arthur and his lust for immortal love. The two songs about the "Tombaroli" make me beam every single time I hear them. I love them so so so much.
Luca reigns!! OMFG, you guys. OMFG. You have no idea how much this is going to fuck you all up forever.
I really don't even know where to begin with Suspiria. The Kubrick comparisons I heard beforehand are accurate. There's so much to unpack, and analyze, and discuss. Take your time. We have the rest of this year, and the next few years, to talk about it at length. Just don't miss it. See this film.
Wooooooooooo Rocketman is the upbeat, sparkly, flamboyant rock musical we've all been waiting for! It's everything that Bohemian Rhapsody should've been, but wasn't. What a banger!! Makes me want to dance and sing ooooh yeahhh.
This is a vibrantly creative, imaginative, emotional rock biopic that doesn't shy away from being as gay and loud and honest and danceable as it damn well should be. Jamie Bell's performance as Bernie Taupin is as excellent as Taron Egerton as Elton John, both…
