I think I’ve come to the conclusion that David Lynch films are best described as, for a lack of a better word, vibes (or possibly it’s the best possible word to describe the works of David Lynch). After one of the most dead days I’ve ever worked at my bar, I figured I’d catch a last minute screening of Lost Highway; at this point, I wouldn’t miss an opportunity to see a Lynch on…
The most visceral thing Tsukamoto has made next to Tetsuo: The Iron Man, Haze is a 50-minute, claustrophobic nightmare shot on digital after it was dragged through debris, sweat, and a hallway full of gore. Primarily using very uncomfortable close-up shots and a phenomenal sound design that made me cringe on multiple occasions (teeth is all I’ll say thank you very much), Tsukamoto creates a hell scape contained within layers and layers of concrete, rarely ever giving you room to…

Presenting Gen Z characters in a satirical fashion is a really thin tightrope, especially when the audience you’re aiming…
Surprisingly overwhelmed by this. If it isn’t clear by now, Jordan Peele is one damn fine director; it takes some filmmakers years to garner this amount of confidence and a voice this strong and potent and after three films, Peele has cemented himself as not only one of Hollywood’s most distinct voices, but one who is willing to make a truly unique experience for wider audiences that blends difficult subject matter with breathtaking spectacle. I’m going to have to sit…
