This is why I watch movies.
This is cinema in its best and purest form. Apocalypse Now is perfect in every aspect of filmmaking and somehow is also able to transcend the medium with its soul (the result of a soul-crushing production) and its grandeur.
It serves as an argument both in favor of and against the auteur theory. Clearly not something you can achieve without someone who had a vision like Coppola did, but also definitely not a sustainable…
"Last night I had a dream where John Travolta removed his wig and there was a second John Travolta face right beneath it."
That'd make a hell of a movie!
Anyways, Buffaloed is like the first half of Wolf of Wall Street, but with Zoey Deutch, who you may know from being amazing in everything she's in, lots of chicken wings and a weird love/hate obsession for the Buffalo Bills.
This really deserves more attention than it is getting.
While it may not be as out there as his work from the 70s to the mid-80s, De Palma at his most mainstream is still a solid filmmaker. The kind who manages to craft the climactic sequence as an homage to Battleship Potemkin.
Can't get enough of De Niro as Al Capone and Sean Connery is truly great as well. Of course all of this wouldn't be the same without the late Morricone's beautiful score.
Hey it's your generic love story but it's about gay people.
Letterboxd: Better give this a 5 star then!

Church burnings and murder are amongst the things that this underground movement proclaims.
This movie was directed by Jonas Åkerlund,…
