  Memoria 2021

  ★★★★½ Watched 29 Jan 2023

  I feel pretentious for being as moved by this as I was. But I broke down sobbing in the 3rd act. 

  I remember everything, so I limit what I see.

  La Notte 1961

  ★★★★★ Watched 06 Nov 2022

  Have always been in awe of Antonioni but in a way that mostly left me cold. This one left me crying for days. The world modernizes. Convictions dissolve. Friends die. Love evaporates. Goes without saying that Antonioni is a master of composition, but this is some of his most striking framing (and some of the most incredible lighting I’ve ever seen in a black and white film). The perfect equilibrium point between style and substance.

  Licorice Pizza 2021

  ★★★★ Watched 29 Dec 2021

  Perfectly captures the feeling of being well into your twenties and looking around at those who are younger than you both with resentment and longing for their ability to live a lighter existence. The mortifying ordeal of taking yourself seriously
