House of Gucci 2021

★★★★½ Watched by Mikko Pihkoluoma 29 Nov 2021

"Konnichiwa!"
Probably the best soundtrack in twenty years and the best time you will have at the movies this year. House of Gaga – and camp.
Eye of the Devil 1966

★★★½ Watched by Mikko Pihkoluoma 28 Nov 2021

There's a scene between David Niven and Sharon Tate that's worth suffering the occasional silliness. Gorgeous cinematography.

The Killing of a Sacred Deer 2017

★★★★★ Watched by Mikko Pihkoluoma 22 May 2017 1

Incredible use of music and total, detached control of the visual medium. Kubrickian horror with a dark and perverted Lanthimos irony on top.

The sick dark humour in particular makes it an original masterpiece and reaffirms the absolute mastery of absurdity that was in display in Dogtooth. This time Lanthimos just takes it into real art horror territory. Visceral, powerful cinema.
Memoria 2021

★★★★★ Watched by Mikko Pihkoluoma 15 Jul 2021

Weerasethakul at his finest with a surreal sci-fi starring Tilda Swinton. There's something almost Lynchian in the sound design and some of the lines.
