    Birds, Orphans and Fools

    ★★★½

    A weird but interesting mix between Jules and Jim and Daisies (obvious references but still).

    It has the love triangle and the sweet exuberance of the former's first act, and the stylish originality of the latter. The whole film is thus controlled chaos: the format and color change, the camera feels as free-flow as it has ever been in the cinema, the character is more haphazard than usual.

    But what is its greatest strength is also its biggest weakness: it's…

    Part 31/31 of Hooptober 10

    That being said, it's too bad to end such a fun challenge on a low point, as this is probably the worst film I've seen this Hooptober (except for Dracula 3000 of course).

    The film makes a couple changes compared to the novel, especially at the beginning, but honestly they…

    ★★★★

    This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

    Way better sound mixing than Tenet lol.

    Joking aside, I really enjoyed this! More epic in scope than most biopics, more detailed and ambitious than most blockbusters. This is full of nolarisms while also being much more character-driven than most of his films.

    This is clearly a product of Nolan's position as someone with both symbolic capital and commercial success. Sure it's the reason filmbros revere him, but he's still one of the few directors working today to achieve that…
