I still think Boarding Gate is really underrated, the sense of movement is so thrilling (same as in Demonlover I suppose)

Watched the early short film Laissé inachevé à Tokyo with Elli Medeiros - the plot is kind of nothing (bored author goes to Japan and gets involved with/escapes from gangsters, told non-linearly) but it's absolutely beautiful to look at and well worth 20 minutes of your time.

beyond description, a thriller that barely has a story and if there is one its plot movements only occur only in the unconscious senses, in diffracted reflections, in the cold light droning from computer screens, also contains tentacle hentai and gimp outfits, the best movie ever made

like an episode of succession that gradually wanders into a dennis cooper novel

loved watching the power relationships in this film invert and revert and spiderweb with the film barely remarking on it at all

It's a hell of a trip, that film.

It deserved a couple votes.

Kind of want to watch Carlos again, the cinema version, never saw the miniseries, maybe will finally watch Demonlover first.

Maybe I did watch Demonlover before but have forgotten it, so another reason to watch.

Recommend the whole Carlos series! I enjoyed the immersion.

Indeed. A real kick.

Not easy to stream it, unfortunately.

Finally watched Something in the Air after meaning to forever. Very much enjoyed it, I thought it was charming and evocative. Traffics in a certain level of nostalgic romanticism, but that's OK with me. I'm kind of a sucker for that whole era.

Have you seen Cold Water? It's like a blueprint for Something in the Air, and--I think--much better.

clemenza, Tuesday, 5 September 2023 02:21 (seven months ago) link

No, it's also been on the mean-to list for a while. I should.
