I watched it yesterday and have been thinking about it all day. Such a beautiful movie, and I don't really know what it's trying to say, if anything at all. But it perfectly encapsulates what it's like to think back on loved ones from our youth who are gone (that's my reading of it, anyways). The score is really fantastic too. <br /><br />Thanks so much for the recommendation. I don't know if I would have watched it otherwise. I really hope Charlotte Wells gets more opportunities to make more films, and looking forward to whatever she does next. Having a best actor nomination will help a bit (even if it's not a director/production nom).Paul Calverthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11748440093206090195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-77843897379975969152023-01-11T07:19:10.918-06:002023-01-11T07:19:10.918-06:00I feel the same about The Batman?

I'll be sure to check it out, thanks. The Northman is one of my favourites of the year, but it feels like so long ago. I could have sworn it was last year. I also thought the Dune was this year. The Green Knight would have been on my list last year, but I didn't see it until months later at home.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing!<br /><br />Paul Calverthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11748440093206090195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-13559048314641905432023-01-10T21:30:59.557-06:002023-01-10T21:30:59.557-06:00I really need to see Decision to Leave again befor...I really need to see Decision to Leave again before making a list. Atypically for me, I ended up seeing it on a whim on my way home after consuming a couple drinks and smoking a bit. Seemed like a good idea at the moment (I was looking forward to it, and thrilled it was playing at the indie theatre down the street from me), but as I sat down and it started, I remembered it was subtitled, and I was not in the state of mind for a subtitled movie. <br /><br />I had a bit of trouble following some of it, but really enjoyed it nevertheless. I was constantly getting drawn into the camera work and directorial flourishes, but then realising that I hadn't been reading the subtitles for the past minute.<br /><br />So yeah, I need to see it again.
