Thoughts: It's been 50 years and portuguese movies are still so artsy. The visuals were stunning, really and the story as well. It's a gorgeous family story and I really liked it. But it really isn't a movie - it's a voiceover story. Which can leave a bit to be desired. Scenes later in the movie still really stuck with me.

Thoughts: The passengerrrrr. Very fun!!! I loved it. I personally saw it as an older guy trying to avoid that the younger one becomes like him. Codependency style. There's very little told about Benson but that's the vibe i got.

Thoughts: It's a B-Movie alright. But the setting, mood and story is still very nice. I loved all of the design in this movie. A lot of different outside factors culminated in this movie being the cultural touchstone that it is, but in itself it is still a moving story about making sense out of senselessness.

Thoughts: Good lord what a mess. I'm not a cinematography girl so i didn't even catch that it was all filmed in one take. That's impressive but i care more about the story which was so goofy. Two men having a party as to officiate their (wedding) first kill and the school best friend who has renounced his ways. Huh...

Thoughts: Big fan of normal people going insane. I didn't exactly capture a moral of the story but if tere's one i dont think it's a linear one. Not so much a girlboss as i've seen described but about the fears religion can instill in you and what that can do to family structures.

Thoughts: I think I see the vision, and it's a very interesting one. Set in a year where disillusionment towards the 1974 revolution grows, the film accompanies a couple - an actress and a director - discussing the days leading up to the murder of the director's brother. The movie intertwines real life scenes of the character's lives with scenes of the play the director was filming, O Bobo, which is a retelling the story leading up to Portugal's independence in 1143. The brother died on set after a failed illegal trade of arms belonging to a far-left party from which the brother defected. I found the story very interesting and the writing actually pretty decent. There is a lot of tension and mirroring in the themes portrayed. The cinematography and general aesthetic was quite charming. But it requires a lot of intertextual knowledge, that I don't posess entirely, to really get the scope of the movie. Also Variações cameo hello.

Thoughts: Big fan of folk traditions and masks. I was not expecting a musical though kdsjk. I loved the soundtrack. There is for sure some sort of dialogue between Christianity and Cult Paganism, I'm not sure wich, or if it really matters. I personally see it as Christianity, despite scrambling itself to stand on some sort of authority, failing laughably to do any actual good to any kind of society - in a 'we are all bad' kind of way - and actually falling for tricks like any other. Which is i think obviously portrayed on that one monologue Summerisle has, plus the bug tied to the nail (which can also be foreshadowing). I don't think that was an original thought even then but it gives for a nice premise and a neat movie. Some of the shots were odd, but the plot twist was entetaining and i still overall liked it :). Yay Scottish people. Did I tell you yet I love folk traditions?

Thoughts: This movie was cute - and kind of bypassed the ethical questions around the Hospital Vampire that I sometimes have. It's nothing new by any means, and i kind of think it was inspired by A Girl Walks Home Alone and also Let The Right One In. I haven't sat down to watch those though!, so i can't really tell if this brings anything new to the table. Still, I always love the vampire who is eager to be turned, out of love. I think it was just cute, happy ending yayy.

Thoughts: Almost a fever dream sometimes, but I've also seen some awesome discussions of the themes in this movie, particularly pertaining to masculinity and patriarchy as the vampire. It's got beautiful shots and wardrobe. I loved the puppet it's something i hadn't seen in a long time... he fucked the puppet... Love me some rural horror setting amen
