tonight's watch: uzak (2002) dir. nuri bilge ceylan

a film that is sadly less than the sum of its parts, or at least it was for me

we have masterful acting from our two leads, which rightfully won them awards at cannes (sadly one of which was posthumous)

beautiful isolating cinematography

It's been a while since I've posted about my friend Ahmed, but things in Gaza continue to get harder as food and medicine are still hugely overpriced and heavily restricted. Please help the Shaban family out, if you can chuffed.org/project/1508...
Please help Ahmed and his family get food, drink and medicine.
I am Ahmed Shaaban, a father of four children: Jana, Malek, Lana, Amir, and my wife, Laila. I had a link for evacuation and raised the entire amount. However, the occupation imposed a complete blockad...

tonight's watch: a six hour epic from 1913!!

fantômas dir. louis feuillade

my thoughts on this are similar in a lot of ways to my thoughts on les vampires (1915), also by louis feuillade

this is the worse of the two films though,

in addition to being a masterpiece, this happens to be the first bangladeshi film i've seen

so let's add that for the count

tonight's watch, a real masterpiece

a river called titus (1973) dir. ritwik ghatak

a powerful exploration of a dying community, of female solidarity, of the modernising and bourgeois forces trying to kill the community off

as my first moroccan film, this knocks off another country from my 'world of cinema' project

tonight's watch: trances (1981) dir. ahmed el maanouni

i have only watched one musical in my life, and have never seen a concert film before, so this was a very interesting experience

and its an interesting concert film to start with as the film is almost entirely devoid of structure

reading the works of pierre champion at the moment, who wrote a lot of books in the 1930s and 1940s about the early french wars of religion

and my guy is still fighting the war in these books, he manages to be bigoted against protestantism like, 150 years after it was legalised in france

tonight's watch: barry lyndon

i was really looking forward to this film, anticipating it to rank highly in my opinion

i was disappointed by what i got, a beautiful package, with stunning lensing and composition, wrapped around a story that did not compel,

and god, there's nothing like starting to exercise to make you realise how little control of your body you possess
