À bout de souffle/Breathless (1960). Can’t been a day - 65 years and counting - when Jean Seberg’s Patricia wouldn’t have been the most effortlessly coolest looking cat on the block. Could drop her in any decade.

Seberg (2019). Not a great film but if not aware of Jean Seberg’s support of the Black Panther Party and how she was persecuted by the FBI, it’s worth a watch. Kristen Stewart pretty decent.

La Caja (2021). Mexican kid goes to collect remains of his dad and ends up with a harsh lesson about the brutality of labour in a capitalist society. Really good. Available on MUBI, mis compañeros.
