Dostoevsky in New York City. Raw, hopeless, not a word wasted. Really a tight screenplay. It clearly influenced Uncut Gems but it's gloomier and with a more courageous ending. What a movie.

If there is such a thing as The Great Chinese Novel, this film would certainly embody that. Leslie Cheung and Gong Li give two of most powerful and yet vulnerable I have ever seen

Udo Kier - cinema’s fallen angel and an embodiment of the screen’s delicious power to corrupt - is gone. "I would live like the hero of Huysman's A Rebours,” he once told me. “Have no clocks, and hire two nuns to go by my window and pray at 12 o'clock each day."

With his mumbling in this one and the voice over narration in Barry Lyndon, Michael Hordern's got to have one of the most iconic voices in all of cinema
Watching the 1968 adaptation of M.R. James’s “Whistle and I’ll Cone To You,” and, while this is an odd thing to praise, in addition to being terrifically eerie, it it has some of the best “solitary pompous old man” acting and writing I’ve ever seen.

Since I made up in my mind that PTA cut the Las Vegas section from Inherent Vice because he had already been there with Hard Eights, now I'm gonna be expecting that one of his next movies will be a japanese Yakuza/sci-fi flick to make up from the Japan section he cut from Vineland!

The Third Part of the Night (1971): In the first 15 minutes, 5 people, including a child, are murdered in violent and graphic manner, a doppelganger appears and we see a woman give birth for real

We should rivisit Louis Malle’s work more. I watched
Au revoir les enfants recently which is a heartbreakingly beautiful film. In hands of a lesser director it would've been a typical oscar bait, in his it's a nuanced exploration of a bunch of young boys coming age amid horrific circumstances

It's actually crazy to think that if Nakadai had retired at 30 after Harakiri, with that film and The Human Condition Trilogy under his belt he would've been already one of the greatest of all time. Fortunately tho he gifted us with many more indellible performances. R.I.P King

My head is full of bees as it tends to be and so I'm watching František Vláčil's Marketa Lazarová (1967) for the fifth time in as many days. I want to disappear into it. It's a headwaters for On a Silver Globe and Hard to be a God, both - an image of depravation and filth so sublimely beautiful.
