    Jeez this is a long update, but we got quarantine plus the semester nearing its end for me so..

    The General 7.5

    Incredibly entertaining, but I didn't care for the story and some slapstick aspects like the dumb girlfriend

    Sansho the Bailiff 8

    Odd title, great film - the last shot was breath taking

    Christine 6.5

    great standout performance, movie messed up part of my day, maybe don't look up the background details if you plan to watch though

    Elephant 8.5

    I'm actually very conflicted on this, but give a high score because it made me think a lot. I liked the director's touch, will need to see more by him, probably starting with My Own Private Idaho

    The Thin Blue Line 7

    Only recommended if you're really interested in documentary form, it's pretty dry

    Through the Olive Trees 7.5

    Satisfying culmination to the Koker trilogy, even though none of the films individually rise above the power of the experimental relation they achieve together

    Tropical Malady 8.5

    disorienting, with a second half that feels way too indulgent, but f*** it

    A Man Escaped 7

    underwhelming, but I'll still check more by Bresson, starting with Country Priest. I like his technique, but the story was uninteresting

    The Tenant 8

    Creepy as f***, also Polanski is a surprisingly (?) good actor

    the tenant should've been done in french the dubs sound horrendous tbh

    revisited Man Escaped last night, 7 is about right. Country Priest is a hard 10 so are Sansho and General tbh

    Tenant sucked s*** compared to the rest of Polanskis stuff up to then

    I've been watching Paul Thomas Anderson's earlier work for the first time.

    Boogie Nights, Magnolia and Punch Drunk Love - all get a 7/10.
    Gonna watch Phantom Thread next as it's the only one left.

    it's grosser when you know swedish

    she mixes it with norwegian in later films her accent got way better. don't think it was bad in höstsonaten, cause im fried rn but I think it was the most neutral sounding one

    also she not as gorg as the rest of the bergie babes

    The last fight in the mall is amazing

    honestly liked this much better than I thought I would. I dislike a lot of 80s action comedies. But they really played everything beautifully.

    My reaction to that first scene with the cars going through the houses though
