watched this last week and was blown away by linda manz. not only a fantastic teen performance (rare) but a shock of a performance period. she's fiery and tender despite herself. great voice. woulda changed my life to see this at 13. worth watching just for her but also for this one scene, won't spoil, with dennis hopper & a bottle of whiskey that is maybe one of my favorite things i've seen in a film.

“The piano“ by jane campion

watched around the time Campion’s “Power of the Dog” was getting Oscar buzz and been thinking about diving back in (which is rare for me). Pretty bonkers concept and also is proof that Harvey Keitel is sexy at any age

THE EFFECT OF GAMMA RAYS ON MAN-IN-THE-MOON MARIGOLDS - 1974

this was so excellent, i had never heard of it before i saw it was up at the filmoteca on a random night when i had no plans, didn't even know paul newman had directed films.. heartbreaking and funny and so real and so 70s. great cinematography, great script with lots to chew on and great acting.. joanne woodward really knocks it out of the park and lays the foundation for gena rowlands to drive it home two years later in woman under the influence
memorable quote: there comes a time in everyone's life where a little voice comes and says... "buy a wig"
attached: fun polish poster for the film i found online

THE RED SHOES

I'd been hearing about THE RED SHOES for years and never got round to watching it - the picture of Moira Shearer staring, wild-eyed, and so intense, at the camera was captivating and it was always on my radar for that reason. Finally, towards the end of last year, I watched it, and JESUS. It is without doubt one of the best films I have ever seen. Despite being shot in the 40s, it feels so contemporary - the colour, the camera movement - and you can feel its DNA all over so many of the films that came after it. It's also the reason Martin Scorsese wanted to be a filmmaker - he was obsessed by it as a nine year old; it's why he uses red so much. It is, unquestionably, required viewing. It also really disturbs the idea that British cinema is all kitchen sink realism. I love the vision, the ambition. As a British filmmaker myself, I love that this makes me feel seen in our cinematic history.
