nowhere - gregg araki. maybe the greatest film to have ever been conceived. ive talked about him on here before but araki is a true auteur and really had his finger on the pulse with this one (and the rest of his teen apocalypse trilogy) in a way ive not seen anyone replicate. came out in ’97 and still informs so much of whats being created and released today. this was on sam levinsons moodboard in the conception stage of the shit show that was euphoria. if uve been sleeping on him nows the time to wake up - he just casted charli xcx in his next feature.
my own private idaho - gus van sant. more new queer cinema. totally devastating, the first time i watched this i stayed up the entire night afterwards. i couldnt sleep a wink. was just totally haunted. there will never be another soul like river phoenix </3
le diable probablement - robert bresson. peak french existentialism. the first entry in my own personal just like me fr canon. wont say too much but watch it watch it watch it if you u havent already. came out in ‘77 and hasnt aged at all (i mean it!).
chungking express - wong kar wai. a moment of self recognition thru the other. the frequency with which faye wongs character plays california dreaming mirrors in its entirety my own extremely irritating music habits.

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind.
(this has been my favorite movie since I first watched it at 14 and I really doubt it will ever change. I just popped in the dvd to watch the director/writer commentary and other special features yesterday.)
Zola.
(I’ve seen Janicza Bravo do Q&As about Zola live twice which is probably two more times that the average person.)
Springbreakers.
Fallen Angels.
Ingrid Goes West.
The Royal Tenenbaums.
68 Kill.
Poor Things.
(I did not see enough movies last year, but I saw this one which is great because it was made for me specifically)
Are you sensing a theme in these films….

so much to talk about, the sunglasses, the scarf, the fresh baguette and coffee, the always lovely cafe setting. I think this is the most swag ever captured on camera I aspire to be at this level
