Truman Capote is an eccentric millionaire who invites the world’s greatest detectives to his house to solve a mysterious murder. It’s a parody of old detectives like Sam Spade, the Thin Man, Mrs Marple and, unfortunately, Peter Sellers as a Charlie Chan character. You don’t have to be familiar with the original movies for it to be funny, but it will help if you watch with a fun friend.

The first/pilot episode of Columbo is an absolute masterpiece of the genre, a perfect slice of 60s LA, with beautifully engineered plot twists, an incredibly avant-grade soundscape and cracking last 30minutes. Columbo oddly handsome and charming too. A strong rec for mystery lovers

a detective investigates a string of murders where all the victims are killed the same way-but each by different killers. it’s a fascinating look into the idea of the individual vs. society, the breaking point of “good people”, and a frightening reassurance that you can never truly know another person. Expert framing, great outfits, and solid plot, I haven’t stopped thinking about it since I watched it on criterion channel earlier this week.

The occupation persists, the oppression persists, the torture persists. The occupiers are psychotic and their work is never finished. People who’ve paid attention won’t be surprised by this photo from Gaza.
