Aki Kaurismäki

this finnish fool gets it. if you like early jim jarmusch or win wenders this is next up in your cue. all of his 80s films are perfect. dry comedy, sad, romantic, slow, good music, relatable themes, meandering and mystical. what’s especially cool about him is that he mainly works with the same cinematographer and shoots only on film. so the movies he made in the 2000s feel and look the same as his early works. i love all his movies but i’d highly recommend starting with: - SHADOWS IN PARADISE - ARIEL - THE MATCH FACTORY GIRL - LIGHTS IN THE DUSK - LENINGRAD COWBOYS GO AMERICA

Jim Jarmusch

Its a toss up between Paterson and Only Lovers Left alive for favourite of his films. They both display romantic love in such a rare and moving way. Most of my fav movies are by directors who haven’t really made enough films yet to be solid favourites (mostly because they aren’t white men who’ve been given all the opportunities), but directors who are getting there for me are Boots Riley, Emerald Fennel, Cathy Yan.

The Royal Tenenbaums and the life aquatic with steve zissou

rewatched these recently and they’re so great. Touching and funny and really striking sets/shots. Reminded me of how good Wes Anderson is beyond all the memes. I know people clown on some of his tendencies as a director but the guy knows how to make a fuckin movie.

Living next to a culinary school

The students are always doing pop-ups and every semester the school has them develop their own menus to run campus restaurants. The food is full of passion, the prices are cheap, and the service is always filled with gratitude that you even showed up.
