The posh kids are being awful now so I’m happier.

I enjoyed it. Was quite worried that the corgi might get injured.

Le Parc. Really weird film in that nothing happens (theres like a ten minute scene just involvinf texts) but its oddly engrossing. First half is a young couple on a date in the park, second half turns a whole different direction.seen it described as Before Sunrise directed by yer man who did Uncle Boonme which kinda fits. Its on Mubi and only 70 minutes

Moonlight
(bit of a gap)
Manchester by the sea
(Huge gap)
Arrival
La La Land
Hell or high water
Fences
Hidden Figures
Hacksaw Ridge
Lion

But yeah as you say I didn’t dislike any of them massively.

The big church fight was exhilarating, other than that the idea that oxbridge boys have been saving the world for decades was nauseating.

A bit like how all the WW2 RAF personnel were supposedly posh when REALLY all the people with regional accents were too busy being dead or actually fighting to act in war films.

Posh people just get to own history all the time.

And Downton etc.

Been tempted to watch knight of cups lately, is it really bad?

Grauniad reckons he’s back with his newun

Nearly everyone else has said it’s pretty awful, just like Knight of Cups. He should have stuck to making films every 10-20 years.

Idgi but might watch knight of cups anyhoo. Couple good reviews have called it an empty film about emptiness. Sounds fine

Hidden Figures. I liked it, but wouldn’t be in a hurry to watch it again.

Bit of a shame how Malick has turned from an unappreciated genius to a cinebore

I love Knight of Cups. I get why some wouldn’t - it is pretty oblique - but works really well for me. It’s not about emptiness per se, so much as not quite catching some elusive beauty/feeling in the world (hard not to write about it without sounding super pretentious). I’d say it’s his most spiritual film but not overtly Christian like Tree of Life. Seen it twice, really unique and impressive. Would recommend paying close attention to the story at the start. I really like his new mode of filmmaking, really idiosyncratic but isn’t nearly as superficial as people suggest - I just think audiences struggle with a lack of narrative (which Song To Song apparently has more of…)
