Last movie seen in a film theatre: The Hunt, back in March
Last picture show seen on Usa soil: Antonia'southward Line
Commencement movie seen on UK soil: Brand Upwards
Every bit always, bold = five stars or about so, (r) = a rewatch, all others seen for the outset time.
Highlights of Women-directed FilmsFast Color (dir. Julia Hart)
Lo-fi dystopian sci-fi. At the cease a bright image of Lorraine Toussaint facing down a dozen white cops, even more resonant now.
Olivia (Jacqueline Audry) and Madchen in Uniform (Leontine Sagan)
Two films set in girls boarding schools, from 1951 and 1931, and attendant slow burn lesbian passions.
The Cave of the Yellow Domestic dog (Byambasuren Davaa)
Nigh a nomadic Mongolian family whose young daughter adopts a wild dog, is not allowed to keep it, keeps it anyway. Wonderful.
4 by Agnes Varda: Cleo from 5 to 7, 50'Opera Mouffe (a short film), Le Bonheur, La Pointe Courte
Le Bonheur was the mindblower here. Never has a film been and then devastating by pulling its punches. A uncomplicated, sunny (ha) story of a happy marriage and what happens to it. By never commenting on what is happening, it becomes maddening in its fascination. Practically a horror film past inference. I'll never picket it again, but genius, Agnes.
The Juniper Tree (Nietzchka Keene)
Icelandic folk tale, on the dark and grim side. Costarring Bjork!
Meshes of the Afternoon (Maya Deren)
A brilliant surreal short film. xiv minutes very much worth investing.
XXY (Lucia Puenzo)
Argentine motion picture nearly an intersex teenage daughter. Splendid, highly recommended.
The Adventures of Prince Achmed (Lotte Reiniger)
Trippy 1926 animated moving picture.
Rafiki (Wanuri Kahiu)
Kenyan lesbian drama.
Danzon (Maria Novaro)
Mexican film about a adult female looking for her missing dance partner. Watched on election nighttime, a much needed temporary escape.
Wanda (Barbara Loden)
Unsung 1970 film showing that women could practise bleak American stories too as the guys. Fits right in with the likes of 5 Easy Pieces.
Tigers Are Not Afraid (Issa Lopez)
A brilliant Mexican motion picture meshing dare violence, fairy tales, and homeless children. Betwixt this and The Untamed, there is some great trippy movie theatre coming out of United mexican states recently.
Beau Travail (Claire Denis)
The fourth and best film of Denis that I've seen. Very loose adaptation of Billy Budd, only actually not much happens, nonetheless every frame is riveting.
The Watermelon Woman (Cheryl Dunye)
Very funny lesbian mockumentary.
10 to xi (Pelin Esmer)
Turkish film about a curmudgeonly collector.
Antonia's Line (Marleen Gorris)
1995 Dutch motion-picture show that won Academy Award as best foreign film, and a large hit in the video store where I used to work. A feminist generational epic, pretty not bad throughout.
Make Up (Claire Oakley)
Strange psychological drama gear up in Cornwall, flawed simply interesting.
The Story of Adele H.
I liked this, in fact probably more than whatever other Truffaut I've seen, simply it also confirms that in general I just don't get on with Francois. I've seen six of his. This one: baroque truthful story of obsessive love, very proficient. The 400 Blows: adept, not a masterpiece. The Helpmate Wore Black: good, simply an actual Hitchcock is better than an homage. Fahrenheit 451: I liked it equally a teenager, mostly forgotten it now. Jules & Jim: hated. The Woman Adjacent Door: ridiculous melodrama. I think I'm calling it a day with FT.
Hour of the Wolf
Bergman's horror motion picture, sort of. Very practiced but he sets the bar and then loftier. The Bergman films I've seen, in crude order of preference:
Through a Drinking glass Darkly
The 7th Seal
The Virgin Jump
Summer with Monika
Cries and Whispers
Fanny and Alexander
Wild Strawberries
Winter Light
Autumn Sonata
Hour of the Wolf
Shame
Persona
The Silence
Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story
The every bit sad and inspiring story of the Hollywood star regarded in her day as existence the almost beautiful e'er, who happened to be a brilliant scientist too, and how the earth failed to cope with that. An unbelievable story except that information technology's true. I besides realized I had never seen whatsoever Hedy Lamarr movie, so I did.
Experiment Perilous
A decent, sort of gothic, sort of Gaslight motion-picture show, alas though Lamarr's character remains mostly helpless and passive.
Lynn + Lucy and Muddied God
Both well made just dear lord are they misery fests.
Wasp
I liked this much better, a brusk film (26 minutes) by Andrea Arnold.
Shutter
I haven't seen many of the Asia horror boom of the early 2000s, but this Thai film is excellent, scary and poignant and with a knockout ending.
Martin
George Romero of course made stone classic zombie flicks (Night of/ Dawn of/ State of the Dead) but his other work is very hit and miss. Martin is a non-supernatural vampire moving picture, great concept, but information technology's awful. Deathly deadening pacing + terrible acting. Avoid.
The Transfiguration
And this is a loose remake of Martin, and information technology's cracking. An improvement in every attribute. See this instead, it's what a John Sayles horror movie might exist similar.
The Howling (r)
Island of Lost Souls (r)
Torment
Swedish melodrama written (not directed) past Bergman.
I Vitelloni
Early Fellini, a precursor to Amarcord.
Daisies
Anarchic bizarro plotless Czech film, not even certain what to say about it.
Lacombe, Lucien
Louis Malle film most French collaboration with Nazis, very good.
The Firm is Blackness
Short film about a leper colony in Iran.
Pather Panchali
Satyahit Ray's film about an impoverished family, long and episodic simply somewhen pulls you in. Impressive that it was his start film.
Stroszek
Werner Herzog film well-nigh German language misfits who relocate to Wisconsin. It's very Herzogian.
Mouchette
Robert Bresson film about a luckless much-abused daughter. I loved Au Hasard Balthazar but this one seemed to accept little point other than life is miserable and people suck.
On the Beach Solitary at Dark
The Last Wave (r)
Girl of Shanghai
Anna May Wong was a rare Chinese actress working in 1930s Hollywood, after seeing Shanghai Express I wanted to discover something else she was in. She is really the star of this 1937 drama, and she'south good and and so is the film. Merely over an hour, a solid 7 out of 10.
The Last Waltz
Scorsese's documentary about the last concert of The Band. Great film, great lineup of artists, merely I take to say, the one song past Van Morrison... I'm non a particular fan and never saw him perform live, and wow, he is the antonym of charisma. Looked like a middle-aged banker doing karaoke.
Possessor
Brand new film past the son of David Cronenberg, cracking premise (a hitwoman who tin can possess another'southward body to carry out hits) but chilly and distant in the extreme and the gore is so off the scale that it becomes ridiculous.
Brimstone
A western almost a luckless woman stalked from town to town by a preacher. Well made I guess only so depressing in its implacable misery that I kind of wish I hadn't bothered.
Who'll Stop the Rain (r)
Forgotten 1978 picture version of the book Dog Soldiers; good book, the movie might exist a slight improvement. Hard-bitten story of the disillusionment of the Vietnam era.
The Train (r)
Not sure why this isn't ameliorate known, a bully WWII film from 1964 about resistance fighters trying to stop Nazis at the end of the war from looting fine art in a French museum back to Federal republic of germany.
Coherence
Neat sci-fi mindbender well-nigh a comet and possible alternate dimensions. Would make a great bad dinner political party double bill with The Invitation.
Mangrove; Lovers Stone; Cerise, White and Blue
Nosotros're making our manner thru Steve McQueen's Small Axe films. The first two are particularly skillful.
The Dark My Number Came Up
1955 British moving picture that I'd never heard of, a Twilight Zone-ish story of a man who dreams of a airplane crash and people on a aeroplane wondering if it's a premonition. A genuine sleeper.
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me
Not sure why I bothered, as I'yard a Twin Peaks agnostic, and for that thing a David Lynch doubter. Anyway this is terrible, and wow, '90s era misogyny has not aged well. Also, every bit an thespian, Chris Isaak is a not bad vocaliser.
The Silence of the Lambs (r)
3 1/ii Minutes 10 Bullets (very good documentary about a white-on-black shooting)
What We Left Backside: Star Trek Deep Infinite 9
It's Not That Simple
She Dies Tomorrow
Losing Basis
The Killers (1964 remake, non equally good as original)
Pitfall
Possessed
Hawking
Portrait of a Lady on Burn, seen in February.
Percent of films seen directed past women: 36% (41 of 114).

This would be a fun guide to flip through while waiting for your significant other to buy something for their mom'south birthday at Edge'southward, but it's definitely not a must-own. It'southward basically a huge book version of the little notes that employees put next to their movies on the "Staff Picks" shelf. Funny to glance at, just not terribly insightful or helpful. They be so you'll inquire them at the registers who wrote those funny notes, and whoever did information technology can sheepishly admit to being hilarious, scratch their new tattoo, and offer their begrudging, embarrassed, and secretly overjoyed cheers. One of those books that was probably more fun to write than it is to read, simply they do pull off a good one-liner or two, and it's always fun to read a well-thought-out dissenting stance on a universally beloved moving-picture show, a pastime conspicuously relished by the hipsters involved. In summation, "The Boondock Saints" sucks miserably unwashed ass. Thank you for your time.
