Café de Flore

From beginning to end, it keeps you entranced in the lives of others and their (in)ability to connect and understand each other. The film reveals itself slowly and patiently. Beautiful cinematography and fantastic talent. Highly recommended!

The music is flawless. Just brilliant. But I can't say that the television production does it justice. Doesn't age well.

When the Sea Rises

Moreau is such a fascinating talent. She maintains a certain amount of restraint in this film, forming a portrait of a weary weirdo performer in a constant state of fatigue. Still, she is radiant in her unique way, with fiery red hair on bright green rags. Willaert, the man-child, recognizes this glow and seduces her with tenderness and enthusiasm. Undeniably whimsical yet bittersweet. Certainly recommended! ★★★★

Carnage

Yasmina Reza's claustrophobic play is great. It was our season opener at the theatre I work at. The mounting tension and alcohol/puke-soaked misanthropic rants are so satisfying. Reminds me a bit of Sartre's Huis Clos. And let me tell you, I LOVED seeing these four all-stars losing their shit. At the same time, I didn't find the film nearly as compelling as the theatrical performance. ★★★★

Wild Reeds

Les Roseaux sauvages snuck up on me. This is a beautifully-shot portrait of young people at the dawn of their sexuality while their world is complicated by politics. Bouchez and Morel play two of the most likable and innocent characters I've seen in a while. The final scenes are simply a dream. ★★★★

Could someone wake up Paul Dano and let him know that he's starring in a movie? Thanks. ★★

Golly, gee, damn! ★★★★

Breakfast at Tiffany's

Jarmusch's best. Very slow, beautiful and quiet... it works so well. Not surprising to know that Christopher Doyle was the director of photography on this one. Bankolé is brilliant. I loved seeing my favourite actors (Tilda Swinton, Bill Murray, Hiam Abbass) in such interesting roles. I wonder if Paz de la Huerta (great body, horrible acting) will ever put her clothes back on at some point in her career... ★★★★

Lucifer Rising

A seminal work. I actually was more attracted to Beausoleil's soundtrack than anything else. And Marianne, sweet Marianne... ★★★★

    Holy hell, I just read that Beausoleil was a murderer associated with Manson. Eek.

    The Mansons, the OTO, and the Process Church had close ties with one another in the desert during the 60s and 70's.

An intimate and philosophical look at the heartbreaking downfall of a woman. Anna is flawless. Godard, genius. ★★★★★

Quite good, but I feel as though I would have enjoyed it more if I read The Possessed first... ★★★

What is it about European travel that makes Liam Neeson want to fight so much? We get it, he's intense. Duly noted. Also, January Jones, your acting is atrocious.

Xavier Dolan

What a fascinating new director. It's great to see someone my age accomplish so much in such little time. It's because of people like Xavier that I'm hopeful about the future of cinema. His films are imperfect but beautiful and personal. I seriously admire the guy, even if he does seem like a brat at times.

A bit too precious for me, but I liked it! The Giving Tree with hipster robots. ★★★

Damnation

This film decays before our eyes in the most beautiful way, with endless rain and mud. I was enticed by the inclusion of a torch singer, my kryptonite. Still, I wish I liked this movie more than I did. I found myself disconnected and bored by the characters. The way the main character was treated and the way he mindlessly loved that terrible woman was quite frustrating. A solid film, but not a favourite. ★★★

A beautiful, slow and very personal film for me. Anna's physical and emotional drift makes me ask questions about my own life. A very subtle and interesting look at character. ★★★★

Les rendez-vous d’Anna

I had a silly grin on my face the entire time I watched this movie. Quite hilarious! ★★★★
