About Me

Editor of Film Monitor from Houston, Texas. We are in print first and foremost, but we also have a supplementary website, www.filmmonitor.org

Ozu is my favorite.

Hitchcock is my guilty displeasure.

Pieta

Because a sociopath is supposed to have some life-changing epiphany after raping someone he thought was his mother? I may call it a poor man's OLD BOY if I'm feeling generous.

Liking Hitchcock is nothing to be ashamed of....he shouldn't be your guilty pleasure...Yell it to the world "I LOVE HITCHCOCK!"

    Not that I don't like his films, but I feel like I don't like them as much as everyone else does.

I just watched _Flunky, Work Hard_, and had the similar reaction to your own. I have yet to watch the rest of the set, but was wondering if the experimentation continued.

    The editing style chills quite a bit afterwards, but the rest still ignores conventions like the 180-degree rule. The camera goes a little over the top with the the whole closing-in and pulling-out schtick in the middle of the series.
