The Crimson Kimono, 1959 - ★★★½
January 20, 2025
Tightly wound melodrama/noir about jealousy. It’s Fuller, so he found a way to address racism as well, but the twin plots of the film — the melodrama and the crime — hinge on the nature of jealousy and the lengths it leads to.It’s really well constructed. The two strands don’t come together until the very […]
Show Me Love, 1998 - ★★★★

And lo, we begin Boofest 2025 with the last movie in Arrow’s Moodysson set. He had his sensibility from day one: that clear-eyed empathy and the genuine love for his flawed, imperfect subjects. Elin is an awful person for most of the movie; there’s so many clear reasons for her teenage storm of emotions that the […]
Blood Tea and Red String, 2006 - ★★★★

Probably better not to watch this on the far side of transatlantic jet lag. It’s all good, I found it really easy to just slip into the surrealist, meticulous stop motion vibe. The symbolism carries you if you let it. And the phenomenal technique.
Lifeforce, 1985 - ★★★

Holds up perfectly well to my recollections. Surreal, playing with identity and paranoia with deftness. Tobe Hooper’s sense of foreboding is strong. It’s for everyone who’s ever wondered who they really are at heart. Also somehow finds time to tack on a grim zombie/vampire infested London.
Civil War, 2024 - ★★★
January 19, 2025
The story about journalism and burnout is interesting — unsurprisingly, when you anchor a theme around Kirsten Dunst, it tends to work well. Her weariness is completely believable. I don’t think we needed the US Civil War setting to bring it home. If anything, that’s distracting; Garland throws in all the signifiers of a Trump Presidency […]
