Reposted by Cinema Strikes BackGaijin Rando @gaijinrando.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Quality SHINING knockoff. As with all good knockoffs, GHOSTKEEPER borrows freely from the original but also veers off in its own funky direction. In this case, a story about writer's block and freaky bear costumes is transformed into a folk horror tale of female empowerment and ancient evil spirits 3253

Cinema Strikes Back @cinemastrikesback.bsky.social · 24/09/2026By the way, I dug that instead of a 22yo scream queen in this they went with the equivalent of Dennis Weaver, Yuko Natori was in her mid-thirties and at an age where she looked like she’d seen some shit, her initial reaction to the stalking and being hit on constantly is just … exhaustion. 0150
Reposted by Cinema Strikes BackJayce @jayceb.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I’ve made Ulrike Ottinger’s acquaintance and I’m a little head over heels. Ticket of No Return (1979), while inseparable from West Bloc queer counterculture (and therefore existing, or resisting, Fassbinderisms), drifts like a Rivette and Tati slow dance costumed by Demy. Completely in love. 3239
Cinema Strikes Back @cinemastrikesback.bsky.social · 24/09/2026#Watched Stranger (1991) - another banger. Unpredictable cold open leads into a low key character piece/thriller with cabbie Yuko Natori as a cab driver being Duel-stalked through the streets of Tokyo. Great Michael Mann-esque atmosphere and neon, and a terrific synth score from Yuji Ohno. 1160
