#nowwatching It is back on a streaming platform — my second time to purchase it. While I own the DVD, I wish someone would produce a collectors version. A magnificent film. The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover (1989) #filmsky

#nowwatching Dekalog (1989-1990) I had major FOMO seeing so many of y’all posting about this film experience. I made a late night purchase and now I’m set for the weekend. #filmsky @criterion.bsky.social

This week’s theme: people on a fucking mission! 🎞️ Poignant and wonderful and sad and brutal. 🎞️ Performances by Jessica Lange and Kim Stanley were worth it. 🎞️ Not a great film, but I enjoyed it. 🎞️ I could watch this one on mute and appreciate it. #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched #filmsky

🎞️ It’s gross, it’s gooey, it’s greasy — I enjoyed it way too much. 🎞️ Visually alluring and sexy. Multiple nods to a favorite film - Sunset Blvd. 🎞️ Evil doesn't arrive banging on pots and pans. 🎞️ Tony’s problem, he has no sense of humor. #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched #filmsky

#letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched #filmsky 🎞️ A shero gunning down misogyny in NYC 🎞️ Based on catering to the privileged and uncompromising sales tactics, this department store was a beacon for the bourgeois of Big D 🎞️ The house alone is worth the watch 🎞️ There is a bit of All About Eve in this one

Miserably awesome week. 🎞️ Bleak, sexy, tragic, and strangely empowering. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🎞️ A sepia nightmare where everyone looks like they have not slept in years. 🎞️ Postwar privilege and denial. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🎞️ Convincingly real, hard to believe it isn’t. #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched #filmsky

🎞️ Narcissism leads to other people’s tragedy. 🎞️ An incredible documentary — personal, painful, precise. 🎞️ New to This Is England, but I'm completely hooked. 🎞️ Worth the watch if you like feeling terrified and brutalized. #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched #filmsky

Taking a week off work and, naturally, decided to spend it with the most savage and psychologically damaging films and series. Starting with this one. @kransekage.bsky.social So much for “lightening it up.” I had good intentions for a few minutes 😬

🎞️ Bertolucci creates a beautiful film no matter how insidious. 🎞️ An unlikely pair and Death Metal save the world on Christmas Eve. 🎞️ Everything is beautiful in Italy, even with a serial killer. 🎞️ An early 70s time capsule of L.A. and Hollywood. #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched #filmsky

Took a few days off from work, so I’m piling on the films. So far, I’ve been Chabroled, Coled, Greenawayed, and Wilded — and I’m still alive. The next four may take me out 😱 Great performances: Elmer Bäck, Brenda Blethyn, Michel Bouquet, Olivia Wilde #lastfourwatched #filmsky

#NowWatching Saving Grace (2000) #filmsky 🎞️ Taking a break from Claude Chabrol. My nerves are shot. I can spot a Nigel Cole film a mile away. Casting Brenda Blethyn always makes my trigger finger hit play. I like that Cole puts proper peeps into improper situations and they still come out on top.

🎞️ Par for the Haneke course — always great, never comforting. 🎞️ An absolutely stunning film — poignant and gentle. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🎞️ Set in an idyllic French provincial town, but wait something wicked this way comes. 🎞️ A good surprise. 80’s to the max. #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched #filmsky

Horror sequels gone bad and Witchboard — but I had fun watching them. 🎞️ Even Patty Duke couldn’t save us from the evil lamp. 🎞️ Corny, campy, cheesy fun. Not too shabby. 🎞️ ⭐️ 1/2 — Added the half star for the cast. 🎞️ Shark Week 🦈 #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched #filmsky
