9/10

What a film. Man im really grateful for this site and the amount of dope stuff id never would’ve stumbled onto

Past 12 months has been great for my cinena growth. Im only 20 so by just that there’s a lot of stuff i dnt know even being a cinephile since age 15. But now visiting a movie like this that’s 30 years old you realize we always dumb down the past. Like past generations were as creative and humanist and complex as us.

As Im watching this movie with its crazy ass cinematography i realize where the director’s of today get their references from. Nothing comes from a vacuum.

Rewatched Interstellar and Inception, both on film, at IMAX. Definitely made it way crazier and highly recommend. Hope they reshow the dark knight there.

Watching BR2049 at imax on sunday

@DELON Surprised you haven't watched Mr. Klein yet (dir. by Joseph Losey).

Just watched it earlier this morning cause im going through a handful of Losey films I havent seen yet. Loved it. It's on crit chan too btw

Edit: Nvm i just saw that you've logged it already lol im blind

yeah i’ve peeped it my name change on lb might’ve confused you

in my top 5 delon films for me. criterion is planning on releasing it on blu ray as well. hope its announced soon

Oh dam i didnt know they were planning to release it

Losey's catalogue is a strange on when it comes to physical releases tbh. Ive slowly been collecting his films on blu, and its funny because a ton of his stuff has nice blu releases — even a lot of his films that barely anyone has seen.

Like 99% of the time when a director has a couple dozen or so films in their library that are virtually nonexistent in public talk (even among cinephiles), it's highly unlikely they'll have even a couple of them (if any) on dvd, much less blu-ray.

But Losey has a ton of films on blu-ray, even a few that have like less than 250 logs on LB

Wish more of my fave filmmakers got this kind of treatment

9/10

Just watched the first Avengers film. 9/10. First time watching. Having a Marvel binge atm watching all in timeline order.

Just checked it, and I find it very surprising. Losey underappreciated director?

I'd say so. He's got a lotta really great stuff.

Only watched Monsieur Klein, but I'll feast in.

the servant a damn masterpiece with king dirk bogarde

need to see king and country by losey which also stars bogarde

i also think he's underappreciated along with basil dearden as far as english film directors go (losey was an american but he worked in england mostly i guess)

*French and British

pretty much all are brit productions bar a few and if you exclude the films he made in america before the HUAC s***ted on him

7.5/10

MC was kind of a beta cuck but it was a pretty nice movie in a college setting which I don’t see very often

Also really great performances
