    Films that we’re obsessed with and could talk/think about forever. One film for me would be No Country For Old Men. There’s so many layers and I love the atmosphere, cinematography, performances and themes

    Yeah it’s intense and moody. You gotta be in the mood to watch a kinda slow moving modern western movie but it’s worth it, there’s some edge of your seat moments in there

    I love reading thriller-mystery books so I'm kinda used to the slow eerie build-up atmosphere aesthetic

    • Baxter, Vera Baxter

    directed by one of my fav authors, the atmosphere and sound design of this film is beyond nuts. I wish I could watch it for the first again.

    • Raise the Red Lantern

    taught me a lot about the marriage customs in China and it's a female perspective like no other in cinema

    • Long Day’s Journey Into Night

    Captures the dream-like state in films so wonderfully

    • Ran

    Shakespeare and Samurais, that's a twist I never expected to see executed so well.

    • La Belle Noiseuse

    Despite being 238 mins long, I couldn't take my eyes off this one. Best way to watch paint dry xD

    yeah that’s the cop. Tbf that’s the only super explicit kill in the whole movie, the rest is splatters of blood. That opening kill was to establish how wild he was in the most blunt way possible. So you should be able to handle the rest after that

    Still haven’t seen bling ring yet crazy I know. Neon Demon is chilling af (I only watched bc the last girl I talked to looked like Elle Fanning and she was into the movie lol)

  • Aug 9, 2020

    Baby Driver.

    Not sure what it is but I get sucked in every time I watch. High stakes, creative use of music, romance, etc

    Both Sofia Coppola and Nicolas Winding Refn outside of their one film that most agree is great (Lost in Translation and Drive) are pretty divisive directors. The two films share a lot of similarities and I honestly like them for a lot of the same reasons too. Setting is LA, viewed as "style over substance", etc...

    Bling Ring uses a lot of shots that aren't super up close and personal which if it wasn't that way would probably lessen the value of what I feel like the message is. A bunch of LA teenagers robbing celebrities and flexing is by the nature of its real life events "vapid", but it's clear—especially in retrospect—that the movie isn't really promoting the lifestyle of its characters. That along with the iconic lines (I Wanna Rob !!!), great soundtrack, and Coppola's incorporation of making these dreamlike atmospheres out of anywhere just click for me. I knew back when I saw the trailer when it was getting teased that I would like the movie and it just still stands out to me to this day as just something I personally super enjoy. Definitely deserves its semi-cult status by some Twitter peeps lol

    Neon Demon on the other hand is something which is dripping in its aesthetic way more than Bling Ring. It's kind of what I expected Drive to look like based on what people had glorified that movie's features for (Synthwave Neon Lights LA you get the gist). Upon first watch, I was kind of underwhelmed by it. Visually it's peak NWR and is one of the best looking films i've ever watched. Message wise... it's really not apparent at first to me especially with the last leg of the film where the plot choice seemed more as for shock value than to convey anything at all. Despite this, the movie has really stuck with me as I appreciate a lot of the kind of obviously narcissistic things because of course Neon Demon in a sense is a Black Comedy. I do wanna say some of its criticisms are fair. The writing comes off REALLY underbaked first watch, but I also wouldn't want it any other way cause if it was at the same intensity of the visuals than it'd probably be overkill. And yeah Elle motivated me to watch the film. I claim <333

    I think I just have a soft spot for a lot of stuff that portrays Los Angeles because from an outside perspective most are gonna think that it's exaggerated when in reality it's not that far from the truth
