Now watching for the first time:

good movie

Going to a screening of Oliveira's I'm Going Home 🔥 rarely does one get to see Manoel on 35mm in this city

Céline et Julie vont en bateau - a very screenshottable film, though screenshots of course don't do justice to how joyous it is to see it unfold. Very close to something I would find annoying, but somehow Rivette and co. pull it off. It's wonderfully participatory, and in part about this very nature

While Paris Sleeps

The bar im in is playing 90s and 2000s eurodance hits. Surely this is the most horrid genre of music

Student Prince in Old Heidelberg—a wonderful film. The second half redeems any extent to which the first half might’ve felt saccharine--I hope to some day experience european student life as rendered by lubitsch. I’ll definitely be drinking beer with friends tonight.

Just so gorgeus. Helsinki Philharmonic offers a greatly discounted price for zoomers, so ill see them perform Dvorak 9 next week for just 3,5€!

The best!

Last fm friday

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Unfinished Business, since I dont really rate My Man Godfrey at all

And Letter From an Unkown woman, of course

Best first watches of january:
Love Streams (Cassavetes)
Other Men’s Women (Wellman)
Happy Together (Wong Kar Wai)
The Mouth Agape (Pialat)
Unfinished Business (La Cava)
While Paris Sleeps (Dwan)
Tih Minh (Feuillade)
The French Cancan (Renoir)
So Is This (Snow)

Good month.

Watched Letter from an Unknown Woman for the first time last night. Overwhelmingly beautiful

Starting to think this Ophüls guy had quite an eye for motion pictures

I almost bought a ticket for tonights screening of the Robbie Williams ape movie but i thankfully realized there was a 35mm screening of Love Streams, which turned out to be a new favorite.

Mf loved writing about frank tashlin

Pretty nice find at the used book store

This is like those shots in the beginning of Fantomas films

apparently alfred hitchcock could shoot rope for 8-10 minutes at a time

Also loved: 10 Skies (Benning), Going My Way (McCarey), Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (Tarantino), Lady Windermere's Fan (Lubitsch), India: Matri Bhumi (Rosselini), The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (Wilder), Lancelot du Lac (Bresson), Fantomas (Feuillade)

10 favorite first watches of the year. Didn't have a lot of time to watch films this year but still managed to see some great ones.

I barely remember anything of this film’s contents, but I have a vague yet warm memory of catching it on tv with my dad and brother in some hotel room and having a great laugh. In a way this makes it the most peak film of all

A Dietrich I drew some months ago

One of the best I’ve seen all year. Absolutely blown away

Going with a friend to see Cassavetes’ Faces with a friend on 35mm. My second film of his

Remember the Night - Perhaps it's thanks to Leisen, or maybe I was in particularly sentimental mood, but I enjoyed this more than most of Sturges' work. Stanwyck is perfect

The Guitry is excellent. The Stroheim posting is making we want to finally check out his films

Ford's Pilgrimage. Now shares a space in my mind reserved for Sunrise and L'Atalante, exemplary of all I treasure in film.
