Happy #LetterboxdFriday everyone! https://boxd.it/1jkw5
I didn't get into Inside Out very well at first, but luckily it got better as the movie went on and made me wipe away a tear in the end.
Sightseers on the other hand ... was wild. The less u know the better.
My ★★★★★ review of Sweet Smell of Success on #letterboxd: https://boxd.it/9bDgV7
boxd.itA ★★★★★ review of Sweet Smell of Success (1957)Oh my.. is this a piece of true art or what? And two of my favourite actors in one film? I'm so blessed. Why you should watch this one (if you haven't already): - the cast (need I say more?) - hypersharp direction - magnetic cinematography - the jazzy score! - one of the best noir crime thrillers ever made ... - the lines / the quotes are top of the bill (J.J. Hunsecker: “You're dead, son. Get yourself buried.”) - the coolness of it all ... Someone called this b/w drama 'meandering', well he was wrong. The pace might

My ★★★★★ review of Alien (1979) on #Letterboxd https://boxd.it/9aFqM5
boxd.itA ★★★★★ review of Alien (1979)Ripley & co take up the necessary arms against a bunch of slimy monsters on a far away planet, and how (!) .. does it get any creapier than this? (no, Gremlins does not count) S(ub)limy! An astronomical huge thank you to my brother, who was the movie fan/freak I turned out to become as well. I learned from him, great movies are not just about the Academy Awards, neither just about the Hollywood glam, or even the French nouvelle vague. Love for movies can be everywhere, and for any reason. As long as they linger on after watching them. Unfortunately,
My ★★★★★ review of 2001: A Space Odyssey on Letterboxd: https://boxd.it/8Cz9FN
boxd.itA ★★★★★ review of 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)So many brilliant reviews of this one-of-kind movie exist. Instead of adding more deserved superlatives to 2001, I’ll tell a special story about one of the cast members… (perhaps this is a good story) Some years ago I found out that a former Hollywood child star was said to live in my own town in Belgium, according to IMDB (thé film database next to Letterboxd). Ann Gillis was her name. ‘How bizarre’, I thought. Was that correct?... This resulted in a search (including a complex family tree) and a FB tribute page. A FB friend and movie lover I knew

One good thing about this movie is that I now know what an Abattoir is. Nah-battoir.

My ★★★★★ review of Black Narcissus (1947) on #Letterboxd https://boxd.it/9a8yh9
boxd.itA ★★★★★ review of Black Narcissus (1947)The best movie from 1947. Perhaps the best movie made in the 40s. Feel free to discuss. No discussion is valid when it comes to acknowledging the power ànd sheer beauty of Powell and Pressburger's Black Narcissus. It's possible this isn't your cup of tea, fair enough. Cinema is a subjective art, like all arts. But it's on screen magic from beginning to ending. Intensity goes to 11, hidden sensualities are just wow and all women were magnetic. (Kathleen Byron! Deborah Kerr! Jean Simmons!). Need more reasons to put this on any list? Tim Dirks: "Black Narcissus (1947) is a
My ★★★★★ review of Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) on #letterboxd: https://boxd.it/9a8r4R
boxd.itA ★★★★★ review of Once Upon a Time in the West (1968)A Leone classic in every sense of the word, unbelievably beautiful, captivating, sublimely acted, you name it. And without the out-of-this-world score by Morricone, the magic of Once upon a time in the west would be downsized big time. But lucky us, it uplifted and 'mooded' this unforgettable western immensely. My late brother, who died in a car crash caused by my nephew, was a tremendous movie fan. I remember almost all films he enjoyed back in the 80s. And this one was on top of his favorites, I believe. I can understand why, obviously. I will remember him through

My ★★★★★ review of News from Home (1976) on #Letterboxd
https://boxd.it/8cmHVP
boxd.itA ★★★★★ review of News from Home (1976)If the word 'mesmerizing' did not exist, I would have been invented to describe this chef d'oeuvre (and she had plenty of those) by the unparalleled Chantal Akerman. “This is one of the best depictions of the alienation of exile that I know.” – Jonathan Rosenbaum Roger Ebert: "After “Jeanne Dielman”, she would make three more masterpieces before the decade was over. The first is “Je, Tu, Il, Elle,” on which more in a moment. The next two were autobiographical inverses. “News from Home” is a trance-like documentary that features Akerman reading letters from her mother over footage of her

My ★★★★★ review of L'Eclisse (1962) on #letterboxd: https://boxd.it/8cucuz
boxd.itA ★★★★★ review of L'Eclisse (1962)That chemistry between Alain Delon and Monica Vitti in L'Eclisse... they don't make them like that anymore. The films and the stars; or how (daring) cinema can warm your home and cinematic heart. "Antonioni’s first films were documentaries, and it’s worth noting that he employed mainly real stockbrokers in the stock exchange sequences of L’eclisse, getting Delon to model his gestures on those of one of them. Part of what makes these scenes so breathtaking is his compositional style in using the edges of the frame and playing off different sections of the crowded image in relation to one another—much
