red rocket (baker 2021) ♥

rewatches: clueless, rebecca, the TAMI show, vertigo

edit: should say something about ragbar/downpour as there's not a 1972 thread yet. it's credited as the film that launched the iranian new wave; a romantic comedy with an edge. the film obliquely but effectively addresses the patriarchy as a tragic system and introduces a meta element that later film makers became famous for - no surprise it was banned and believed to have been destroyed by the revolutionary government. it was beizai's first feature and he had the only surviving print which was restored through world cinema foundation. btw beizai is still around at 83 - he lives in california.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (Peter Jackson, 2001) 9/10

I watched this again in January too, but I only put first watches on my monthly lists. I watched the overly long extended version in separate chunks over three or four days.

I'm going to rewatch The Two Towers soon.

I'm going to rewatch The Two Towers soon.

I planned to watch the extended versions of the trilogy, but, when I visited my mom for a few days right after the new year, the theatrical versions were on TV and since mom had never seen any of LOTR movies, we watched shorter versions together.
