You should watch Eyes Without a Face (on VHS).

I've been sick the past two days so I was able to find time in what seems like a year or two to sit down and watch a film or two.



The Killing of a Sacred Deer

I'm a big fan of Yorgos Lanthimos. Loved Dogtooth and The Lobster and I loved this. I didn't think the dude could get darker but this was certainly his darkest film yet. The story is based on the ancient Greek play Iphigenia at Aulis by Euripides but was presented with the same kind of surreal and strange pacing and dialogue that Lanthimos is famous for. Great acting by Farrell and Barry Keoghan.



Blade Runner 2049

Finally had the time to see this. Villeneuve is my favorite working director and I'm kicking myself for not trying to see this in the theater hard enough. Great acting from all involved. Ana de Armas stood out to me besides being one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen holy sh*t. Gosling was made for the role. Made me understand the original more. Beautifully shot. I love Roger Deakins. Fantastic film.

She looks like a non-edgy 90s Eliza Dushku.

Agree with everything here 100%. Deakins and Villeneuve are my two favorites working today. Some of the shots in this film were literally breathtaking.

The part I saw before I passed out (not the movie's fault) in the theatre was pretty awesome.

I'm not trying to be a contrarian, but I just can't see what Villeneuve really has going for him as a director. Give him a lot of money and the movie is of course gonna look like it cost a lot of money, but I don't really see the artist's tocuh. That eye for cinema. He's very bland to me. Arrival (the only Villeneuve film I've liked so far) felt like it survived on a fairly interesting script and good actors. The direction was working against the movie, if anything.

It takes a lot more than money to make something look like it costs a lot of money. He's great at building suspense and conveying intricate plots. He's a little Spielberg-y in his camerawork though I guess.
