^^^ Glad you watched Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. It's the only SW film that had me tear up (...When Jyn breaks down at the hologram of her father and the end with the two on the beach...)

Just the ones I remember:

Calm With Horses (The lead is so damn handsome…)
The Wailing
We Summon The Darkness
The Handmaiden
Seberg
Train To Busan: Peninsula (…LOL 80s cheesefest— complete with a cute kid. I Swear, Korean kid actors can cry/wail like no one else...)
Missing Link (So heartwarming to see Travis Knight pour his passion into such a lost and quiet artform, rather than pursue some high-profile glamorous career. I’ll always support his films.)
The Outpost (Went in for Scott Eastwood in a tight tee but this ended up being a solid film.)
Cuties (Maimouna is a genuine debut talent and I hope she continues to outrage and provoke the new American puritans with her storytelling of real girls/real people/real life.)

Yes, I lost my Star Wars virginity. Catched it on TV and although it took a while for it to grab me it did make a positive impression...wasn't expecting it to be so sad though.

The Handmaiden is such a cinematic wonder, the way it plays with the audience while jumping through genres is like nothing I've ever seen. Beautiful too, Chan-Wook Park demonstrated he is a consumate aesthete, I'm still in the search for his debut movie The Moon is the Sun's Dream which seems to have dissapeared from the face of earth...

@YohjiAddict omg you have a great list of films!!

How did you like Suspiria? I just recently watched.. it was an interesting plot for a horror film.

 

[YohjiAddict]

@lauralynn025 I thought it was well made, tastefully costumed, designed and choreographed but that it needed a good trim for it to flow better and have a clearer focus. Didn't understand what the point of that elder character was.

I will say it did inspire to watch the Pina documentary.

 

[Phuel]

The elderly man that Tilda played? I always got the impression that he represented to the coven the symbol of patriarchy they despised so much, only to have off their matriarch in the same way, so it was just the hierarchy that was corrupting to them. (That, and it gave Tilda bragging-rights to play both characters.)

The film was confidently creepy/stylish/gorgeous/artsy/b-movie hip enough visually and narratively from beginning to end— and it is a gorgeously shot film brimming with both socio-political and a fairy tale-ish tone throughout. It’s a very postmodern surrealist fairy tale. Ironically, the only element that wasn’t convincing one bit for a troop of dancers was the dance performance. Not the actors’ dancing and the possessed choreography— those were strong. But the performances for the audience and the finale: They had me wondering why would anyone pay to see this sort of grade-school level dancing (in equally DIY costumes)??? Even Marc snatched Karole to choreographed his show to an impressive performance-- why an't a feature film…???
