john dahl‘s first 3 movies

kill me again 1989 red rock west 1993 the last seduction 1994 all three of these movies are peak neo-noir. while all of them deal with similar themes and components they somehow each stand alone and aren’t redundant. they all got moody scores, bad babe femme fatales, bad boys, good guys that get screwed over, and briefcases of money. killer casts in all of them, young val kilmer, nic cage, linda fiorentino, dennis hopper, lara flynn boyle, michael madsen, bill pullman, etc. etc. its impossible for me to pick a fav but linda fiorentino’s performance in last seduction is so good it’s hard to compete with. what’s so stand out about it too is that the other two films you’re routing for the well-meaning characters to survive yet last seduction has you totally invested in the villain… john dahl directed other cool stuff but these are the gems

1989

there is an underlying theme in this year for movies. people are losing their minds, obsessing over the wrong things, and distorting reality… - UHF - SHOCKER - RELENTLESS - MYSTERY TRAIN - KILL ME AGAIN - SEA OF LOVE - HOW TO GET AHEAD IN ADVERTISING

telling yourself you’re living the dream

promotes positivity pro tip, dreams don’t always make sense - so when weird/bad stuff happens, you can shrug it off and be like wow what a weird dream bro 🤷

work in the service industry for too many years until it melts your mind so you make a 300 page graphic novel about all the weird stuff that went down

or don’t, i’m not like your manager telling you do some ”sidework” for real though service jobs are so crazy
