Rec | “THE PIANO“ BY JANE CAMPION

🥝

watched around the time Campion’s “Power of the Dog” was getting Oscar buzz and been thinking about diving back in (which is rare for me). Pretty bonkers concept and also is proof that Harvey Keitel is sexy at any age

All that jazz

Here’s the thing. This movie is perfect. it’s obsession in a time capsule. I’m on a lil cocaine talking to my partner about how much we both love it and i was like “dude I feel like bob fosse is rolling in his grave about the ariana grande video” and he said, “I actually feel like he is very at peace in his grave” and honestly after seeing his directorial collection, he’s right. That man had restless leg syndrome to its fatal conclusion. Very cool and very sweet though. Everything old is new again!

Out OF The Blue

watched this last week and was blown away by linda manz. not only a fantastic teen performance (rare) but a shock of a performance period. she's fiery and tender despite herself. great voice. woulda changed my life to see this at 13. worth watching just for her but also for this one scene, won't spoil, with dennis hopper & a bottle of whiskey that is maybe one of my favorite things i've seen in a film.

THE RED SHOES

I'd been hearing about THE RED SHOES for years and never got round to watching it - the picture of Moira Shearer staring, wild-eyed, and so intense, at the camera was captivating and it was always on my radar for that reason. Finally, towards the end of last year, I watched it, and JESUS. It is without doubt one of the best films I have ever seen. Despite being shot in the 40s, it feels so contemporary - the colour, the camera movement - and you can feel its DNA all over so many of the films that came after it. It's also the reason Martin Scorsese wanted to be a filmmaker - he was obsessed by it as a nine year old; it's why he uses red so much. It is, unquestionably, required viewing. It also really disturbs the idea that British cinema is all kitchen sink realism. I love the vision, the ambition. As a British filmmaker myself, I love that this makes me feel seen in our cinematic history.
