today's viewing: Char's Counterattack, Promare

first movie would have been good if the audio wasn't out of sync by several seconds (note: the second image was procured without opening the viewfinder and thereby any unwanted light source, so I am a lawful individual)

today's viewing: Perfect Blue (rewatch)
I think its most impressive quality is balancing two halves - having a De Palma style voyeurism that decenters the protagonist in its first half, which is lessened in the second as it moves towards a self-concerned decentering via paranoia

Watched Eugene Ionesco's The Bald Soprano today, did not know it was popular enough to be performed so this is quite a monumental day for me

today's viewing: All About Lily Chou-Chou

I'm conscious of De Palma's comment that a film cannot get by with just "visual arabesques". Sharp lighting, but the subjectivity it forwards in visuals, it avoids in narrative, choosing non-definition over a fluid or dialetheist one.

today's viewing: Princess Mononoke
There is a monumentality in its environment, which is by design, unlike its approach to character, which is given a much greater emotional distance. As such, the sentimentality of its ending is one not substantiated by the content of the film
