Listing films for a friend's teenage daughter who wants to both get into film and is interesting in getting into cinematography, to watch. Everything from silent to today. Any suggestions for the list? To contextualise the last two I added: A Snake of June and All That Heaven Allows. Anything goes

What's this? A duo of releases from @thirdwindowfilms.com by #ShinyaTsukamoto: A Snake of June and Tokyo Fist playing as a double bill @thenickelcinema.bsky.social in December? Definitely a case of Christmas coming early. And A Snake of June Tsukamoto's best work. Tinted black and white, gorgeous

Watched this from @filmsradiance.bsky.social yesterday and it's one powerful film. Some remarkable and stark images that prefectly fit the tone.
Nagisa Oshima's first independently produced film, THE CATCH, shows a U.S. pilot crash-landing in rural Japan at the tail-end of WW2.

The weekend is looking better already with the arrival of the holy grail of screeners, from our friends at @thirdwindowfilms.com. It's enough to give me second thoughts about those Anna May Wong and Shohei Imamura films I already have tickets for over the weekend... behold the Maiku Hama trilogy.

Finally got round to @thirdwindowfilms.com's A Samurai in Time, having missed my screening of it months ago, and yes it is as everyone says: very good. A warm-hearted film structured on kindness, humanity and the story is neatly knitted together. So if like me you've been putting it off: don't.

Woods are Wet
A film that is by turns elegant and crazed, Sadian nightmare.

Weeks later than planned got to @filmsradiance.bsky.social Underworld Beauty. Early Seijun Suzuki that is gorgeously shot in B&W, paced, performed; a downright sensual, hedonistic take on the yakuza tale that deserves serious attention; best served with whiskey, bullets and betrayal

Cultural vandelism for mercenary financial ends. With so few rep cinemas left, we need to protect those that we have.
