A ★★★★ review of Mother Joan of the Angels (1961)
devastating in its somnambulant dread. interesting to trace the phylogeny of ken russel’s The Devils to this.

A ★★★★ review of Wife! Be Like a Rose! (1935)
interesting look into urban / rural juxtaposition in 1930s Japan. can’t help but consider the gender dynamics of the movie. compelling.

A ★★★★ review of La Ronde (1950)

A ★★★★ review of The City (1939)

A ★★★½ review of Canyon Passage (1946)

A ★★★ review of Becky Sharp (1935)

ethan is so smug in this one and i forgot that thandie newton was in this. also, ethan’s hair in this first ten minutes so far is luxurious, honey. i really do not remember this one very well.
