Come for the writing, stay for the sleek Grace Zabriskie pic

Thanks to Adam Nayman I became aware of you and your brillant read on Chime and now I discover your are writing on The Return just as I'm rewatching for the first time since the initial run! Consider me a new subscriber!!

Ah "additional reading" for the new TrueAnon 🫡

For @pastemagazine.bsky.social, I sat in a dimly lit room and wrote in my journal to rank every single feature directed by Paul Schrader. Poured my heart into this, and it’s now the piece I’m most proud of. Here’s 13,000 words on my favorite filmmaker of all time: tinyurl.com/5n73rpvt

@lukeoneil47.bsky.social not sure if this film was mentioned in the original thread or not but you should definitely track down Spoorloos, which was a major influence on the original Danish Speak no Evil.
Quite possibly the bleakest film in existence and it earns its stripes.

You must check out the original

I'll check it out, cheers!

I'd love to read a piece by you on Bonello's films. Nocturama started me down both a rabbit hole into his work which was great timing given it meant I could see The Beast in the cinema and also lead me to Alan Clarke, whose Elephant Bonello cited as an influence on elements of Nocturama.
