#LetterboxdFriday #lastfourwatched Not seeing many Odyssey views, which surprises me!! The Odyssey ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wow. Loved it. Can’t wait to watch it again. Some of the scenes were too quick (eg giants) but to cram everything in I guess Nolan had to keep it moving. North by Northwest ⭐️⭐️⭐️ First watch. Really enjoyed it, especially the Rushmore scene at the end. Swift Sword ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lots going on with this one. Good film though.

#LetterboxdFriday DOOR III [🇯🇵 ] None of these Door movies have any connection to the others, except that they have doors in them.Idea: Let's just retrospectively claim any horror movie with a door in it is part of the franchise ⭐⭐⭐ CARITA DE CIELO [🇲🇽 ] Acceptably entertaining screwball(ish) comedy ⭐⭐⭐ AVENTURERA [🇲🇽 ] Gloriously overcooked melodrama with dance numbers and people wearing bananas on their heads. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ BYE BYE LOVE [🇯🇵 ] A while back, I decided I was overusing the term 'Godardian' in these mini-reviews, but if I can't use it for this film, I can't use it for anything. If you like Breathless and Pierrot le Fou, you could do worse than add this to your watchlist ⭐⭐⭐⭐ #LastFourWatched

#LetterboxdFriday THE HIRELING - 🇬🇧 A chauffeur, traumatised by the war, falls for a depressed aristo. It doesn't end well for him. There's a lot going on here. It has a literary depth to it. But it's dry ⭐⭐⭐ THE RED & THE WHITE - 🇭🇺 🎶 War! (Huh, good god) What is it good for? Eastern European arthouse films made in opposition to it. Say it again 🎶 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ TOUCH OF EVIL - 🇺🇸 Classic, innit. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ MR ARKADIN - 🇫🇷 🇪🇸 Not sure which cut of this I saw the first time around, but it wasn't this 'Comprehensive Version', which salvages the film, but still leaves it very rough around the edges. ⭐⭐⭐ #LastFourWatched

#LetterboxdFriday THERESE RAQUIN - 🇫🇷 The kind of technically solid, high quality but sterile literary adaptation that provoked the French New Wave -- so I suppose we should be grateful for that ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ FATA MORGANA - 🇩🇪 Werner Herzog's lyrical documentary about mirages. Or something ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ OUT OF THE PAST - 🇺🇸 Weirdly (to me anyway), I hadn't seen this before. Has absolutely everything I could possibly want from a classic noir. Gorgeous photography, smart-arse 'hard-boiled' dialogue, double-crosses, unnecessarily complex plot structure, &c. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ THE SEVENTH CONTINENT - 🇦🇹 All these years on, Michael Haneke's feature debut demonstrates that Michael Haneke arrived fully-formed ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ #LastFourWatched
