I watched cercle rouge and le samourai. le cercle rouge was more enjoyable as a story, because it had much more of one, but le samourai was the better film imo. samourai had great costuming, casting, and delivery such that each scene was something worth watching in its own right, and it didn't matter as much how it related to the fairly light plot that tied it all together. cercle rouge was a better story, but it leaned hard into rififi (which is great, but also do your own thing, buddy!) and while well delivered didn't make it to the same heights that samourai did for individual scenes. le samourai was just loving super well-made through and through. I don't much care to lean on "great cinematography" as part of a review but sometimes it's just really accurate. expertly executing the small details can really make a movie, and I'm impressed at what le samourai brought to the table. it didn't feel as much like an experimental crime film trying to find its feet, but rather like what happens when you give a great director a loose plot and let them run wild (yes, melville wrote and directed both the movies im talking about). I think it's focus on character over caper helped bring that out. it reminded me a bit of drive with respect to the "loose plot, individual scenes done very well" thing.

also I watched the nice guys cause someone (nmn probably) posted a gif of it and it owned. not really the same sort of film as that french noir stuff but I enjoyed it quite a bit

I've never been a huge Tarantino fan but I put Once upon a time in Hollywood on as a random pick and enjoyed it a lot - I though Pitt and Dicaprio were both absolutely at the top of their game, and the slow-paced meandering light plot working up to that ending felt like 'real cinema' should, something I can't say for almost all the movies I have watched of late.

Lotta dirty bare ladies feet here though, not sure if anyone noticed.

it was a weird movie. excellent performances, and some great scenes, but it didnt cohere at all for me

i guess i should spoil this so

it builds up to the manson murders, but they are averted by a badass macho stuntman tripping balls who saves the day while sharon tate is oblivious eye-candy.

like, its a weird alt-history take in a bad way as opposed to inglorious basterds where its jews and women and a black dude who kill hitler

i remember thinking as it was ending that "oh now comes the denouement where it turns out that polanski doesnt become a pedophile rapist because his wife is still alive"

a friend of mine is one of those true crime weirdos and she was legit pissed at the handling of the manson cult stuff after watching that movie

personally, i was just annoyed by the pacing after the third or fourth time we watch brad pitt drive across town for five minutes for no real reason.

yeah the driving scenes were almost the most indulgent part lol. i have a real low tolerance for "hollywood mythology" type movies. everything i hear about Mank is good, Oldman and Fincher are extremely good, but it doesn't pique me in the least.

also ya the ending, it definitely felt to me like something was missing. some kind of thematic bow on its lack of historicity. it just explodes and then you wait for the punchline but there isn't any, which if that were the punchline, it could be done way better
