Good list and probably only five or six of them I would quibble with. Great to see Eighth Grade in there. But no Sexy Beast or Dead Mans Shoes. No Ghost World! No Inglorious Basterds. No Mulholland Drive or No Country for Old Men, for goodness sake. No Downfall or The White Ribbon … and yet Cache and The Social Network?!

I found myself shouting a quote from Sexy Beast out of the window only yesterday.

I was only talking to a client today about how awful the Social Network was. Who wants to watch a film about a website?

Good film, creatively and culturally. My vanilla heterosexual mind did find the themes of ‘abuse’ hard to watch but some better, more educated, thoughts from the queer / kink community below

That’s a really interesting article, particularly the piece around consent.
My take was despite Colin being a bit naive at the beginning, he knew what he was getting into after those initial encounters.
Good film. Some real laugh out loud and wtf moments too.
Great article indeed. And yes the funny moments helped balance out the emotional abuse (or what I would consider emotion abuse anyway) haha. Loved it that they used Alessi Brothers - Seabird for the titles too

That was bugging me. I nearly Shazam’d it.
Brilliant, thanks.
I found out the other day the actor playing Colin was Dudley Dursley in the Harry Potter films

Saw this at my neighbour’s last night (not the cinema but she does have a massive telly). Beautifully shot drama about injustice in India.

Saw It Was Just an Accident last night - another film about day to day corruption and state oppression set in Iran. Grim for sure but plenty of lighter moments too.

I watched it so you didnt have to. It was grim, in parts. A bit too oppressive and overwhelming as the film went on. But there were beautiful scenes in it and the cinematography really captured the dramatic Moroccan desert landscape. I’m not really sure what to make of it. There were somw very emotionally intense moments in it when I was close to tears - something that happens more these days as I get older and more sensitive - but some of it was ridiculous. Not a waste of 100 minutes at all.
