Robot dreams with the kids at the cinema was good. Animated movie about a dog and his robot mate with no dialogue.
Also just finished the edge of everything. Insightful and inspirational doc.

Halfway through Ripley, enjoying it so far, great cinematography as has been mentioned and Andrew Scott portrays the emotional blankness of a psychopath well.
My fave bits have been the scenes with Freddie in (played by Sting’s son i’ve learned), the unspoken tension between him and Tom is riveting.

Near the end of Ripley now and still loving it. The Italian policeman is an absolute joy. Some of its recurring visual motifs are a bit overused. There’s an awful lot of walking up and down steps.

I really enjoyed Ripley, thought it was gonna be pretentious, but was pleasantly surprised, actor that plays Ripley did a great study on DSM 5 michavellian / psycopath traits

Had a blast with both parts of Dune last weekend. Also great on headphones.
Watched this slow burner in the very early hours. Beautiful soundtrack and sound deisgn. Wasn’t surprised when William Basinski’s name rolled past in the ending credits.
In her hypnotic documentary feature, Ethiopian-Mexican filmmaker Jessica Beshir explores the coexistence of everyday life and its mythical undercurrents. Though a deeply personal project—Beshir was forced to leave her hometown of Harar with her family as a teenager due to growing political strife—the film she returned to make about the city, its rural Oromo community of farmers, and the harvesting of the country’s most sought-after export (the euphoria-inducing khat plant) is neither a straightforward work of nostalgia nor an issue-oriented doc about a particular drug culture. Rather, she has constructed something dreamlike: a film that uses light, texture, and sound to illuminate the spiritual lives of people whose experiences often become fodder for ripped-from-the-headlines tales of migration.

The cinematography and acting in Ripley is great, not so sure about the plot. I realised it’s highly stylised/film noir homage, but things like “why would one rent a boat and use it for that purpose?!!”. Without giving spoilers, it just seemed a lot of improbable things happened purely to provide plot tools.
Still enjoyed it.
