There's something mystical about it, it locks you into this sickening dream

One of the best endings in a long time too

it's sort of like The Third Man in its plot structure, but no snappy dialogue or safe characters and more like a mundane nightmare where you you sense there is a murky undercurrent of bad shit happening way scarier than the obvious ordinary everyday evil you see glimpses of and try to normalise.

OTM. It's more than tyres and petrol, Old Man.

Indeed to all the above -- a remarkable and unsettling film.
Watched four of those five (so far) Mexican showcase films I posted about earlier -- all great in their own ways!

Is it just me or is MUBI not updating with a new movie everyday anymore?
― Saxophone Of Futility (Michael B), Monday, 18 September 2023 19:21 (eight months ago) link
yes, they sent a circular to me via email a couple weeks ago suggesting there wouldn't be a daily movie anymore. not sure if that's impacted the number of overall films added, I've not really been super active on it recently

just came to ask about that. I really preferred the old structure - gave you a reason to check in every day plus provided some impetus to watch things which were due to drop off (and presumably helped them license some films - on a short term basis - they may otherwise struggle to.)

Had a snafu with MUBI GO last week but this week it seems to have worked fine mostly, although they QR reading is broken so they have to type in the code manually.

Anyway, saw THE PROMISED LAND/BASTARDEN at the Angelika yesterday and it lived up to its billing.

i really enjoyed Topology of Sirens - kind of Reichardt-y (very similar color palette and pace to Showing Up, but without the emotional core or character development), lots of experimental music (Sarah Davachi and Matchess act and perform in the movie), sometimes has the vibes of those videos where people play their expensive synthesizers in a very curated room with lots of plants, but it's also a mystery.

some of that reads like a backhanded compliment but it really was a pleasant way to spend an hour and a half - it looks really nice and has good music and sounds

About to watch it.

I quite loved it (and hated it simultaneously)
― Rich E. (Eric H.), Tuesday, 7 May 2024 16:45 (two weeks ago) link
Because it never got even a cursory release here, I'm going to count it as a 2024 film (the NYT didn't review it until March).
― the talented mr pimply (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 7 May 2024 16:49 (two weeks ago) link
The final extended sequence is ok - but overall this film really tested the limits of my patience, and I could never sit through it again.
― Bob Six, Tuesday, 7 May 2024 17:04 (two weeks ago) link
Oh, it's definitely a "great, wonderful, timely, important, masterpiece" movie I won't ever see again, probably
