that was decent yeah, even though I didn't feel in the mood for Cumberbatch in that type of role, but he does ok.

Very much of a piece with her crime TV work imo.
Had a grand old time having two bros behind me at the cinema chuckling at every instance of homophobic bullying in it.
― Daniel_Rf, Wednesday, 24 November 2021 12:51 (two years ago) link
I was thinking something similar to calzino. Do I actually need to see him in this role? Maybe not. But I’m fine with it. The most interesting performance by far was the boy. Oh and don’t blink or you’ll miss Keith Carradine.

Wow, BC seems to have engaged in some serious Marathon Man-level Method Acting.

I was going a few months there where I wasnt really getting the use out of it but I've seen some great stuff over the last two months

MUBI GO is a cheat, cheat, cheat. Instead of the Romanian film they promised it is still the Jane Campion, so not a new film every week. BTW, the JC film is based on a book but not the book of the same title a lot of ILX0Rs like.

I did watch Die Wand/The Wall before it leaves in five days, which I recommend.

I kind of am curious about the novel The Power of the Dog. I assume much stuff that is cryptic or murky in the movie is made more explicit, although Wikipedia has a summary with some spoilers that seems to indicate some different action from the film.

MUBI GO fixed the glitch. I’m in!

Enjoyed Microhabitat - Jeon Go-woon’s debut film. One of the user reviews compared it to Frances Ha - and it is an interesting thought.

weird how two of the three movies I watched because they expiring from MUBI ended up on Tubi.

One thing: seems to me they used to give advance notice which films were coming in a series but now they are often more cagey, so Pierrot le fou but then what.

Thought about going to see The Hand of God yesterday but didn't. Maybe next week.

Went today. Not sure how I feel about it.

I saw it this weekend, and was rather annoyed. But I knew going in it was another specimen of film industry navel-gazing.

Featuring a real virtuoso performance and not just scenery-chewing like three weeks ago.

But I somehow managed to avoid Léa Seydoux up until now so maybe I am easily impressed.

Azor is a very good period movie set in the Pinochet era. Swiss banker and his wife following a colleague who disappeared. It's a horror movie in places.
― calzino, Thursday, 20 January 2022 23:20 (two years ago) link
Yeah. That’s been on my list for a while/pvmic
― Tapioca Tumbril (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 21 January 2022 01:05 (two years ago) link
It's a very good film indeed.
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 21 January 2022 01:10 (two years ago) link
it's look and eerie mood sort of reminded me a bit of Il Divo, particularly that ungodly Monsignor character.

One thing I don't understand: They seem to own the distribution and streaming rights for Benedetta in the US as well as the UK, but one can't actually stream it through MUBI US. At some point there were some some things you could pay for outside of your regular membership but I don't see that anymore.
― Solaris Ocean Blue (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 20 February 2022 02:36 (two years ago) link
Maybe the don't own US rights, onliy UK.
― Solaris Ocean Blue (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 20 February 2022 02:37 (two years ago) link
In any case maybe watching Ms. 45 would be a good substitute.
IFC has the US rights. Wikipedia sentence is a little confusing: "That same month, MUBI and IFC Films acquired the distribution rights to the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the United States respectively."
― Solaris Ocean Blue (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 20 February 2022 02:40 (two years ago) link
Or maybe fragment of sentence that showed up in search was confusing.
― Solaris Ocean Blue (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 20 February 2022 02:50 (two years ago) link
Also keep seeing them talk about The Worst Person in the the World, no idea when I can see it in the US.
― Solaris Ocean Blue (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 20 February 2022 16:31 (two years ago) link
Oh wait, it's playing at Film at Lincoln Center. Not sure I can get over there anytime soon but it's a possibility.

Was blown away by the new film Zero Fucks Given, starring Adèle Exarchopoulos. The first half brilliantly conveys the ruthless regime of working on budget airlines mixed with the vapid and dreary 'luxury' leisure time in holiday resorts. The second half gets below the surface. A really outstanding performance.
― Luna Schlosser, Thursday, 31 March 2022 23:14 (two years ago) link
Oh yeah. Saw that pop up in the queue and was intrigued. Also may have used my MUBI GO today. More later.

ZFG looks good but how come in English, where’s the V.O.? Maybe they shot two at the same time like in old days or maybe it’s actually just the way they did it.
― Never Mind the ILX, Here's the Blecch Pistols (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 1 April 2022 13:15 (two years ago) link
Oh, Adèle E was also in Sibyl which I quite liked, with Virginie Efira, although I still haven’t seen Benedetta.
― Never Mind the ILX, Here's the Blecch Pistols (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 1 April 2022 13:22 (two years ago) link
I watched ZFG in French with English subtitles. Definitely what I’d recommend as her voice is an integral part of the performance. (If I’ve understood the issue correctly)
― Luna Schlosser, Friday, 1 April 2022 13:42 (two years ago) link
In the US it seems to be an English-only version. She seems to be doing her on dialogue, it is not dubbed, but still.
― Never Mind the ILX, Here's the Blecch Pistols (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 1 April 2022 13:45 (two years ago) link
Maybe I will ask them. They seem to respond to their Instagram.

Ahed’s Knee is what I saw in the theater. Really well done. Think I will finally get around to streaming his other stuff, especially since Synonyms just showed up on Criterion.
