A black comedy gem…

Screenshot of my last 4 films watched, as logged on Letterboxd. PICTURES OF GHOSTS, 4 stars THE WHITE BALLOON, 4 stars, a rewatch GRASS, 3.5 stars THE SECRET AGENT, 5 stars, a rewatch

My #LastFourWatched for #LetterboxdFriday.

I enjoyed all of these, but a rewatch of THE SECRET AGENT was the undoubted highlight. #FilmSky

🤣🤣🤣I suspect that there were a few cardiac incidents in that audience during the screening…
A lot of ‘1000 mile states’ on faces as we all left…

#LetterBoxdFriday #LastFourWatched

a double dose of Jafar Panahi, a Colson Whitehead adaptation, and a Kevin Costner western

I can well imagine! If I wasn’t so tired with work etc, I would be tempted to watch it a second time myself…

Ah, right! Yes, the soundtrack is phenomenal and would be a welcome addition to my own collection 👍

It’s a wild ride of a film alright. I wasn’t wholly convinced by it but I think you’ll have fun watching it unfold…

Last four films on Letterboxd: The Secret Agent If I Had Legs I’d Kick You Elizabeth R (TV) Sirat

Last four on Letterboxd. #FilmSky #LastFourFriday #LastFouronLetterboxd
One film and one TV #stonecoldclassic in there…

Looks bonkers!

🤣🤣🤣Genuinely not sure what to make of it! It looks amazing and the sound design/soundtrack are 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Just not certain that it amounts to a hill of beans…
Go in blind and enjoy the ride would be my advice!

“In the summer of 2023 the grass carried on growing as if nothing at all was wrong.” Maria Stepanova, The Disappearing Act, trans. @sashadugdale.bsky.social - I loved In Memory of Memory, and I’m loving this.

I think you might like it. Some genuine WTF moments…

‘Ravers gone wrong’ would be my subtitle for the film… 🤣👍

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

Brewed an eclectic mix

1) French arthouse hit about women in love
2) Scientific biopic won Paul Muni Best Actor Oscar
3) Grindhouse cheapie w/ murderous maniacs & oinkers who love them
4) Pretty, but shallow, view of modern relationships

One thing that I did unequivocally love about Sirat was the soundtrack…
#nowplaying @louiseann.bsky.social

🤣🤣🤣Head buzzing and the questions remain …

A ★★★ review of Sirāt (2025) Still pondering this one… Nevertheless, in terms of visual grandiosity and landscape pornography, Sirat is an arresting feast for the eyes. The soundtrack pulses with an intensity that is sexy as hell...

Not entirely convinced by Sirat but I did enjoy the photography and the awesome soundtrack… #FilmSky

I love Macbeth but I have seen it so many times now.

Cool. Sam West is a fine actor

🤣😬One of many in that industry…
Yes, the psychology of some of the characters is pretty impenetrable and hard to fathom.

I am undecided. I loved the visuals and the soundtrack was up my strasse. As for the rest? I shall ponder…
Is Laxe a bit of a prick?

Well now…
Too soon to process and I can’t decide if it was style over substance but ‘Sirat’ was a trip…

Is that the one with Ben Whishaw?

Ha! Well, I hated studying The Tempest but would dig it on the stage now…
The Taming of the Shrew?

I reckon so! Not sure my heart can take many more hyper-stressy films… 🤣😬

It’s a cracker. Lean, mean and unforgettable.
I have a soft spot for the grotesque melodrama of Coriolanus too. Of the pure comedies, I would probably pick Twelfth Night.

The Winter’s Tale or King Lear. Couldn’t choose between them…

No country has welcomed me, moved me, excited me more than Iran.
How, therefore, to react to the bombing?
Joy that Khamenei is finally gone. But a Trump-Netanyahu co-authorship is a terrible story.
Sending love to Iranian friends.

special guest of the week goes to CMAT, baby.

three nights at the Barrowlands and still time to support a local indie record shop.

Looking forward to this at the QFT with @cjdonnelly72.bsky.social
Having a pre-screening dram in order to steady my nerves… 🤣😬
