Dos bobinas francesas is a film composed of two Super 8 reels shot in France during a summer trip, both entirely edited in-camera and projected as they came out of the camera. In the first half, the film explores the house and garden of Paul Cézanne, located in the city of Aix-En-Provence, attempting to connect with the light and objects that surrounded the painter. The second reel, filmed in Arles, captures everyday phenomena in the city, postcard scenes of Van Gogh, empty streets, signs of local businesses, or games in front of mirrors, among other things.

When it comes the horror genre, I am VERY hard to please or impress, much less scare. Coming from a current mindset of appreciation for chilling, unsettling, tension-inducing efforts such as "Hereditary", "The Conjuring" (ONLY the first one to date, mind you), "Lights Out", "The Babadook", "Midsommar", "Talk To Me", "Oddity", "Bring Her Back", and the like
The film exhibits a respect for the craft and an empathy for human tribulations that have historically been ignored.
If you've watched 'Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles', you are either someone who believes “nothing happens” in this three and half-hour film or you’re like me who believes everything happens.
I write for a diversity-focused film review blog, so I’ll be honest: I really wanted to like Pretty Lethal. Starring Maddie Ziegler, Lana Condor, Iris Apatow, Avantika, and Millicent Simmonds, Amazon Prime’s new thriller seemed like it would be a girl power movie about dancers with a horror action twist. Sort of a Suspiria for teens. But with shallow and unlikeable characters, a confusing plot, an overreliance on violence, and cringey dialogue, any fun the movie started out with was quickly lost. What was left was a faint echo of greater horror movies about dancers made before.
While the film didn’t hit me as emotionally as I wanted it to, I still enjoyed it. I simply wish there was a little more, particularly with the world building.
