I loved Poor Things. Accents were fucking appalling, but it weirdly added to the stuck-together, steampunk charm of the thing. Emma Stone is such a great foil for Yorgos Lanthimos - is there anything more powerful in Hollywood than a deeply weird auteur building a long term working relationship with 100% A Lister film stars?
We were on the Peter Lorre season this weekend, and watched M on Saturday and The Man Who Knew Too Much on Sunday. M is one of the best films I've ever seen and Lorre's performance is haunting. I absolutely loved it.
Found Man Who Knew Too Much oddly disappointing after it. I think I will make a lot of excuses for a film which is made in the 1930s - I can take a lot of sexism, disjointed themes, etc, and it wasn't even super bad for that - but I had to make absolutely no such excuses for M.
I think sometimes watching good films is like upgrading the whiskey you drink. It's great at the time until you get used to it, and any time you can't get the absolutely great stuff, you really resent it.
