Marcello Mastroianni and director Federico Fellini under a red umbrella in Rome between shots of Fellini's 1987 mockumentary, INTERVISTA.

How can a movie like this even exists? Bresson really taps into something trascendental. This rewatch made me realize it encompasses all his prior works and even those that were to come. You could call it "L'Argent" and it'd still be appropiate Also what's O/U on number of times Haneke's seen it?

A new "Evangelion" animated short film will be screened in February 2026 at the Eva Fest. By Hideaki Anno & Naoyuki Asano (+ Kazuya Tsurumaki, Shinji Higuchi & Ikki Todoroki). Eva will never end 😇 30th.evangelion.jp/fes/news/33

Liv Ullmann in "Cries and Whispers" - BOTD

“On behalf of Director Park Chan-wook's new film, we are cordially inviting all Fortune 500 CEOs to a special screening of NO OTHER CHOICE. This is truly a film that speaks to our gracious executive leaders and the culture they have cultivated.” Beast mode shit.

Excellent french food from Criterion and two beautiful covers

Sideways (2004) is a masterpiece but while watching it I couldn't help but think that It was like a rated R west coast 2 hours long Seinfeld episode featuring alternative universe George and Kramer lol

“There is also the story about Tyrone Slothrop, who was sent into the Zone to be present as his own assembley…The plan went wrong. He is being broken down…and being scattered. His cards have been laid down, Celtic style…they point only to a long and scuffling future, to mediocrity.”

Three Colors: Red (1994) Director Krzysztof Kieślowski

My favorite Rohmer Trintignant never missed. He was equally exciting to watch in his youth, in his prime and his late years

Jean-Luc Godard, François Truffaut.

Linklater understands that first thing you need to do if you want to make a great french film is casting a bunch of beautiful women

Damn, I didn't I would but I absolutely loved Nouvelle Vague (2025). I watched it with the biggest grin of my face for the whole runtime and it made me want to explore more a period I had kinda lost interest in Also, the closing credits are instantly joining the list of the best i've seen

It's crazy how this looks exactly as if it was shoot by Sergio Martino in 1973

What I love about Jonathan Demme is that he searches for poetry in the tacky, the everyday. I value that much more highly than the so-called tasteful movies people make. It takes more courage to be as unhighfalutin and democratic as he. (1988)

Dostoevsky in New York City. Raw, hopeless, not a word wasted. Really a tight screenplay. It clearly influenced Uncut Gems but it's gloomier and with a more courageous ending. What a movie. The Gambler - Karel Reisz

Ridley Scott (with scenes from his film "The Duellists") - BOTD

If there is such a thing as The Great Chinese Novel, this film would certainly embody that. Leslie Cheung and Gong Li give two of most powerful and yet vulnerable I have ever seen Farewell My Concubine - Chen Kaige

Cahiers du Cinema's top 10 movies of 2025.

Udo Kier - cinema’s fallen angel and an embodiment of the screen’s delicious power to corrupt - is gone. "I would live like the hero of Huysman's A Rebours,” he once told me. “Have no clocks, and hire two nuns to go by my window and pray at 12 o'clock each day."

Images from films starring Udo Kier - RIP Flesh for Frankenstein (1973) The Third Generation (1979) My Own Private Idaho (1991) Dragged Across Concrete (2018)

With his mumbling in this one and the voice over narration in Barry Lyndon, Michael Hordern's got to have one of the most iconic voices in all of cinema

Since I made up in my mind that PTA cut the Las Vegas section from Inherent Vice because he had already been there with Hard Eights, now I'm gonna be expecting that one of his next movies will be a japanese Yakuza/sci-fi flick to make up from the Japan section he cut from Vineland!

Andrzej Zulawski directing Romy Schneider during the making of THAT MOST IMPORTANT THING: LOVE (1975) Zulawski was BOTD in 1940

The two most Vineland-like shots of OBAA

Terrorizers (Edward Yang)

Great decade, I could name 10 more Brazil Wings of Desire The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover Landscape in the Mist

Martin Scorsese, Joe Pesci and Robert De Niro on location in Nevada for “CASINO” (1995) 🎬 #UniversalPictures

The Third Part of the Night (1971): In the first 15 minutes, 5 people, including a child, are murdered in violent and graphic manner, a doppelganger appears and we see a woman give birth for real Zulawaski was a mad man from the very beginning

People say Cancel Culture is real and then you see Lydia Tár being invited to meet the Pope. 🙄

yes...hahaha...yes_sickos.gif

I never imagined that I'd see Gaspar Noè and the Pope in the same frame lmao

And if you don't want to listen to Peter, here Zizek makes a compelling case for this one!

We should rivisit Louis Malle’s work more. I watched Au revoir les enfants recently which is a heartbreakingly beautiful film. In hands of a lesser director it would've been a typical oscar bait, in his it's a nuanced exploration of a bunch of young boys coming age amid horrific circumstances

It's actually crazy to think that if Nakadai had retired at 30 after Harakiri, with that film and The Human Condition Trilogy under his belt he would've been already one of the greatest of all time. Fortunately tho he gifted us with many more indellible performances. R.I.P King

RIP Tatsuya Nakadai One of the best to ever do it. An expert at being a wild-eyed, haunted weirdo.

John Woo: ‘Someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this. my film is dying.’

My head is full of bees as it tends to be and so I'm watching František Vláčil's Marketa Lazarová (1967) for the fifth time in as many days. I want to disappear into it. It's a headwaters for On a Silver Globe and Hard to be a God, both - an image of depravation and filth so sublimely beautiful.

vince gilligan shaved his moustache and i can tell you right now it would take me like ten years to figure out clark kent is superman. who the fuck is that

I saw Pluribus pilot and I enjoyed it. A good X-Files/Twilight Zone episode that will probably go on for multiple seasons tho, so we'll have to see how the story expands and if it can keep its mystic. I just miss the times where TV shows looked like TV shows and didn't try to be "A Movie"

Bring back erotic thrillers, good lighting and Bridget Fonda & Jennifer Jason Leigh starring in the same movie, please and thank you Single White Female - Barbet Schroeder

Martin Scorsese and his daughter Francesca read Letterboxd reviews and guessed which Scorsese movie they were about.

Trailer for Bi Gan’s RESSURRECTION. It takes place over 100 years of Chinese history in stories about all your senses, it’s about a monster & movies & love and how we somehow invented a strange method for sharing dreams.

Hopefully a return to form from him The trailer is great. It's looks like a more grounded morality tale 📽️

first teaser for The Testament of Ann Lee great movie

💿February Announcements💿 Our February releases take us across the world from sprawling Japanese crime sagas, to an Ancient Greek epic and a distinctive proto-giallo from Italy. All of these - plus our second Transmission title - are available for pre-order now.

After seeing it I think I might like Mothra (1961) more than Godzilla (1954). I guess there's only one way to really decide: watching Mothra vs. Godzilla (1964)

The new Scorsese, supposedly mostly set inside an old hotel, makes me hopeful he's gonna get into The Age of Innocence mode, a movie where every interior scene is breathaking beautiful
