Early in July, I watched my first Paul Vecchiali film, Rosa la rose, fille publique. Since then, I’ve spent the past two months compiling everything I could and channeling it into this essay. This one means so much to me! : www.rewindandrevive.com/p/paul-vecch...

On September 9th 6e/5c/4m/3p It’s Season 9 of Movie Night Extravaganza and we are joined by @martamcfly.bsky.social to talk about Noah Baumbach & Greta Gerwig’s Frances Ha!! @cosmepolitics.bsky.social @neutron.bsky.social @alwaysflacko.bsky.social Filmsky 📽️ youtube.com/movienightex...

Happy #LetterboxdFriday y’all! My #LastFourWatched are brought to you by a Soviet animation rec from @martamcfly.bsky.social, a @frightfest.bsky.social screener & my IP horror journey 🖤

Had the pleasure of rounding up 5 films to check out at TIFF for NUVO— VIFF piece to come soon, too 👀 nuvomagazine.com/daily-edit/5...

New episode of Rewind & Revive has finally dropped. Van Padilla and I cover Andrzej Żuławski’s On the Silver Globe. The film is messy, it’s passionate, it’s everything I love about cinema <3 open.spotify.com/episode/4Kce...

After my recent rewatch of On the Silver Globe, I got my hands on The Lunar Trilogy — finally found a translated copy and keen to see how it compares to the film

Seijun Suzuki’s A Tale of Sorrow & Sadness (1977) channels his decade in TV and advertising into a lurid satire of fame, consumerism, and the parasocial gaze — drenched in color-drunk surrealism. I wrote an essay about it here: www.rewindandrevive.com/p/on-the-gre...

Opening testimonial by Preston Sturges for 1955’s Dementia

Loved chatting about His Motorbike, Her Island with @emmaoftheimpact.bsky.social 🫶

The Rewind & Revive podcast is in full swing, folks! Today, I’m chatting with Harry and Ash of the Love, Death & Movies pod about Mario Bava’s Danger: Diabolik youtu.be/jPRHY7tcOf0?...

mini-haul I’m very excited to dig into (particularly the Seijun Suzuki release!!)

I had so much fun chatting about The Last Unicorn with @movieruntime.bsky.social! First time watch for me, and I’m so glad I finally crossed it off my watchlist ✨

After some technical fumbles this afternoon, I’m pleased to report that Rewind & Revive’s first podcast episode is now up on Spotify/Apple/Substack/YT :) it’s a quick half hour chat, but it truly feels great to be back on the mic youtu.be/8HZXlJI9pWE?...

After watching Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion & The 10th Victim, I’ve become a Petri fan and so eager to explore more. A supplemental reading pick-up has followed 🙂‍↕️

Such a lovely discussion and a pleasure to come on the podcast! 🙏

Tomorrow on #TheSubstancePod! Safe to say that @martamcfly.bsky.social and I enjoyed more than our boy Rog’

After watching Beat Takeshi’s newest release, Broken Rage, I felt inspired to do a lil dive into his work :) this was so much fun to write! www.rewindandrevive.com/p/laughter-v...

My uber driver is playing strictly Joe Hisaishi scores from Ghibli films. Perhaps the fastest 5/5 rating I’ll ever give

Dropping a quick lunch break read for you today 👀 www.rewindandrevive.com/p/a-love-let...

Kicking off my first think piece over at Rewind & Revive with a film very dear to me: Yoshimitsu Morita’s Haru from 1996 🥹 www.rewindandrevive.com/p/a-time-cap...

Overdue update — I’ve finally launched my own publication: Rewind & Revive! Come celebrate forgotten films, timeless classics, and whatever else I cook up :) rewindandrevive.com

Caught a double-bill of In the Mood for Love and 2046 and I am uncertain when I’ll recover from this all-encompassing sadness (but let me do it all over again).

Tuesday 8e/7c/6m/5p. LOST HIGHWAY by David Lynch (RIP) @martamcfly.bsky.social & @rayyvana.bsky.social join us! Tune in & subscribe for reminders: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GShI... #filmSky 📽️ @alwaysflacko.bsky.social @cosmepolitics.bsky.social @neutron.bsky.social @movieruntime.bsky.social

Eeep, thank you to MVD Entertainment & Radiance Films for this delivery! As a huge Suzuki fan, the release of Underworld Beauty excites me greatly, while Weak Spot will be my first Fleischmann watch. Release date for these is 27/1 — reviews to come from me, too 🤝

This one hurts too much. At a loss for words. Rest in peace, David Lynch 🤍

Finally experienced *my* musical event of the year — catching The Umbrellas of Cherbourg restoration 🥹☔️ I am an emotional mess after it, but hey, par for the course with this one.

Wrapping up a perfect weekend of movie-watching with this iconic gem

Speechless. What a picture. What an experience.

So incredibly breathtaking on the big screen.

We have named our five best tv shows of 2024! Click link to see where shows like The Penguin, Fallout, Mr and Mrs Smith and more all rank! www.cascadiacritics.com/2024/12/casc...

Next month. Big screen. Say less.

1996’s Haru was one of my favourite first-time watches of this year. Since it’s impossible to find anywhere besides YT, I had to snag a physical copy, which just arrived the other day 🥹

I forget that in times of high stress, I should probably just chill out and revisit a Kiarostami film, which will inevitably make me feel better. boxd.it/85frG3

👋 The Cascadia Film & Television Critics Association that I am a part of has named our top ten movies of 2024! Each film has an advocate of someone in our group who ranked the film highly on their list. Check it out here: www.cascadiacritics.com/2024/12/casc...

Quite enjoyed this tonight — still a few more screenings available if you’re in Vancouver :)

Guested on the Filmsplaining Pod to discuss four films tackling “Love on the Run” — this was a treat! open.spotify.com/episode/3axg...

A precursor to so much J-horror to come and such an underrated gem: My ★★★★ review of Psychic Vision: Jaganrei on @letterboxd: boxd.it/7RUoSL

Balm for the spirit. Haru evokes a bittersweet sadness for the simplicity of the internet’s infancy — a wistfulness for how easy the digital age once was. My ★★★★★ review of Haru on @letterboxd: boxd.it/7Ru8Y7

Tonight: We were joined by @martamcfly.bsky.social to cover Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s WORLD ON A WIRE. A 1973 sci-fi masterpiece that predated the Matrix, Blade Runner, Tron, Videodrome &… the Sims? @movieruntime.bsky.social @cosmepolitics.bsky.social #FilmSky 📽️ www.youtube.com/live/00vQ0i1...

So excited to be covering this one again this year!!

I’ve been struck by an out-of-the-blue desire to film a video recreating all of Jeanne Dielman’s dishes and may actually embark on this journey nobody asked for 🥔

This makes me so happy!! What a wonderfully relaxing Sunday this sounds like.

Here we go again. Now watching:

One of my personal faves of the year. Definitely try and catch this one ASAP!

#ARealPain allows us to float along a sea of unresolved emotions without pressure to find the shore. To sit in the ambiguity, to laugh through the pain, & to accept that sometimes, the act of bearing witness—both to our own grief & to the histories of those who came before us—is enough.

Ooooh, everyone’s joining in on the fun here and so will I. A perfect opportunity to shamelessly plug my top 50 faves on @letterboxd.social, as having a top four gives me more stress than I’d like to admit. boxd.it/Ahpny
