i have to keep shinya tsukamoto alive forever

#film 📽️ linda linda linda 'リンダ リンダ リンダ', 2005, dir. nobuhiro yamashita w/ @toujourstafille.bsky.social. has to count among the best movies about being young ever made. it did not feel like a teen movie- which is part of its greatness, its characters were real people. so beautiful and warm.

had taro flavored mochi today.... i want taro flavored everything now

#film 📽️ woman of water '水の女', 2002, dir. hidenori sugimori. adored this one, really connected to it and was in awe at how much warmth there was in the loneliness & grief, it takes skill to craft unique emotional landscapes like this.

@shattershield.bsky.social smile 2???????? jesus christ dude. awesome

#film 📽️ early monthly segments, 2003, dir. robert beavers

2nd ear infection in 10 days........... its enough slices man

#film 📽️ peking opera blues '刀馬旦', 1986, dir. tsui hark. an incredibly fun and dynamic spy film. from the other tsui's i've seen i knew he's very skilled at using gender performance (& gendered violence) as storytelling frameworks and this is one of his best in that regard. rec

this place is the mines of moria for people who say “superb owl.” tread with the utmost care

#film 📽️ love letter 'ラブレター', 1995, dir. shunji iwai. really beautiful 🥹

rach @nopickls.bsky.social and i are doing twin peaks dates on sundays now so i made an image for the occasion

#film 📽️ sexy beast, 2000, dir. jonathan glazer. rewatch. this was glazers feature debut after having only directed commercials!!! banger debut. one of the coolest hottest tightest screenplays ever. i Love a good subversive heist movie

rewatching a perfect movie

#film febs looking like this so far. hated nosferatu truly a nothingburger, les blank's a well spent life was incredible and so was frank perry's the swimmer, house was such earnest fun! im not turning out to be the biggest nobuhiko fan BUT there's a joyous earnestness to his works i do really adore

#film 📽️ favorite first time watches of january! lots of shorts, lots experimental, lots of benning. really fun month, i usually have a rough watchlist for the week but i let curiosity and obsessions take me wherever this month!

ponkys been requesting like 4 hours of being held like a baby every day recently so i got a proper baby sling 😌 she likes it.. esp bc it holds her in the perfect way for her to do her favorite thing...tuck her head under my chin

this cat fountain has brought me nothing but rage and pain

#film 📽️ a.k.a. serial killer '略称連続射殺魔', 1975, dir. masao adachi. adachi, fellow marxist, uses landscape to examine the political and economic factors that drive somebody to murder, nothing is apolitical, nothing has no effect on our development and poverty is state violence. rec.

we're so back baby

#film 📽️ pastoral: to die in the country '田園に死す', 1974, dir. shuji terayama. quite an interesting exploration of memory, growing up in and "after" fascism in japan and how to deal and reconstruct that as not only a person but also as an artist. i want to see this one again one day.

i dont have the rewatchers temperament at all but im craving a movie thats so good i immediately go to rewatch it. and also the movie should feel like how jazz makes me feel. a lot to ask

i did discover takashi ito for myself this week, i dont even know how he did what he did before digital. watched kurosawa's dreams which i liked 30 minutes of, watched gakuryu ishii's angel dust and tokyo blood- enjoyed tokyo blood. i think i'll watch pastoral: to die in the country today..

craving a movie thatll blow my socks off...

discovering stainless steel pans at age 26....why the fuck do we use anything else

vanilla apple tea.......gorgeous

#film 📽️ still walking '歩いても 歩いても', 2008, dir. hirokazu koreeda w/ @sublimepigeon.bsky.social a koreeda right after waking up will not stave off the demons for the day thats for sure. incredibly delicate exploration of patriarchal violence w/in the family and how we navigate and perpetuate it. rec

#film 📽️ in the mood for love '花樣年華' 2000, dir. wong kar wai. backs walking down hallways, to a room- to a memory. bodies and memories fragmented by windows and mirrors, rehearsals to give structure and control to desire. the memories keep the time. as good as they say. TONY LEUNG !

#film 📽️ also watched tetsuo: the iron man '鉄男', 1989, dir. shinya tsukamoto yesterday. a fetish dream. a lot of it was up my alley re: body politics, eroticism, body modification in wake of guilt and turmoil, pipe strap on. PENIS ENVY BABY !!!! but i didnt connect to it how i wanted to :( rec though

we're soooo lucky gena and john fell in love...

i've really been enjoying films about theatre + opera troupes, performing, acting, filmmaking.. ouroboros cinema
