Dead Talents Society《鬼才之道》(2024)

Interesting, but it's a bit muted for my tastes.

Don't Cry, Butterfly (2024)

Watched this when I was already dozing off even before the show started.

Managed to catch bits of it as I drifted in and out of consciousness. I didn't get the symbolism of the water. There were some interesting visuals. I didn't really get the story. A very art film, but not the type where the camera lingers.

The Electric State (2025)

I don't really buy into the reality or premise of the story world, but it's got some entertainment value of the generic kind.

Nosferatu (2024)

Interesting interpretation of the Nosferatu story. I'm fascinated by the film making, but was not that engaged on an entertainment level.

Anora (2024)

Love it!

My favorite line - "I don't have Instagram. I'm an adult, man."

The supporting characters were great! Toros was so funny! Yura was great too!

And Annie was not bad too. Can see why this film earned the performance accolades.

Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975)

Glad to have caught this 4K restoration of the film. Amazed that it's 50 years old, and the story within the film is set in 1900.

Overall, not too bad. Story is kind of simple but diverts towards human nature rather than resolving the mystery, which remains a mystery even at the end of the film.

Cocaine Bear (2023)

It's okay. Not entirely my cup of tea.
