before sunrise
julie delpy and ethan hawke in richard linklater’s 1995 before sunrise. the first film in what is now probably my favorite trilogy. consider them, to say the least. by sv

here’s the trailer from abel ferrara’s 1981 exploitation film about a beautiful mute girl, and the tumultuous events surrounding her over the course of a few days in the pre-Giuliani-sex-ridden new york city. starring the late zoe tamerlis-lund, she gives a hilariously awkward and sexy performance. ferrara can be a bit too gritty for me sometimes, but having the pleasure of seeing this over the weekend with great company was certainly a night of joy. by sv
film
i know beckett isn’t for everyone, but i still laugh out loud every time i read waiting for godot; and of course, what’s not to love about buster keaton? a pastiche of buñuel, gary baseman, cocteau and hitchcock with an impulsive disposition. film is a film to preserve experience and cohesively explore beckett’s paradigms through the movements of a silent genius. by sv

la montagne sacrée
ce movie est étrange, but man, it stays with you for a long time afterwards. a beautiful french poster for the film that’s chock full of tarot, jesus christ, and all those other taboo and absurd topics! thank you mr. jodorowsky, and thank you to the lovely lil for letting me bother and interrupt for my translations 😉 by sv
all the way faye
bonnie at her best. renegade inspiration. let’s start a revolution. by sv
only god forgives
booed at cannes, set in painstakingly dark bangkok bordellos (in every sense of the word), featuring very little dialogue and with a stupefying kristin scott thomas to boot, this is definitely a film to be considered. by sv
