Funny you should mention the idea of a double feature of Titane with Christine -
I recently had the absolute joy of attending a double feature screening in Manchester UK of Titane (my first viewing) followed directly by Pixar's Cars (2006). It was one of the craziest, most hilarious moviegoing experiences I've ever had. Fun people, good cinema, great times. Highly recommend hosting that one if you're looking for ideas.
Lets go manny! Yh titane is a madness
what cinema was this at omg
dying to know what cinema hosted this
Hahahah!! That is so funny!
Really wanna watch Tar- the fact that it doesn’t get a UK release til February is infuriating
In Brazil (my country) it'll release in January. I'm running from spoilers and explanations til there
Hello fellow person from the UK. I agree, but what I will say is that with the buzz it's getting, I imagine the release date will be pushed forward a bit. For example, I'm pretty sure Banshees of Inisherin was not supposed to be released this week, but it was pushed forward due to its buzz. Still a shame, but I imagine we are looking more at end of December/early Jan than we are February. We'll see
The depression hit me when i searched it up i saw a 20th of jan release date
arrr me hearty
Ugh me too I want to watch it so bad😭
Simply amazing that every few movies we get a new month for Karsten to review
Good lord Karsten knows how to go into detail with such little dialogue, what a talent he is. Incredible
So glad you loved Aftersun. Paul Mescal suddenly became a favorite of mine when I was floored by his screen presence in his few scenes in The Lost Daughter. I then watched him in Normal People to discover that the particular allure he immediately conveyed in The Lost Daugher is utterly consistent. I'm always facinated by actors who can convey so much inner life in such an understated manner. It's like the camera can see straight into their being. I love your monthly recaps because they always contain a healthy handful of must-see's.
"convey so much in an understated manner" makes me think of Ryan Gosling. I think Paul Mescal and Ryan Gosling have this in common
You should REALLY watch God’s Creatures, his other A24 movie this year. I saw it at Cannes and it’s remained one of my favorites all year. Seriously.

By editing your comment you lost your ❤ that Karsten gave your comment 😢 #NeverForget
@@ThaBotmon NOOOOOOOO
KARSTEN!!! Your Letterboxd is one of the biggest reasons I’ve seen as many movies as I have this month. Thank you!!!
I saw Aftersun at the end of September and I still feel like crying every time I think about it. I can't get it out of my head.
I’ve seen it five times and added it to my personal top 10 favorites despite it being a new release. I’m addicted to how vulnerable the movie makes me feel.
I saw Tár the other day. It's the first movie I've seen this year that I know 100% will be nominated for Best Picture and Best Actress. It's not my favorite of the year, but it's very good.
What is your favorite film of the year?
Blanchett will win
I think Everything, Everywhere, All at Once will also get that distinction.
How does it feel to be DEAD right
im so hyped for aftersun feels like everyone who watches it absolutely loves it
I just watched Tár yesterday and I honestly haven’t seen a film that captivating in YEARS. The contrast between the other people in the audience being like “That sucked” and me being like “Fuck yeah movies rule” was hilarious
Funny you say that. I honestly REALLY wanted to like it and I’m in love with all of the individual elements, but I left kind of unsatisfied. I thought that the big climax was kind of rushed through considering the great sense of tension trickling all throughout and Lydia’s decent into surreal paranoia that felt like it didn’t really go anywhere. I also saw a lot of Eyes Wide Shut echoing through Tar which was nice.
Karsten’s videos are always detailed and in-depth. It’s interesting to see his perceptions towards the films he watched in October.
amongle pgp
You keep commenting the same shit
Uh mongoose
Triangle of Sadness RULES! I went alone to see it in and even still I think it was my favourite theatre experience ever. See it in a packed theatre if you can!!
I second this, my audience at the New Zealand International Film Festival had such an amazing time
I third this! Watched this in a packed theatre in Singapore and loved it.
it’s gone from theatres but i wish someone told me to not eat watching the movie
i always look forward to these every ending of the month
Aftersun and All the beauty and the bloodshed are my most anticipated movies of the year, super excited that you loved them so much!
God, I can't stop thinking about TAR. Probably going to be my movie of the year.
Cate Blanchett was legendary
guys i think karsten might have gone to the chicago international film festival but not sure tho
I finally got around to seeing The Whale this month at the Montclair film festival in New Jersey and really loved it! Anyone who’s rooting for Brendan Fraser to come back is about to be blown away because man…what a performance. Truly cant wait for it to hit the wide release
Just watched your short film, ‘Dirtbag’, and I have to say - I enjoyed it. I think the concept was very good and original, something I would have liked to come up with. I think there were some nicely composed shots, especially some of the establishing ones.
I also found the offbeat dialogue/humor really funny and kind of heart warming. All in all, I think you’ve got a really good eye for what should be made today, and I’m excited to see your progression. Cheers!
P.S. I like your significant use of still shots. They’re so underrated these days IMO, and I think you utilized them quite well. It matched the offbeat, dry, atmosphere you created.
This video needs to be watched at THE CHICAGO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL!
True, Woman in the Dunes should be talked more about, I'm honestly surprised how little attention it gets. Ever since I've seen it I thought this would be the movie I would like to do a remake of if I was a director.
I could see a re-adaptation but a straight up remake? Nah, let perfection stay perfect.
I got to see aftersun at tiff and it absolutely destroyed me!! feel like I understood everything with every fibre of my being
I don't comment a lot on youtube, but I saw your short film dirtbag and it was actually really, really great. Usually not a fan of short films as well but this was really tight as a story, just enough metaphors that can be derived from it and still very accessible. Thanks man, really glad to see people my age really diving into their craft.
I don't really keep track month by month what I watch - cos while I'm a film nerd I rarely watch a 'new' film. But I absolutely adored The Worst Person In The World, The Love Witch and The Souvenir Part II (this one in particular was incredible!)
What keeps me going each month 😂
same, I used to watch a lot of movies, but now at uni, I have less time, still, I watch these videos and fill my list of movies with more and more things to see
Literally
Same here!
Karsten is my favorite little freak of RUclips film criticism
i had a coughing fit during tar & went to the bathroom to calm down and when i sat in the theater it started up again so i left :( can't wait to see the second half some day
this series is my ultimate comfort, watch-while-eating-my-sandwich-on-my-lunch-break series. karsten reviewing movies is my soothing asmr
I really enjoy hearing the excitement in your voice when talking about movies you enjoyed. We need more of that in our world 🌎
Highly recommend reading the White Noise book! I’d say that 80% of the movie’s dialogue is pulled straight from the book, and it’s probably the most faithful adaptation of a book that I’ve seen (plus it’s just a fun read)
I actually managed to watch A LOT this month so my films are:
Moonage Daydream - 4.5/5
Avatar - 3.5/5
Drag Me To Hell - 4/5
The Hunger - 3.5/5
A Matter of Life and Death - 4/5
Train To Busan - 4/5
The Woman King - 4/5
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - 4/5
An American Werewolf In London - 4/5
Don't Worry Darling - 2/5
The Ladykillers ('55) - 3.5/5
28 Days Later - 4.5/5
Hocus Pocus - 3/5
Jennifer's Body - 4/5
American Psycho (REWATCH) - 5/5
The Craft - 3.5/5
A Hard Day's Night - 3.5/5
My Beautiful Laundrette - 3/5
Werewolf By Night - 3.5/5
X - 2/5
oh god A Matter of Life and Death is a beautiful film. Favourite opening of all time.
@@themothermarkos We had to watch it as part of my University course in a module about British Cinema and was delightfully surprised at how much I loved it! Truly an incredibly charming film!
I swear to God every time I see a Karsten what I watched this month video I get worried because I know my watch list is just gonna grow with each video to an absurd level
I agree with Aftersun probably being the movie of the year (probably after Everything Everywhere All at Once)
I watched Toy Story of Terror, Nope, Black Adam, Shutter Island, Nightmare on Elm street, and the mummy, as well as the Mummy returns
Edit; forgot about werewolf by night, and Hocus Pocus 2
can’t wait to hear your thoughts on Barbarian
these videos are so addicting
Just saw Tar, you did an excellent job of summarizing it. Blanchette is the best performance of the year for me.
Great month! I’m gonna be able to see Triangle of Sadness tomorrow so it unfortunately didn’t make my October list.
Glad you finally saw Christine, i've always found it to be one of Carpenter's best movies and it doesn't ever seem to get ranked that way. On every level - visual, characterization, pacing. And characters you can actually feel something for.
I agree that Mandy loses a LOT of its apparent slowness on a second watch. Also, absolutely magnificent when stoned ;)
As for dance party endings, have you ever seen Apple Pie? Nothing else comes close.
I saw Aftersun last week when it finally released in my area and I think it's probably the best fillm of 2022 so far
i cannot wait to see TAR. and i'm furious that we don't even have a release date yet here in korea.
but i watched aftersun and paul is going to get an oscar nomination. i can't get enough of this man.
I know a lot of people didn't gel with White Noise, but I actually really liked it. I only read a tiny blurb about the premise surrounding a town facing a chemical leak, and was not expecting it to be so much more than that. Definitely a flawed movie in certain sections, but I really loved the absurdity of it. Can't wait to rewatch when it gets a full release. Also that end credit scene is *chefs kiss*.
I absolutely fell in love with Aftersun though. It's funny because I'm usually a HUGE horror fan, but my two favourite movies of the year (Aftersun and Close) are both extremely emotional A24 movies. Love me some A24 horror movies like Pearl, X, Bodies x3 etc, but Aftersun and Close completely blew me away. I guess I just really loved crying this year lol.
As for other notable movies I watched this month, The Banshees on Inisherin (5/5), The Menu (4.5/5 LOVED this one), Shoplifters (4.5/5) Häxan (4/5 and one of my new favourite documentaries ever), Barbarian (3.5/5) and the new Hellraiser (3.5/5). I wont even get into the horrible or meh ones I watched this month because there were A LOT (looking at you Grimcutty and Halloween Ends).
“It doesn’t make sense but who cares!”
Previously unsaid sentences on film RUclips. Subscribed.
Films I watched this month:
Cool Hand Luke - 4/5
Poltergeist - 3.5/5
In the Mouth of Madness - 3.5/5
Vampyr - ?/5
Men (rewatch) - 4.5/5
not a ton of movies but definitely some pretty good stuff
8:05 kudos on the cut from the poster to the in-film footage here, honestly a very filmic, directorial move for a video essay
This is actually the most I watched in October:
Murder Inc (Music Docuseries) [3.5/5]
Prey (4/5)
Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror (4/5)
She-Hulk (3.5/5)
Werewolf by Night (4/5)
Death Note (4.5/5)
Naruto (almost done)
Clerks 3 (4/5)

Pearl (4/5)
Terrifier (2.5/5)
Terrifier 2 (3/5)
Barbarian (4.5/5)

Wendell & Wild (4/5)
Raw is one my new favorite movies, I can’t get over how unsettling satisfying this creepy ass movie is
Catch Me If You Can is my all time favourite film. So entertaining, so much heart and great performances. Glad you enjoyed it.
I don't know if you read comments, nor do I know if you take recommendations, but I highly recommend the Brazilian film Good Manners.
I also watched movies this month karsten
Black Adam may have not been perfect but it was a really fun watch and I am definitely looking forward to what comes next and I don't say that with most movie's
“I just like this movie.”
Sometimes that’s all you need.
this is my only sense of time passing and I appreciate it
Always love these videos. It would be neat if you listed all the moves in the description with their respective stream options linked by the name. Just a thought to streamline the series ??
I’m so so excited for Aftersun!!!!
I love this channel I get a lot of great recommendation for movies and shows.
Damn, is this what it feels like to be early? Anyway, Karsten's monthly round up of movies he's watched is my indicator if another month has passed. Lol.
5:15 Man Woman in the Dunes is such an underrated movie. It really just lingers with you and that ending felt so right. I love both this and Teshigahara's other film The Face of Another, however the third movie in that trilogy, Man without a Map, wasn't as good in my opinion.
I saw Triangle of Sadness this past Sunday and I love it. It’s one of my favorite films of 2022 and the funniest film too. Sad that Charlbi Dean Kriek has passed away, she was really good in this film and was going to be in a lot for projects.
Beau Travail is one of my absolute favorites! Glad you appreciated it and I would love a stand-alone video on it!
Woman in the Dunes!!! That movie is awesome. I remember watching this movie for a film class in college and i grabbed a few pf my buddies to wach it with me and we all loved it. Fun watch!
I remember watching Raw a few years ago, pretty well made movie, definitely kept me invested.
RAW will always be GOATED! Also. JUST make a full length Red Rocket review man.
This month I watched,
*Breaking Bad* - 9.5/10
Amazing and Lived up to the hype.
*Bhramastra:Part One* - 5.5/10
Visuals and Action Sequences were amazing, story could've been done a lot better.
*Black Adam* - 5.5/10
It was fun and fine.
*Memento* - 9/10
One of the most unique and interesting premise executed very well. One of Nolan's best works in my opinion.
*Se7en* - 10/10
My favourite thriller and one of my favourite movies ever made. Acting, Cinematography, Story, Direction, etc., everything was top-notch.
*Vinland Saga* - 9.5/10
Just Beautiful. Simply Brilliant. Watch it now. Season 2 is coming this January.
*Kantara* - 7/10
It is the most hyped thing in India right now. I think it was good but not that great.
*Zodiac* - 9/10
It was very different than expected but I love it. The documentry style was a nice decision considering the story. I HAVE to check Fincher's other works this November.
*The Host (The Korean One)* - 7.5/10
Kinda disappointed. It couldn't match my excitement with Bong Jong-Hoo's other works Parasite and Memories of Murder. Still a really good monster flick and every one should check this out atleast once.
*The Killing of a Sacred Deer* - 8.5/10
One of the weirdest and unsettling movies I've ever seen. Brilliant performances. The score may increase if I re-watch it.
*OldBoy (The Original One)* - 10/10
Speechless. Can't put my words why I love this movie so much. It's just feel like a thunder caught in a bottle.
*Blade Runner 2049* - 9.5/10
Amazing, Stunning and Beautiful.
Just stumbled upon your channel an Im not binging everything. Love your explanations, simple visuals an calming voice. Just subscribed, keep it up brotha👌🏼🤙🏻🙌🏼
Quiet on the western front, it was made in 1930 and actual ww1 vets helped write it, it’s fantastic. They also made a remake on Netflix it came out on the 28th but I haven’t watched that yet
Dirtbag is terrific, man. Haven't seen a short film I've... enjoyed... in a while? Love it

*And Then We Danced* was such a beautifully well-made movie. This year I saw another great Georgian movie: *What Do We See When We Look At The Sky* (Aleksandre Koberidze). Highly recommended! 😻
The handmaiden is such a wonderful adaptation and movie on it's own, I'll just never watch it with my younger sister again (shes 19 so its alright, just very, VERY awkward).
Autumn Sonata is great!
@@anwarski Thank you so much for the rec. Putting it up on my watchlist!

Please do an analysis on Aftersun. That movie is probably my favorite of the year.
Red Rocket was similar to The Florida Project for me, where the cinema was powerful but the subject matter was so stomach wrenching I can't see myself watching it again soon.
I've been a Simon Rex fan from his comedy appearances though so it was interesting see how dynamic he could be as a performer.
Congrats on your short film.
the first two child`s play movies are seriously underrated , they are way better than most slashers tbh.
Catch me if you can is a 5/5 most rewatchable movie of all time imo

Hi, it would be great if you could keep the name of the movie on the screen when you are talking about it because by the time you finish talking about it, I forget the name of the movie, it would be more convenient to have it on the screen, thanks

Thumbs up for Child's Play. Still holds up.
do jim jarmusch ranked fast pls he is coming after me please save me
😅😅
please send help he broke my door and shot my dog this is serious
one thing i understoof after seeing this video is that dude really hates Adam McKay lmao
I get that black Adam isn't exactly a thought provoking masterclass of film but how is it that every film nerd (and I say film nerd lovingly cuz I love both you and your channel and have gotten great recommendations from it) on the internet just has to shit on it cuz it's not the next parasite or midsommar, cuz that's not what it was meant to be, are movies not allowed to just be fun anymore cuz it has fun for DAYS
Long shot for an old comment, but here was what I had to write after seeing Tar:
Composing a lie
Silence. The concrete walls in her home, of which, the layout baring stark resemblance to the labyrinth of compartmentalization in her mind are also similar to the encoded messages she keeps receiving from a mysterious sender. Lydia is calculated, to the very second, she is under the illusion, the very same she explains in an interview, of her control of time. She tolerates everything around her unless she can control it. Every move she makes, every breath she uses, she is calculating how it can all fall under her spell, her need for complete control of the situation. A pen clicking is a death sentence, an assist alarm for a sick fallen elderly is a hymn, the extinguishing of a flame is her rhythm. Where sound exists it’s hers to control. Lydia creates so many mazes in which she can lose her thoughts, her demons and her guilt, that when she is unable to navigate the thread-like grasp of control in her life she is confronted from all angles the darkest secrets of her mind. It isn’t until the illusion is broken that she is unable to regain any sense of strength or identity and under the weight, she collapses, no longer recognizable as the cool, calm, collected sense of self. Everything is a crashing crescendo until the final drop of fading notes of anything of once herself slowly slipping deeper into the darkness. Linda is no longer able to keep her composure, her mask, her lie. She stands alone orchestrating an empty room desperate to maintain any idea of what once was. But no longer. In total silence. Just the way she likes it.
I'd love to hear your thoughts about La Flor (the longest movie ever made)
My short list of October watches:
3 Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri - 1/5
10 Things I Hate About You - 5/5
Disconnect - 1.5/5
Kajillionaire - 5/5
Memories of Murder - 4.5/5
The Watermelon Woman - 4/5
I've also been watching/rewatching a bunch of shows - one of them that I've not seen before is The Walking Dead and that's been taking a lot of effort to get into. I'm near the end of season 3 now!
damn why 1/5 for three billboards
@@egoncholakianfan I just really didn't like some of the characters and some other stuff! There's comments on letterboxd (specifically Melissa Tamminga's) that put my dislike of this film into better words but for example with Bill it just felt very off with how he was supposed to be perceived as good because he has cancer?? He literally ignored the fact a Black man had been tortured in custody. It was all just very strange to me. Idk I just hate the police but the film felt like it didn't explore how bad they are enough

If you ever have the chance to watch "The Kings of the World" (Los Reyes del Mundo) by Laura Mora, it's a colombian roadtrip drama that is full of symbolism, empathy and delightful visuals.
It's one of the best movies I've ever seen and it tore me apart several times with its beautifully narrated story.
