There's something charming about listening to Dakota talk about the pleasures of cinema. I would have thought you a Dorothy Gale wearing red shoes in the by like Little Red Riding Hood, but now I know you wear those footwear because of an oldie, 'The Red Shoes.' Red lips, life has truly come full circle🔴
the use of color and framing in these films are so so important to me. we eat with our eyes first, so they say. and a movie that goes along with that and changed how i see art and expression is House (Hausu). it’s classified as a horror movie but its nonsense/experimentation is more goofy camp psychedelia than horror and a good reminder that you can make whatever you want, however you can - a reminder i often need. xoxo
if you loved daisies i highly recommend the french movie Celine and Julie go boating (1974) it’s got that intense female friendship, magic motifs and a meta narrative structure (i’m not sure how else i’d describe the plot)
don't know if this comment matters but i just found your channel after never really finding any female film nerds like me and especially since i hold some of your mentioned films very dear to my heart, i can't wait to delve into these recommendations apart from that, i love how visually pleasing and beautiful your videos are made!!
i used to feel the same about horror, until i really dug deep and realised horror can be beautiful and deep and meaningful and really i just was not giving the genre enough of a chance/watching the horror films that don’t really have a plot. the first filmmaker i recommended checking out (who made two films that changed my life) is julia ducourneau. she’s still a relatively new director, but my god is her art beautiful. there’s something so heartwarming about her movies, despite them being horror
I think you should check out Ingmar Bergman’s filmography! He’s a Swedish director whose films tick a lot of your boxes; old movies (he started in the 40s), beautiful, weird, makes you think etc!
Gosh you mentioned some of my personal favorites and from there on anything you recommend I was like YES, added. It is so heart warming finding content about certain tastes haha. Thanks!
Dakota please watch Candy (2006) if you haven't already. Its better than Requiem for a Dream, but with beautiful people doing terrible things but also loving each other.
I think you would love "Syk pike"! Norwegian black comedy from 2022 (sick girl). About a girl pretending to be sick for attention. Oh, and "Oslo 31. august" also Joachim Trier. Oslo is so dreamy in that film. Love from Norway
Hey, I really like your movie list! It's a lot like mine. Here are some *recommendations* you might like: In the Mood for Love, Paris, Texas, Frances Ha, Detachment, The Rose of Cairo, Phoenix, La Belle Personne, and Afire.
I don't think there is any chance for Dakota to see this, but in a way it doesn't matter that much. Movies that I (stranger on the internet) would recommend to you based on your list: Corsage (2022) -- for Vicky Krieps, cinematography, off beat main character Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019) -- for cinematography, relationship Burning (2018) -- Murakami short story adaptation Only Lovers Left Alive (2013) -- for vibes, vampires, cinematography, existentialism Once Upon a Time in Anatolia (2011) -- Nuri Bilge Ceylan's best film, it's like reading good literature Something to Remind Me (2001) -- noir, thriller Fallen Angels (1995) -- vibes, cinematography Taipei Story (1985) -- cinematography, melancholy Paris, Texas (1984) -- vibes, female lead, cinematography, that one scene in the last third of the movie Possession (1981) -- relationship, weird, horror but not traditional Persona (1966) -- existential, weird La Jetée (1962) -- short, unique Harvey (1950) -- because everyone should watch Harvey Meshes of the Afternoon (1943) -- short, everything from Maya Deren is an easy recommendation for Dakota
A resent film that changed my life was “La sociedad de la nieve” or “The society of the snow” in English. Maybe because its a story from my own country and my people, but I was so shocked and frightened by it that after watching it I spent two days in bed truly depressed. Incredible movie, I don’t know if I’ll be able to watch it ever again…but I want to
Harold and Maude is the film that changed the way I think about cinema. I saw it quite young and it opened my eyes to what great filmmaking could be. A beautiful love story. If you haven’t seen it please put it on your list.
you should give horror a better try😭😭some recs based on your vibe: eyes without a face, valerie and her week of wonders, bride of frankenstein, possession, carrie, the exorcist!!!!, twin peaks, cat people, creature from the black lagoon
@@aliiiiiiit i mean i guess theres some horror elements^^ but i'd personally call it more thriller + supernatural and well due to your reminder fwwm could be categorised as psycological horror due to it being a "victims perspective" prequel
dont let the haters get to you this is meaningful and inspiring work, and profound in the most charming way besides how sweet you are, your articulate vocabulary and certain artistic eyes, gets me out of bed with great inspiration, and it reminds of my pursuit for beauty, abundant and generous in this world but this world has not been kind, and now nearing my 5th year engineering degree, I find your channel and other creators me through these final army-like experience of discipline, crippling anxiety, low self esteem and fear of the future but I am steadfast and will return victorious.
U SHOULD WATCH IN TIME. SUCH A FANTASTIC ONE IF A KIND MOVIE. I’ve watched it soo many times and everytime I discover a new reason to why i like it so much. Also the butterfly effect. Its gonna be ur roman empire
You may have already seen it, but I feel like you would appreciate the film Funeral Parade of Roses. My brain connects that movie with Daisies as a kind of unofficial pair for some reason. Some of the films that deeply influenced who I am as a person are Donnie Darko, Angel's Egg, and August in the Water. I'll have to give it a few years to see how much it sticks with me but I think Poor Things also had a very big impact on me.
Last Night, starring Don McKellar and Sandra Oh, an independent Canadian film, is another end of the world movie that will rock the way you think about the apocalypse. Sad, funny, thought-provoking, elliptical. Worth seeing.
Hi Dakota! I've always wanted to pursue my dream of creating book reviews, and now, thanks to the inspiration your channel has given me, have taken the first step and uploaded a video.
dakota! i have a REALLY GREAT recommendation for you: the japanese new wave film funeral parade of roses (1969) directed by toshio matsumoto. it is said that this movie inspired kubrick's a clockwork orange (which is also one of my favorite movies of all time) and there are many parallels throughout the film that i see in ACO. the cinematic imagery and experimentation is ABSOLUTELY haunting, beautiful, brilliant, horrowing, eerie, psychosexual. it follows the lives of trans women and other queer people and their social circles in 60s underground tokyo. it is also a "modern parody of oedipus rex." the plot is deconstructed and scattered, but by the end you piece things together. please look up trigger warnings for this film because the ending is brutal. the movie is an unforgettable insight into the highs and lows of queer life at the time. this film is looking straight in the eyes of camp's oldest mature sister.
I didn’t even consider watching The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971) until recently when I came across some movie stills. Oh my gosh, it lives up to the hype. I tried putting it on as background noise but I couldn’t look away. It pulls the viewer in as soon as it starts. It’s slasher horror but the soundtrack and the visuals make you forget it’s supposed to be a slasher.
I love so many of these films and really have to check out the rest. That part when you said that it honestly could be worse in that age than making "The Royal Tenebaums" your whole personality made me genuinely laugh, because that was me with "Stoker" by Park Chan-wook and yeah, it can definitely be worse I suppose 😂 I'm still so obsessed with that film. I think you could also really like it since it's both very strange and beautifully shot film about growing up and complicated family dynamics.
Dakota, please watch "The Peasants"! It's about poeple doing horrible things because they are people. It's also tightly based on polish novel (kinda long tho). Main character, Jagna is a beautiful 18 years old girl, that every men wants. She romances with some of them, other treat her badly but because she is a woman in the end if 19th century no one believes her, or no one wants to believe her cause it's easier this way. Also, it's not a normal film, it is mad eby hundreds of thousands of paintings, mainly painted by polish or ukrainian artists. The same directors made Loving Vincent! xx
I loved this! I've seen most of these and love that you included The Neon Demon - I always feel like everyone else doesn't like this so it's nice to have company there!
My 13 all time favorite films are Dr. Mabuse the Gambler, Sunrise, either The Rules of the Game or The River, (I go back and forth among these 2 Renoirs), I Walked With a Zombie, The Flowers of St. Francis, Kiss Me Deadly, Vertigo, The Searchers, Touch Of Evil, Shoot the Piano Player, Demy's Lola, Contempt and Goodfellas I'm sure many of you viewers have seen all or most of these. Please feel free to comment on them.
My top movies that shaped me are La Montana Santa (which inspired a lot of the aesthetics for Eyes Wide Shut, also el topo and anything else directed by Jodorowsky), The Underground, Once Upon A Time A Country (these rich Yugoslavians pay this guy to live underground on a bunker while the Nazi are occupying their country, but then the guy with the bunker gets greedy and doesn’t tell them the war is over for decades and then it’s the 90s and the balkans are in war), Poor Things (and anything else directed by yorgos lanthimos especially the lobster and the killing of the sacred deer), The Wall Pink Floyd movie (which is just the album with the most insane visuals to ever be created) and lastly Django and Kill Bill because I love Tarantino and watched from a young age
I felt the need to ask if you have seen Mirrormask? Its more of a young adult film and its about an angsty teenager but its absolutely gorgeous and strange. One of my favs that i never hear talked about.
I hasten to inform you that I have already read a collection of short stories by the Japanese writer Akutagawa Ryunosuke, and then read “Stories in the Palm” of another Japanese writer Yasunari Kawabata. Now I started reading the novel by Junichiro Tanizaki.
Hello, I felt compelled to respond to your review as you casually identified the films that impacted you. In your introduction you expressed a relatable quality of films you like which are ‘strange’ or make you feel strange and I was never a fan of horror. I do like a few of A24’s takes on the genre (Midsommar, Heriditary, Blue Ruin and Green Room.) The latter two are not so much horror, but they are pretty violent while still presented in a different toned down manner and have a different feel. If you are not aware, A24 Studios (2008 - present) has a great oeuvre of films which are great 95% or so of the time. Nevertheless, I am grateful for your recognition of older films as the medium is rather young compared to other art forms like painting and so forth. Although, I have seen most of these films, your review causes me to see them again like most good films. It is refreshing to see a review of films that are mostly on the same frequency as my own. I enjoyed your casual style of review and incidental stories along the way. Thank you and if you have not seen the film “Cold Souls” with Paul Giamatti, I recommend it. Keep on chasing the films that are unique and are an experience to view. Skål from Denmark!
I am not sure if any film has changed the trajectory of my life, except possibly I, Daniel Blake. But there are a few that changed my perception of cinema. 1,The Godfather; 2, Catch 22; 3, A Matter of Life and Death; 4, INLAND EMPIRE; 5, Spirited Away; 6, Funny Games; 7, Of Time and the City
Based on this, a couple of films you may like if you've not seen them: We're All Going to the World's Fair (2021) Best to go into this one without knowing anything about it, I think. Very low-budget with an outstanding lead performance. Pretty Poison (1968) Tuesday Weld and Anthony Perkins being a bit mad together.
I studied daisies in college - at first I thought I hated it, but I gave it a rewatch and it's on my top 100 list for sure. spoilers *** the food fight scene is iconic, the outfits are very mod and the soundtrack is elite. super underrated film
Have you seen Kathryn Morgan's ballet of The Red Shoes? It's on RUclips (about 9 minutes long I think). It's based on the fairy tale, not the movie, but it's beautiful!
Totally off topic, but, I just looked through all your videos to see if you have a video where you are wearing the same hat as in your profile pic…. I would love to see more of said hat. Also in a video related note, “I like things that get under your skin and make you think about them for a long time”. Same
Because you loved The Color of Pomegranates, I believe that you would love The Chess Game of the Wind by Mohammed Reza Alsani, it is from 1976 and was banned in 1979 and the negatives were destroyed until 2015 when they restored a negatives that were found in an antique shop in Tehran.
Hi. Also a movie junkie. I quote movies constantly. Songs too. Hope someone makes a list. You must have watched Les Visiteurs du Soir. I'm not into weird, dysfunctional or freaky, I've been called a "space cadet" all my life, it repulsed me to be labeled such. Loved The Red Shoes. Anton Walbrook very appealing. Also big crush on Conrad Veidt. He was in a strange brit film where he is a stranger who rents a room in a boarding house. I am envious of those who are just discovering films. I am an astronumerologist. Send me your bithdate and l will tell you what you already know but may wonder how l know it. Genesis 1:14.🦂
“beautiful people doing horrible things” there’s quite a few books like that on wattpad [ik ik the judgment is palpable but hey i was a kid] one in particular that’s nice is: the gentleman’s guide to murder
"we need a bookshelf tour!!" we all say in unison
Absolutely
Yess!
My wallet cannot handle that 😭
There's something charming about listening to Dakota talk about the pleasures of cinema. I would have thought you a Dorothy Gale wearing red shoes in the by like Little Red Riding Hood, but now I know you wear those footwear because of an oldie, 'The Red Shoes.'

I am in a part of my life in which hearing about art with passion is extremely important, and having dakota post was just so convenient
if you loved daisies i highly recommend the french movie Celine and Julie go boating (1974) it’s got that intense female friendship, magic motifs and a meta narrative structure (i’m not sure how else i’d describe the plot)
*adds this to my list*
dakota speaks so eloquently about the things she loves!
Lady Dakota! You hit 200k subscribers!! I'm so happy for you! Congratulations
Daisies is directed by Věra Chytilová, Sedmikrásky isn't the director, it's the original title in Czech
Yeah, it is even written on the poster: By Věra Chytilová.
Valerie and her week of wonders!! also czech new wave
don't know if this comment matters but i just found your channel after never really finding any female film nerds like me and especially since i hold some of your mentioned films very dear to my heart, i can't wait to delve into these recommendations
apart from that, i love how visually pleasing and beautiful your videos are made!!

I think you should check out Ingmar Bergman’s filmography! He’s a Swedish director whose films tick a lot of your boxes; old movies (he started in the 40s), beautiful, weird, makes you think etc!
Persona (1966) was coming to mind as I watched this video! Held my breath through much of that film.
Gosh you mentioned some of my personal favorites and from there on anything you recommend I was like YES, added. It is so heart warming finding content about certain tastes haha. Thanks!
Perfume is a great movie as well, loved the book and it’s a rare case where I loved the movie as well. Cheers Dakota!
You may just be the only person in the world to inspire me to read and watch film again. Thank you for sharing the art that inspires you.❤
Wonderful picks!
The Holy Mountain (1973) remains the most outlandish piece I've ever seen.
Dakota please watch Candy (2006) if you haven't already. Its better than Requiem for a Dream, but with beautiful people doing terrible things but also loving each other.
I think you would love "Syk pike"! Norwegian black comedy from 2022 (sick girl). About a girl pretending to be sick for attention. Oh, and "Oslo 31. august" also Joachim Trier. Oslo is so dreamy in that film.
Love from Norway
Watching her talk about her interests so passionately makes me so happy
As someone who's much more into film than books this was perfect for me. I haven't seen any of these but I will check a couple of these out :)
Hey, I really like your movie list! It's a lot like mine. Here are some *recommendations* you might like:
In the Mood for Love, Paris, Texas,
Frances Ha, Detachment,
The Rose of Cairo, Phoenix,
La Belle Personne, and Afire.
I don't think there is any chance for Dakota to see this, but in a way it doesn't matter that much. Movies that I (stranger on the internet) would recommend to you based on your list:
Corsage (2022) -- for Vicky Krieps, cinematography, off beat main character
Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019) -- for cinematography, relationship
Burning (2018) -- Murakami short story adaptation
Only Lovers Left Alive (2013) -- for vibes, vampires, cinematography, existentialism
Once Upon a Time in Anatolia (2011) -- Nuri Bilge Ceylan's best film, it's like reading good literature
Something to Remind Me (2001) -- noir, thriller
Fallen Angels (1995) -- vibes, cinematography
Taipei Story (1985) -- cinematography, melancholy
Paris, Texas (1984) -- vibes, female lead, cinematography, that one scene in the last third of the movie
Possession (1981) -- relationship, weird, horror but not traditional
Persona (1966) -- existential, weird
La Jetée (1962) -- short, unique
Harvey (1950) -- because everyone should watch Harvey
Meshes of the Afternoon (1943) -- short, everything from Maya Deren is an easy recommendation for Dakota
That one scene in Suspiria haunts me to this day.
i’m obsessed with your energy and this video
Vicky Cristina Barcelona and Midnight in Paris both changed me at my core (also both directed by nobody)
Happy 200k Dakota! We love you🤍
I swear my tears are falling now because of your spontaneity, I love you❤
A resent film that changed my life was “La sociedad de la nieve” or “The society of the snow” in English. Maybe because its a story from my own country and my people, but I was so shocked and frightened by it that after watching it I spent two days in bed truly depressed.

Harold and Maude is the film that changed the way I think about cinema. I saw it quite young and it opened my eyes to what great filmmaking could be. A beautiful love story. If you haven’t seen it please put it on your list.
i adore Columbus directed by Kogonada the way he uses cinematography in that film is stunning!
I just watched Daisies because of your recommendation and omg! This is a film that will sit in my psych for a while. Thank you!
If The Love Witch isn’t in part 2 I’ll genuinely be so surprised.
you should give horror a better try😭😭some recs based on your vibe: eyes without a face, valerie and her week of wonders, bride of frankenstein, possession, carrie, the exorcist!!!!, twin peaks, cat people, creature from the black lagoon
i love eyes without a face!!
twin peaks really isnt horror tho?
@@sapphicquartz i think it is in some instances esp fire walk with me
@@aliiiiiiit i mean i guess theres some horror elements^^ but i'd personally call it more thriller + supernatural
and well due to your reminder fwwm could be categorised as psycological horror due to it being a "victims perspective" prequel
Daisies is irresistible. What a movie.
dont let the haters get to you
this is meaningful and inspiring work, and profound in the most charming way
besides how sweet you are, your articulate vocabulary and certain artistic eyes, gets me out of bed with great inspiration, and it reminds of my pursuit for beauty, abundant and generous in this world
but this world has not been kind, and now nearing my 5th year engineering degree, I find your channel and other creators me through these final army-like experience of discipline, crippling anxiety, low self esteem and fear of the future but I am steadfast and will return victorious.

This is a great list. Phantom Thread is so underrated, and yeah, I really have to see Filth.
Last Night, starring Don McKellar and Sandra Oh, an independent Canadian film, is another end of the world movie that will rock the way you think about the apocalypse. Sad, funny, thought-provoking, elliptical. Worth seeing.

I haven't watch Suspiria, but I have watched its sequel Inferno, which has so much camp.
u should watch the handmaiden !!!!!! it is a korean & lesbian drama,,,, the cinematography is just breathtaking and beautiful, i think u will love it
I didn’t even consider watching The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971) until recently when I came across some movie stills.
Oh my gosh, it lives up to the hype. I tried putting it on as background noise but I couldn’t look away. It pulls the viewer in as soon as it starts. It’s slasher horror but the soundtrack and the visuals make you forget it’s supposed to be a slasher.

congrats for 200k subs you deserve it
you should watch 'perfect sense' 2011 - such a beautiful yet disturbing film
I love that film! that ending scene! won't spoil it here but it haunts me to this day
Finally some CINEMA TALK
been wanting to watch a good movie and now I think I got some in my mind, thanks to you! 😭
Now a list of your favorite films
Why was the intro so satisfying
My 13 all time favorite films are Dr. Mabuse the Gambler, Sunrise, either The Rules of the Game or The River, (I go back and forth among these 2 Renoirs), I Walked With a Zombie, The Flowers of St. Francis, Kiss Me Deadly, Vertigo, The Searchers, Touch Of Evil, Shoot the Piano Player, Demy's Lola, Contempt and Goodfellas
I'm sure many of you viewers have seen all or most of these. Please feel free to comment on them.
oh man, I’ve been waiting for this one ❤
"Directed by Roman Polanski AKA directed by nobody" so real for that!!
Cinema paradiso is one of the best films I’ve seen this year, so incredible!
My top movies that shaped me are La Montana Santa (which inspired a lot of the aesthetics for Eyes Wide Shut, also el topo and anything else directed by Jodorowsky), The Underground, Once Upon A Time A Country (these rich Yugoslavians pay this guy to live underground on a bunker while the Nazi are occupying their country, but then the guy with the bunker gets greedy and doesn’t tell them the war is over for decades and then it’s the 90s and the balkans are in war), Poor Things (and anything else directed by yorgos lanthimos especially the lobster and the killing of the sacred deer), The Wall Pink Floyd movie (which is just the album with the most insane visuals to ever be created) and lastly Django and Kill Bill because I love Tarantino and watched from a young age
Well. We're really soulmates!! We love the same movies!!
welp i have some new movies to add on my watchlist, lovely as always
"Beautiful people making awful things" makes me think of "The Great Gatsby"
I felt the need to ask if you have seen Mirrormask? Its more of a young adult film and its about an angsty teenager but its absolutely gorgeous and strange. One of my favs that i never hear talked about.
I dream to be as elegantly spoken as you are
I was about to go to sleep, but i saw the notification and i am here
haha damn, like how?? this films match so perfectly your character
PLEASEE MAKE A BOOKSHELF TOUR GIRLL
I hasten to inform you that I have already read a collection of short stories by the Japanese writer Akutagawa Ryunosuke, and then read “Stories in the Palm” of another Japanese writer Yasunari Kawabata. Now I started reading the novel by Junichiro Tanizaki.
"Daises" was directed by Vera Chitilova!!!! :0
Hello, I felt compelled to respond to your review as you casually identified the films that impacted you. In your introduction you expressed a relatable quality of films you like which are ‘strange’ or make you feel strange and I was never a fan of horror. I do like a few of A24’s takes on the genre (Midsommar, Heriditary, Blue Ruin and Green Room.) The latter two are not so much horror, but they are pretty violent while still presented in a different toned down manner and have a different feel. If you are not aware, A24 Studios (2008 - present) has a great oeuvre of films which are great 95% or so of the time. Nevertheless, I am grateful for your recognition of older films as the medium is rather young compared to other art forms like painting and so forth. Although, I have seen most of these films, your review causes me to see them again like most good films. It is refreshing to see a review of films that are mostly on the same frequency as my own. I enjoyed your casual style of review and incidental stories along the way. Thank you and if you have not seen the film “Cold Souls” with Paul Giamatti, I recommend it. Keep on chasing the films that are unique and are an experience to view. Skål from Denmark!
Dakota Warren, I loved this video so much, I had to hit the like button!
I am not sure if any film has changed the trajectory of my life, except possibly I, Daniel Blake. But there are a few that changed my perception of cinema. 1,The Godfather; 2, Catch 22; 3, A Matter of Life and Death; 4, INLAND EMPIRE; 5, Spirited Away; 6, Funny Games; 7, Of Time and the City
Based on this, a couple of films you may like if you've not seen them:
We're All Going to the World's Fair (2021) Best to go into this one without knowing anything about it, I think. Very low-budget with an outstanding lead performance.
Pretty Poison (1968) Tuesday Weld and Anthony Perkins being a bit mad together.
I studied daisies in college - at first I thought I hated it, but I gave it a rewatch and it's on my top 100 list for sure. spoilers *** the food fight scene is iconic, the outfits are very mod and the soundtrack is elite. super underrated film
anything by Jordan Peele, i am obsessed with his films
A lot of these are some of my favorite movies, too.
If you haven't seen it yet, I'd strongly recommend Masculine Feminine by Jean-Luc Godard.
I'm saving this video for reference!!
omg i love that you tipped :’) you are proof that people are good !!! videos like this are art in themselves and this made me so happy to see !!
Have you seen Kathryn Morgan's ballet of The Red Shoes? It's on RUclips (about 9 minutes long I think). It's based on the fairy tale, not the movie, but it's beautiful!
Totally off topic, but, I just looked through all your videos to see if you have a video where you are wearing the same hat as in your profile pic…. I would love to see more of said hat.
Also in a video related note, “I like things that get under your skin and make you think about them for a long time”. Same
Because you loved The Color of Pomegranates, I believe that you would love The Chess Game of the Wind by Mohammed Reza Alsani, it is from 1976 and was banned in 1979 and the negatives were destroyed until 2015 when they restored a negatives that were found in an antique shop in Tehran.
If you like daisies i feel like you would like the book the last tale of the flower bride
Yes part 2 neeedddd
I recommed visiting the museum of cinema in the Mole Antonelliana in Turin! Lmk if you go
you've just made my night🫀✨
i have a feeling that you would enjoy helter skelter 2012 and vive l'amour 1994
If you liked The Colour of Pomegranates, check out Parajanov’s Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors.
seeing lady dakota in a tshirt was not in my 2024 bingo card
REAL but she wears it well 😌
Amazing 8am watch
Dakota Warren changed the trajectory of my life.
Splendid list!
Hi. Also a movie junkie. I quote movies constantly. Songs too. Hope someone makes a list. You must have watched Les Visiteurs du Soir. I'm not into weird, dysfunctional or freaky, I've been called a "space cadet" all my life, it repulsed me to be labeled such. Loved The Red Shoes. Anton Walbrook very appealing. Also big crush on Conrad Veidt. He was in a strange brit film where he is a stranger who rents a room in a boarding house. I am envious of those who are just discovering films. I am an astronumerologist. Send me your bithdate and l will tell you what you already know but may wonder how l know it. Genesis 1:14.🦂
Sharon Stone in Basic Instinc
Amarcord 1973 Directed by Federico Fellini - weird and wonderful. I hated Eyes Wide Shut :)
have you seen "sunrise: a tale of two humans" from 1927 by f.w murnau? it's so problematic and beautiful, i think you'd like it.
“beautiful people doing horrible things” there’s quite a few books like that on wattpad [ik ik the judgment is palpable but hey i was a kid] one in particular that’s nice is: the gentleman’s guide to murder
Great list! Do you have a Letterboxd?
