I’m compiling my list of favorite films of the year and I’m contemplating adding His Three Daughters or maybe give it an honorable mention. I loved everything about it except for the ponderous conclusion. I need to watch Outrun. TCT is an unpolished exercise in nihilism but I dug it.
So far, English wise, 1. 'Didi', 2. 'The Outrun' 3. 'His Three Daughters'. Even better are 'The Master and Margarita' (Russia), 'Crossing' (Georgia-Sweden set Turkey), 'Red Rooms' (Canada) and 'Ru' (also Canada).
I've decided to wait until April 1 to finish my list so that everything's streamingly available.
Didi is one my list. I loved it. I had no idea The Master and the Margarita was adapted. I think I might read the novel before I watch it. I have to add the other 2 to my ever growing list lol
Ugh I mistakenly deleted your comment! Sorry. The app is buggy sometimes. I saw Mads and yes, loved the title card. But I didn’t necessarily loved the movie. I liked the concept but I think I needed more.
I wonder if Kidman is played out in this type of role? Then again, I applaud that a film showing woman in her mid 50s discovering sexual liberation and agency is actually a mainstream film. Same on the sub dom theme. I just think the story needs to be different (to your point about Secretary). It needs to make you question and connect to it (that’s my opinion anyway). I still want to see it but have my reservations that it’ll feel like a Max after Dark movie. (Back when they had those and before Max ate HBO and not in a good way)
You know, I wanted to love this movie, and I did for the first 25 minutes. But then it all becomes a bit silly. The movie isn’t as audacious as it thinks it is. The envelope wasn’t pushed far enough and I didn’t find the intimate scenes erotic at all haha. But I agree. Kudos to the movie for tackling this topic. Maybe I’m just not part of the target audience and that’s okay too.
I digged 'Anora' big time, though Saorise Ronan's performance in 'Outrun' may be my favourite. Carrie Coon was also great in 'Three Daughters'.
I'm looking forward to 'The Coffee Table'!

‘The Master and the Margarita’ was on my reading list for too many years. I’m glad that I can at least say I watched the great movie.
