I love how she frames the human body. Beau Travail, White Material, Chocolat, even the kind of bad Trouble Every Day

For my money (not a lot tbh) she's one of the best filmmakers working today. Her movies are lyrical but never sentimental, morally serious but never self-righteous. She is especially interested in themes about the body, desire, colonialism. My favourites are Beau Travail, Trouble Every Day, and White Material.

- La Piscine (dir. Jacques Deray)
- Visages, Villages (also Varda. she is the best)
- Diabolique (dir. Henri-Georges Clouzot)
- Passages (dir. Ira Sachs. maybe not a "fave" but a modern one and def interesting!!)

Am I sad I’m not in love? Or happy I’m not in love? I don’t know I just love watching people smoke cigarettes and cry in the rain and be messy on screen

a detective investigates a string of murders where all the victims are killed the same way-but each by different killers. it’s a fascinating look into the idea of the individual vs. society, the breaking point of “good people”, and a frightening reassurance that you can never truly know another person.
Expert framing, great outfits, and solid plot, I haven’t stopped thinking about it since I watched it on criterion channel earlier this week.
