Saw an #IFFBoston screening of Chloé Zhao's HAMLET. The production design, costumes, and cinematography perfectly immerse you in the 16th century without pretentiousness or artifice. The performances are great. The story I was ok with, never bored but a little, "ok I’ve got it", but wow, it really pays off emotionally in the end.
I highly recommend it. Comes out 12/12 and wider release in January near all those Oscar nominations it's going to get.
I saw an early screening of Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery at the #BrattleTheatre as part of #IFFBoston #FallFocus2025
It was great, I think my favorite of the series. Thanks #Netflix for putting it in independent theatres. It was so fun with a crowd.
#BGStats says in Oct, I got in 13 plays of 8 different #BoardGames
I missed some game time because of #IFFBoston #FallFocus
The only game new to me was Sprawlopolis which was fun solo.
Vibrating with anticipation for Jafar Panahi's newest film It Was Just An Accident. And after that, the new collaboration between Joachim Trier and Renate Reinsve, Sentimental Value. Two of my most anticipated of the year.
Happy #LetterboxdFriday !
I'm at #IFFBoston Fall Focus, hence the pre-release films.
Everett Blunck is fantastic young talent, who once again puts his nervous energy to excellent use, albeit very different than last year's Griffin in Summer.
If I Had Legs was a bizarre disappointment.
Tron: Ares was just a mess.
And Perfect Blue was my first Kon! I wouldn't be surprised if my opinion improves on a rewatch. It was just a fuckin' LOT on a first viewing.
