#ThisNightIllWatchYour Blu-ray release from Blue Underground of George A Romero/Dario Argento's TWO EVIL EYES. I was disappointed w/Romero's "Facts in the Case of M.Valdemar" at the time but GAR's take on the story has grown on me over the years. It needed time to marinate, I guess

#ThisNightIllWatchYour US Blu-ray release of #MichaelRRoskam's #BULLHEAD (2011). Had this on BD for about 10 years but only just plucked up the courage to watch it. Bleak, powerful stuff. Broken people doing broken things in a broken system. Keen to check out Roskam's THE RACER AND THE JAILBIRD now.

#ThisNightIllWatchYour online stream of #RIMINI (#UlrichSeidl, 2022) via the BFIPlayer. I think I need to watch this again to let it settle in. Sort of a German lounge singer variation on THE WRESTLER. Deliciously, darkly comic w/a lot in its subtext re: xenophobia, pop culture, etc. Beautifully photographed.

#ThisNightIllWatchYour online stream of #TomDiCillo's DELIRIOUS (2006). I love this movie. #SteveBuscemi is superb (as always). This was inspired by my recent rewatch of LIVING IN OBLIVION. I think this is the new Director's Cut, which I haven't seen before. Which is nice.

#ThisNightIllWatchYour online stream of SWIMMING WITH SHARKS (#GeorgeHuang, 1994). Buddy Ackerman gives a career best performance as #KevinSpacey. Or should that be the other way around? Honestly, w/ hindsight this feels like the world's greatest mockumentary

#ThisNightIllWatchYour online stream of #ArturoRipstein's THE HOLY OFFICE (El santo oficio, 1974) via @mubiuk
. Justifiably lauded story of the persecution of Jews by the Mexican Inquisition in the 16th Century. Ripstein's studies of power and intolerance have been impressing me.

. Deeply beautiful, profoundly tragic. There's a lot said here, which is often overlooked, about male friendships, stereotypes, and adolescence. On par w/STAND BY ME.

#ThisNightIllWatchYour Blu-ray release from @AltInnocence
of #IvanZulueta’s ARREBATO (RAPTURE, 1979). Been toying w/importing the Spanish release for a year or two. No need to now. First time viewing. Day off work.

#ThisNightIllWatchYour online stream of #ArturoRipstein's THE CASTLE OF PURITY (1973) via @mubiuk
. Fascinating stuff. I'm sure the main set was used in EL VAMPIRO (1957). Ripstein is unexplored territory for me, so I'm going to blast through his oeuvre. #TheCastleofPurity #MexicanCinema

#ThisNightIllWatchYour online stream of APPLES (Christos Nikou, 2020) via @mubiuk
. Quite an interesting premise (a pandemic that causes amnesia). Some interesting things to say about memory and our relationships with both others and technology, and about memory and identity.
