Continuing my YouTube trawlings: Stan Brakhage’s ground-breaking DOG STAR MAN is up there. It’s a silent film. Wikipedia gives the easiest precis: “Described as a "cosmological epic" and "creation myth" (particularly the Prelude), Dog Star Man illustrates the odyssey of a bearded woodsman (Brakhage) climbing through a snow-covered mountain with his dog to chop down a tree. While doing so, he witnesses various mystical visions with various recurring imagery such as a woman, child, nature, and the cosmos while making his ascent.”

Kurosawa’s Ikiru (1952)

Blue Eye Samurai var jävla bra, första avsnittet iaf. Men en timme styck? Better make the most of my Netflix sub.

Speaking of insane movies, I watched Obsession (2026; Curry Barker b. 1999 (!)) the other night. Holy crap. Read nothing about it and see it in a packed theater if you can. The jumps, the screams (of the audience) are worth it. It was one of the most stressful things I’ve maybe … ever?? … watched. Barker nailed it. It’s so well made, paced, acted. Inde Navarrette is terrifying. Weirdly, the movie looks like it takes place in the 90s? Or 2000s? Or maybe this is just some Gen Z fetish world of the past? (With smartphones.) Nobody has jobs? How old are these characters (emotionally, financially)? 15 or 28 or 36? Nothing in our world makes sense / has rhythm anymore, and perhaps we’re starting to see that reflected in media created by people born into these extremely fuzzy times.
