Long before Ken Russell imported queer subterranean aesthetics into straight, mainstream cinema, Kenneth Anger laid down the entire blueprint with Puce Moment (1949). Sequins, borzois, colored glass, and absolute, dead-serious sincerity. The foundational text of high-camp.

finally saw Lav Diaz's MAGELLAN (2025) and it was a beautifully realized representation of the inferno of colonialism- the way it's filmed seems to constantly upend expectations about figure/ground, body and landscape- without ever losing its political and economic bearings.

Pitchforkが2004年リリースの「塊魂」のサントラを9.4点の高ポイントを付けて大絶賛しててビックリ!レビューを読むとゲーム音楽としての異質さに加えて、当時全盛期を過ぎていた渋谷系ムーヴメントの亜流かつ傍流に位置するユニークな作品として今作を捉えてるのが面白かった。改めてちゃんと聴いてみよう。

POSSIBLE LOVE is now out on select theaters before its Netflix debut on Nov 6th. One of my favorite movies of the year with 4 amazing performances. All 4 are great but MY GOD Jeon Do-yeon performance here is next level. Should be a lock for best actress.

Lee Chang-dong’s Possible Love begins its theatrical run this week. Here’s my review explicating what makes the film “novelistic” and why this is Lee’s most successful attempt yet to translate his literary sensibility into his cinema: reverseshot.org/reviews/entr…
