#006 - The Hallucinations and Bloody Exorcisms of Zé do Caixão YouTube video by Outskirts Film Podcast

I’ll piss people off by saying this, but Berlinale wanted theatrics to win over politics. Given all the enthusiastic reactions, which wiped from everyone’s memory the attempts to stop journalists from exercising their right to free speech, seems like their strategy worked!

the nurse who prepared my biotherapy meds today complimented me: “mademoiselle you have so beautiful, well-defined veins!!” I guess this is how people start to compliment you when you’re ill all the time.

i think people are reacting to hamnet as if they’ve never seen a single emotionally dense film in their lives. i totally get liking the film, but the way some people react to those who didn’t like it as much feels a bit like mass hysteria.

Cortisone didn’t help much with the symptoms, but I experienced delicious fits of anger on this drug - which I would have otherwise suppressed and moved on from. I thoroughly enjoyed the catharsis.

Geçtiğimiz yıl Jean-Luc Godard’ın televizyon mecrasındaki üretimleri üzerine yazdığım ve Aç Yazı’da yayınlanan metni internet siteme yükledim. Kapsamlı olmaktan son derece uzak ama ilerde üzerine daha çok yazmak istediğim bu konunun zeminini oluşturuyor.

Blasphemy and Freedom: João César Monteiro's Post-Revolutionary Cinema - Ultra Dogme Justine Smith dives into the defiant, bacchanalian and melancholy cinema of João César Monteiro.

For Ultra Dogme, I wrote about the cinema of João César Monteiro, touching on a number of his films including God's Comedy, Recollections of the Yellow House and What Shall I Do With This Sword? through the perspective of Revolution. ultradogme.com/2025/12/26/j...

The Love that Remains

Had the chance to write about Hlynur Pálmason’s delightful and invigorating The Love That Remains, whose unrestrained and malleable approach to narrative and visual economy I deeply adored.
