Me too. Oscar noms are the main reason for some of the films I watched in the last months. I think I watched 24 films with some noms attached to them, including many shorts.

I also watched Bugonia and Sentimental Value only this week!

Oh, I recently watched Sunshine and I liked it a lot.

Among my #LastFourWatched two Oscar nominees, two Canadian docs sans profile poster!

BUGONIA 👍
SENTIMENTAL VALUE 😍

Canadian film review: Ninth Floor If you have seen the 2025 documentary True North from Michèle Stephenson, or want to find that documentary, we recommend a companion piece in researching this tale of Canadian history. Ninth Floor …

Ninth Floor is a history lesson about racism against Black students in Montreal in the 1960s. The good news is that you can watch this documentary for free via the National Film Board of Canada. An important story you likely don't know. #CanadianFilm

😀 Happy #LetterboxdFriday! Three short Oscar contenders among my #LastFourWatched. They were OK.

🌴 Also watched the 3.15-hour APOCALYPSE NOW Redux, which was great. I now want to watch the BTS documentary HEARTS OF DARKNESS, but it's no longer available on Amazon Prime in Canada. Bummer! ☹️

Onwards! 😉

I hope people outside of Canada can access this wonderful short film from The National Film Board about knitters in Whitehorse. It's so soothing and lovely.
