Given that we just saw Ryo Ikebe in #PaleFlower I'll take in Gorath tonight. You have to love an "a large thingy is on collision course with Earth movie" in which the plot doesn't involved destroying the large thingy but moving the Earth out of the way! 😂

The theme of potentially deadly romantic obsession reminds me of Ōshima's "In The Realm of The Senses". #NoirAlley #DarknessAtNoon #PaleFlower
This is the first time I've seen #PaleFlower. It really is great. Noir distilled down to its essence. Eddie's intro and outro are fascinating. #DarknessAtNoon
Love the discordant music is this gambling scene. It enhances the whole dreamlike feeling of the picture. #NoirAlley #DarknessAtNoon #PaleFlower
It’s a heat emergency day, so I got up early (for me) and ran an errand to the garden center. So, I’m watching #NoirAlley now to stay out of the heat. 5 minutes into #PaleFlower and it’s already an all time favorite, Wowie. #tcmparty
Oh my there is a 20-minute Shinoda memoir on Criterion, too! Only 5 minutes in and it's amazing!

All the young folks call Muraki "Aniki" in the film, which Google Translate says is "Big Brother."

That scene where Muraki hands off Saeko to Reiji...it's a father giving away a bride.

The way Saeko lies to him about where she got her drugs. Just amazing layered writing.

Later in the film we learn that those steps were a church, and the bells were probably diagetic, late-evening Angelus bells?

Damn, this film. Keeps surprising you, keeps developing characters & theme.

"Learning that Robert Wise was an inspiration to Masashiro Shinoda, is precisely why I love watching movies from all over the world, to find where the connections outweigh the differences." Thank you @eddiemuller.bsky.social.
Until next week and #SorryWrongNumber. #PaleFlower #NoirAlley #TCMParty
Even finger boy's role is superbly written & acted. He found his father figure...I expect this will not end well.

Muraki's line about an addict who can control his addiction is a mirror of Kaspar Gutman's line in #TheMalteseFalcon about liking men who *don't* say when, because they can be trusted to keep quiet when not sober.

My mom, a Greek, loved him but was irked he was never given Greek roles, which went to non-Greeks like Anthony Quinn.
It was Hollywood thinking that non-Anglos could play any "exotic" role.
There are layers of cultural criticism in #PaleFlower is all I'm sayin'

I watched #PaleFlower for the first time during lockdown (on my laptop, as part of the International Noir Festival in 2020). Have wondered since if I really liked the film or was just pent up from lockdown. Got my answer today-the former. #TCMParty #NoirAlley

So glad you watched this morning! I knew you were a fan of Odds Against Tomorrow. I’m totally oriented towards writing so wouldn’t pick up on the filmmaking similarities, but figured it’d be second nature for you. #PaleFlower #TCMParty #NoirAlley
I almost never have much to pick about when it comes to Eddie, but John Cage = NOT JAZZ. Needed an extra qualifier there about theory. Also, not to mention musique concrète was a bit of malpractice. Laughing at myself now. Rorschach much, Brent? As Eddie predicted. #TCMParty #NoirAlley #PaleFlower
Somehow, I thought @EddieMuller was cueing up Ida Lupino and #ILoveAMystery in his outro for #PaleFlower, but it looks like next week is Barbara Stanwyck in #SorryWrongNumber.
