Glad you liked Shadow of the Vampire for the most part! And you're definitely right about it being very witty, it's almost a stealth comedy. And Willem Dafoe, of course, is incredible like he is in everything.

It’s one of my favorites because it tells such a cohesive story in such a unique way. If you ever watch the first two again, you can see how well set up the story is. This month, I mostly watched Gaspar Noe’s films for the first time, namely ‘Irreversible’, ‘Enter the Void’, and ‘Climax’, and I have never felt so sick to my stomach from just watching something before (this might be TMI, but I actually threw up watching ‘Irreversible’). They were very well made, but I honestly wouldn’t recommend them unless you are absolutely prepared for what you are getting into.

2025-04-13 16:11:47 +0000 UTCOMG Shadow of the Vampire is such a great movie I love it so much. Also the Before movies are literally some of my fave movies ever. Now you’ve seen the Before Trilogy I highly recommend Boyhood, which is also written and directed by Richard Linklater. It’s a very different film but it uses a similar method - it was shot over 12 years using the same cast, where they would shoot for 1 week each year, and it follows a boy and his family from age 6 to 18 (Ethan Hawke plays the dad). It’s absolutely incredible.

2025-04-13 16:11:16 +0000 UTCThe best of what I watched in March would be ‘Mickey 17’ (which I saw in the cinema) and ‘Blue Velvet’ (1986) directed by David Lynch. I really enjoyed 'Longlegs' with its X-Files meet Silence of the Lamb vibes and also watched 'Anora' (which I enjoyed) because of good word of mouth in the lead up and following its Oscar win. I will be on the lookout for 'Shadow of the Vampire' (I enjoyed the 1922 and 2024 version of Nosferatu) and 'Before Midnight'; I have seen 'Before Sunset' and 'Before Sunrise', although I enjoyed the first more than the second. A livestream sounds fun.
