5 reviews

Ascenseur Pour L'Echafaud (1958) - One of the best films for Parisian atmosphere I've seen. Enjoyed it - surprisingly suspenseful and twisty plot. Moreau wonderfully melancholic and great Miles soundtrack.

Best Worst Movie (2009) - Very enjoyable and revealing documentary. Some genuinely interesting and diverse characters discovered. Actress who played mother is worrying - almost seemed like she was acting?

Vivre Sa Vie (1962) - Rewatched: Karina as arresting as ever. Film as a whole not as overwhelming as first viewing, but still powerful. Use of Poe in one scene is genius. Ending made more sense this time.



Black Christmas (1974) - Rewatched: Still very disturbing - a lot down to voice over of murderer. Surprising repetition of c-word for 1974. Brilliant ending as "final girl" left in empty house.

Malpertuis (1971) - Brilliantly original and unique film. Very enjoyable atmosphere and host of strange characters. Slightly long but needs time for characters. Worth it for incredible ending(s), mindbending.
