And now, one year and one month later, I have wound down my pandemic-spurred moviewatching (I of course will continue to watch films and TV shows avidly), to conclude with the following films I shoehorned in during a very busy April. It was almost a blur, but I did remember to write down the following films and shows. Please do share your thoughts about any of these films or entries, throughout the entire past year, in the comments!
April's films:
Señorita* (a trans gem from the Philippines, by Isabel Sandoval)
Yellow Fever*
Caught
Monkey Business*
Horse Feathers*
Relic (1, 2, 3, 4)*
Charles and Lucie* (a Nelly Kaplan film, my first introduction to her work)
A Very Curious Girl* (Kaplan's feminist masterpiece)
Papa, the Lil' Boats*
Watermelon Man* (I'd seen this a few times in the past)
How to Take a Bath
Lovers & Lollipops
The Homecoming* (rewatched this)
Outside the Wire* (Damson Idris & Anthony Mackie + SF = worth it)
Monsoon* (Henry Golding's & Parker Sawyers's characters in love - well done)
Lime
Copa 181 (It needed a bit more depth, but interesting nevertheless)
Dr. Strangelove*
Guilt
