Good Movies, February 2021

‎An Evening with Beverly Luff Linn, 2018 - ★ No.
Matchstick Men, 2003 - ★★★. This one feels a hundred years old in a good way.
Lupin III: The First, 2019 - ★★★★. Good now do this with Professor Layton
Taboo, 1999 - ★★★★★. Happy Valentine’s Day 2021
La Ronde, 1950 - ★★. I liked the narrator tricker figure but not much else.
The Seduction of Mimi, 1972 - ★★. It’s like a really rough draft of Sorry to Bother You.
Morocco, 1930 - ★★★. I loved that the C-plot of the film is that Gary Cooper owes everyone in his unit $60 because he just can’t stop hitting up prostitutes.
St. Louis Blues, 1958 - ★★★.
A Life of Her Own, 1950 - ★★★. Oh hey did you know that nothing matters, nobody will really love you, you’re aging wrong, and New York has never once made a single person happy?
The Living End, 1992 - ★★★. Sharp inhale of crushed-up sophoromic film zine: Luke is a metaphor
Guest of Honour, 2019 - ★★★. Casting the best living Lawful Evil actor as a health inspector is a damned inspired choice. Making that character the protagonist is a more curious one. I think it mostly worked.
Monsieur Verdoux, 1947 - ★★★★.
