Dope was very high-tech gimmicky and improbable but fun. Black eyed Susan was a nastier version of Companion, decidedly not a family movie. Warfare was a chaotic affair,ok I guess .</p>

Sorrentino’s love affair with Naples continues in this utterly ham-fisted affair in which a gorgeous young woman plays an allegory of the city, in various states of undress. Set pieces abound in this two-hour perfume ad-style film that is bereft of characterisation or subtlety. Please let him do a Cirque du Soleil show instead. What’s the Italian word for ‘side-boob’?</p><p>Maggie’s Plan - Loved this fantastic comedy. Loved Greta Gerwig. LOVED Julianne Moore stealing every scene she was in. </p><p>Another Simple Favor - Enjoyable if stupid follow-up. Just go with it. It’s silly but so what. Anna Kendrick rules. </p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/Films" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Films</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Movies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Movies</span></a></p>

Ishmael Lasting<p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/LetterboxdFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LetterboxdFriday</span></a> </p><p>APART FROM YOU - Early Naruse drama about two geishas and their family problems</p><p>LES MISERABLES - The five hours just fly by. No, honestly. Fairly faithful, fairly straightforward adaptation of the novel with some lovely '30s expressionistic touches in the art design. If I were a French literature teacher, even 90 years on from its production, this is the version I'd recommend my students watched. And they'd ignore me or start singing I Dreamed a Dream to me . Obviously </p><p>THE RED BALLOON - Haven't seen this since I was about eight, making this perhaps my longest ever gap between viewings. I'd like to tell you it was seared into my memory anyway. But it wasn't. Couldn't remember a thing about it, except that it was about a boy and a balloon. Still holds up though. Technicolor improves *everything*</p><p>GREEN FOR DANGER - Whodunnit with Alistair Sim as the police investigator. He's magnificent, everything else is just OK</p><p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/LastFourWatched" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LastFourWatched</span></a></p>

Derek Dahlsad<p>I've been too busy to watch movies for the past month -- I finally got myself up to 4 this week:<br><a href="https://mefi.social/tags/letterboxdfriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>letterboxdfriday</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/lastfourwatched" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lastfourwatched</span></a></p>

Mubi currently has a few animated shorts dealing with sex and desire. Worth checking out.</p><p>Sinner – Yep, it’s good. I like the way it slowly builds so that when the thing that happens happens you’re emotionally invested. Wunmi Mosaku is terrific, and Michael B Jordan is great in his twin role as brothers. Ryan Coogler's direction is confident; he knows you'll go wherever he;s takng you. It all makes for a really enjoyable trip to the cinema. </p><p>In Another Country – Isabelle huppert plays three charachters, all called Anne, in the first of the three films she's made with Hong Sang-soo. Slighter than his usual fare, probably not helped that she and otehr actors are speaking in English, so it seems more scripted than usual, but enjoyable nevertheless.</p><p>Universal Language – Without doubt the best film I’ve seen in a long long time. I raved about it the other day but this movie, set in a Winnepeg in which everyone speaks Farsi, is utterly joyful. Ostensibly an homage to Iranian films about children (such as The White Balloon), it has such warmth and humour. And turkeys gobbling "Unacceptable!" </p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/Films" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Films</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Movies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Movies</span></a></p>

Ishmael Lasting<p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/LetterboxdFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LetterboxdFriday</span></a> </p><p>SOPHIE SCHOLL: THE FINAL DAYS - Important story; unremarkable film</p><p>NIGHT TRAIN TO MUNICH - Knockabout war propaganda comedy thriller that's kind of a winking remake of / sequel to The Lady Vanishes. Enormously entertaining. Rex Harrison is a blast. And solid Nazi jokes will never age. </p><p>Also contains a visual gag I was surprised to see anyone making in 1940: a German bookseller has copies of Mein Kampf alongside only one other book... Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind. Nice</p><p>WHEN THE TENTH MONTH COMES - A war widow hides the recent death of her husband from the family by faking letters from the front. But she's mostly hiding it from herself. Emotionally complex but stripped-down domestic drama</p><p>CASQUE D'OR - Doomed romance with 19th century gangsters and molls that evokes both Jean and Pierre-Auguste Renoir </p><p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/LastFourWatched" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LastFourWatched</span></a></p>

Sharaz Luke<p>Only the one film this week (as Andor and Last of Us have taken my viewing priorities). </p><p>Havoc ⭐️⭐️⭐️ </p><p>I love love love Gareth Evans and in particular The Raid films. And was so excited to see his new feature on Netflix. </p><p>It just didn’t hit the mark. </p><p>I got the nods to the action movie classics (Die Hard, numerous John Woo films) but this film didn’t do anything differently, and the trademark Evans style was few and far between. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/LetterboxdFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LetterboxdFriday</span></a>
