Excellent choices. I really liked Lucrecia Martel's "The Headless Woman". I recommend her other films, such as "The Holy Girl" and "Zama". I thought "Copycat" was a good thriller. I saw it when it first came out (do I feel old!).
I haven't forgotten that you recommended 'Zama'. So cool that three people in different parts of the world can know an alternative director. I want to see all, including her debut, 'The Swamp'. As for age, I'm offering subscriptions to the club.
Yes, it is exciting when people from different parts of the world show appreciation for Lucrecia Martel (great minds think alike...LOL!). Yes, do see "The Swamp". As for age, what matters is that we are youg at heart. :)
"The Headless Woman," what a pick for a first step into the magic that Lucrecia puts on offer. I'm still very much in love with her "La Ciénaga," if you're able to view it please do let me know what you think. This is a great list, and was a fun read. Thank you for sharing!
Yes, Holly. Good point. I forgot to mention "La Ciénaga" by Lucrecia Martel. The scenes around the pool seeped into my pores, so much so that I could almost smell the chlorine in the pool as the once prosperous bourgeoise families fell into decay.
The Exorcist III is one of the best horror sequels in my opinion! I think my favourite film of the year so far would be Bring Her Back by the Aussie Philippous. Also, I know it came out last year, but I recently watched JT Mollner's Strange Darling and it's one of the most creative horrors I've seen lately.
I agree. The best part was the conversations between the priest and cop. Then the detective story. Horror last.
Loved 'Strange Darling', though more at the moment than half a year down the line. Excellent acting. It was my #5 thriller last year, with 'Red Rooms' winning the cake.

Yougie :)
Oops! I meant young, but my "old" brain forgot the "n". Well, young at heart but with an old brain.
Too late, I'd decided to be yougie forever. Not gonna let you take that away from me.
LOL! Come to think of it, being "yougie forever" is not a bad idea. :)

The smell of bourgeoisie decay as an advert, he he....

My introduction to Red Rooms was a mystery screening where a handful of unsuspecting viewers got up and left halfway through haha.
Ha ha. That's like "Look at that flock of beautiful birds," and someone says, "Dog shit exists."
