![]() ![]() Other than a stream for The Book of Life a few years ago, i had somehow managed to dodge seeing any hal hartley films until this year, where i finally saw Trust. it’s surreal to imagine that such high budget ventures were once as dreamy and nightmarish as this. whitewashed through and through, but, as is often the case, not to an extent particularly more egregious than the average picture today. ![]() i’m glad i did it ends up being this sort of marvelous dream movie, soaked in some of the most glorious technicolor that money could buy, and with no lack of imagination throughout the entire (admittedly bloated) runtime. While i’ve never really categorized myself as a noteworthy fan of powell & pressburger, i had heard great things about The Thief of Bagdad for a while now, and this year on a whim decided to finally get around to it. here are the best films that i saw in the calendar year for the first time. additionally, while i didn’t get to see anything from NYC this year, i had a great time finding new sorts of films i like – a newfound passion for shaw bros, sov horror, and schizo-core cinema. i was lucky enough to have received a karagarga invite from a very generous friend, which will surely aid me moving forward in finding those hard-to-find flicks. film-wise, i think this was a good year for me, as they always are.
