    Is this the one where Keanu takes a bunch of future drugs? I mean that DOES sound kind of like a Cronenberg movie…. No wait! It’s the head exploding one. Except that maybe, just maybe, this early 80s psychic thriller offers a whole lot more than just exploding heads. But don’t worry: if you really like exploding heads, this film still has you covered.

    Soviet cinema at its most… spiritual? Iconoclast director Sergei Parajanov’s deeply personal exploration of the cultural echoes found in the life of 18th-century Armenian troubadour/monk Sayat-Nova uses manuscript-inspired tableaux vivants, exquisite staging, and a profoundly rich symbolic vocabulary to sneak this one past the censors. Sort of.

  • 433 - Patriotism or The Right of Love and Death (1966)
    2024/10/14

    Content warning: this film contains depictions of suicide.

    Come check out Mike and Charlie realizing exactly what they’ve gotten themself into AFTER watching this movie and getting about halfway through our discussion about it. Yukio Mishima and Domoto Masaki’s rich confrontation of Noh-style staging with richly visualized sensuality propels a short film about a married couple’s suicided following a failed coup-d’etat in 1936 Japan.
