32 of 32 · most liked firstJanuary 2023, the site I wrote for decided arthouse wasn't clicky enough, a PACIFICTION review was killed before it ran, and I was out of a job. Here's my first written review since then, for Roberto Minervini's THE DAMNED. Plz click. sluggish.ghost.io/the-damned-i...
neutral · AI labelView post →My favorite first-time watch of July is Wes Anderson’s ASTEROID CITY, which I saw 3 times in the theater (once while not high and twice after doing 5 mg of sativa). It’s my favorite film of the year, ahead of NO BEARS and PACIFICTION. I would gladly watch it 7 more times.
positive · AI labelView post →After spending 30 minutes scrubbing through Pacifiction, and shockingly finding a pristine white suit from beginning to end, I remembered the best pro-CIA film ever made, Claire Denis' Stars at Noon. (Why won't PrimeVideo let me take screenshot!) The level of effort wasn't worth it for the photo.

neutral · AI labelView post →Friends, when you're down or stuck in an existential rut - I HIGHLY recommend making a Psychological drama/Black comedy short film aesthetically inspired by De Palma's Body Double, Luca Guadagnino's Suspiria and Albert Serra's Pacifiction & do it all for $1k. - Trust me, you'll feel better.
neutral · AI labelView post →I’m delivering a film workshop and we’re discussing smaller films - seeing the posters to PACIFICTION and CHILE ‘76 reminds me that even mid-tier films from 2023 was a significantly higher bar than the poor slate of films that have been released this year. Honestly, 2024 has been slim pickings.

positive · AI labelView post →Also Pacifiction I caught I 2022 so it made that years list. Don't want anyone to think that film isn't amazing. Everyone should see it. Would be a good lazy Thaksgiving movie actually.

neutral · AI labelView post →Benoît Magimel is the easy going French High Commissioner "De Roller". Charged with representing the French Government on it's Polynesian outpost of Tahiti where he travels the island in his chauffeur driven Mercedes glad-handing and pretty much going from party to party. The arrival of an admiral (Marc Susini) and some rather hunky sailors on his island soon has tongues wagging, though. Before he knows it, his placid existence is being disturbed by increasingly popular - and disturbing -…
neutral · AI labelView post →Lush in its widescreen presentation, Albert Serra's Pacifiction is perhaps the most cinematically ambitious film I've experienced in a long time. Pacifiction is not dissimilar to Claire Denis's White Material or her most recent Stars at Noon, when it comes the hubris of White colonialism in its misguided superiority complex, and manifest destiny. But Serra's narrative scarcity makes Denis's films feel like reading a dense instruction manual for a washing machine by comparison. But what's…
