Talk About Movies: Part 4 - Page 460 - The Lounge Discussion and Review on Literature, Arts, Culture

I missed this gem in the VERY limited release it had in only a few theaters so I ordered and waited a long time to get this one just today... I ordered it in early Sept, of 2023.

it's pure esthetic story telling of the indigenous peoples in various parts of Mexico... there is NO dialog, but the movie doesn't need language to portray the peoples and there lives.

it's a beautifully shot and rendered cinematic piece.

As was the rest of the small cast. An odd decision or 2 at the end but it didn’t ruin anything. And the mid-credit bit was awesome!

Kristin Stewart has taken on some very different roles, apparently, from her early Twilight films. Personal Shopper and Clouds of Sils Maria are extraordinary films with extraordinary performances by Stewart. (Both films are directed by Olivier Assays.) She is one of the finest actors working today.

I've tried watching Beau Is Afraid three times and just can't get through it.

Ari Aster is a vastly over-rated filmmaker. Hereditary is a mess, Midsommer was decent but ultimately exists for shock value, and Beau Is Afraid is awful.

Early on you know something is wrong with this movie when Lou Sr (Ed Harris) decides to get the attention of an employee of his by firing a bullet past her head from 50 yds away. You get women's bodybuilding, fine actor Ed Harris looking ridiculous in his makeup, Hulk-like scenes, shiny handguns, FBI, drugs, sex, fights, and love triangles. The central question is "are muscular women hot or not?". What else could you want?

Go Kristen Stewart

“I was up all night crying regarding Richard Simmons’ tweet,” Shore responded. “Richard, how do you not approve of this movie? I mean, really, who’s better to play you in a movie than ME? Leonardo DiCaprio’s not gonna play you. Brad Pitt’s not gonna play you. I’m perfect. Everyone already thinks I’m you. We’re the same.”
