I Lost My Body (2019)

December 15, 2019December 15, 2019 ~ idrawonmywall ~ Leave a comment

Directed by Jérémy Clapin Animated movies can cast a spell over you in a way I don't think live action can.  Just the basics of how they present their worlds, the hand drawn style, can settle your or disturb you so easily.  In I Lost My Body there is plenty to be disturbed by, and it … Continue reading I Lost My Body (2019)

The Merchant of Four Seasons (1972)

February 21, 2019February 20, 2019 ~ idrawonmywall ~ Leave a comment

Directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder Fassbinder's films seem to be about the despicable things we are capable of doing to each other, and in this case it's about the despicable things one man is capable of doing to himself. Hans Epp runs a pear stand with his wife, Irmgard.  It's a struggling operation that brings … Continue reading The Merchant of Four Seasons (1972)

Beginners (2010)

September 17, 2018September 14, 2018 ~ idrawonmywall ~ Leave a comment

Directed by Mike Mills I can't write objectively about Beginners because it is probably, presently my favorite film of all time.  It's a lullaby, a soft breeze, the first sip of coffee, the cords of a familiar song, a towel after a dip in the ocean, and it is that moment you realize your car, which … Continue reading Beginners (2010)

The Match Factory Girl (1990)

September 11, 2018September 7, 2018 ~ idrawonmywall ~ Leave a comment

Directed by Aki Kaurismäki Iris Rukka has sadness etched all over her face.  With a slender build, sunken eyes and a silent disposition, she is pain incarnate.  She hardly speaks throughout the film and thus exists more like just another part of the scenery, as if she is just another prop to be arranged in the … Continue reading The Match Factory Girl (1990)

The Seventh Continent (1989)

July 27, 2018July 24, 2018 ~ idrawonmywall ~ Leave a comment

Directed by Michael Haneke Everything is fragmented in The Seventh Continent.  Like Haneke's Code Unknown (2000), the film is separated with cuts to black between every scene.  Some of these scenes are brief vignettes, and in those cuts to black we have no real sense of how much time has passed. We know right off the bat … Continue reading The Seventh Continent (1989)
