Film Illiterate, wherein the proprietor records movies seen, and sporadic progress through assorted lists of the "best". Originally started after regretfully renting something forgettable for the third time. I've forgotten what, but never again! A tedious endeavour since 2005. Hello. 🙂
Responses are tainted by expectations: some films disappoint because I expect too much; others seem better, perhaps, because my expectations are low.
From that perspective, the most wonderful thing about seeing Caché for the first time, expectations high after finding it on many critics' lists as "the best of the decade", it was still a masterpiece -- a mystery, a meticulous, slow-burn exposé of one man's long-buried guilt, a lesson in close observation. Magic.
