Perhaps the evolutionary answer to Modern Times, with Mr. Hulot as our new Tramp observing more than participating. Endlessly inventive, like nothing else out there. Humanity is the character rather than any specific human. Sometimes silly, sometimes moving, sometimes intense, sometimes still. I'd say you should watch it. Also notable: Bonnie & Clyde, Point Blank

The Taiwanese film THE FALLS was released on Netflix in February and kind of got lost. It’s an eerie, pandemic-set drama about a mother and her daughter as their relationship sinks and re-emerges as something new. It’s from the director of the masterful Chung Mong-hong’s A SUN. pic.twitter.com/yYfckPxL3F— Carlos Aguilar (@Carlos_Film) October 5, 2022
