THE NEW LAND (Jan Troell, 1972) ~ The second part to “The Emigrants” may not be as exciting or perilous for its lead characters, but its chronicle of 19th century America as an unforgiving world is difficult to surpass. #thenewland #jantroell #swedishcinema #sweden #drama #epic #criterioncollection #bluray #19thcentury #america Full review at my bio link!

AFTER LIFE (Hirokazu Kore-eda, 1998) ~ Kore-eda’s second fiction feature sees him take on themes of memory and the afterlife through a meta-cinematic lens. #afterlife #hirokazukoreeda #koreeda #japan #japanesecinema #drama #life #death #memory #cinema

SUNSET (Laszlo Nemes, 2018) ~ Laszlo Nemes’ second feature sees him reprise his “Son of Saul” technique—the long-take closeup in shallow focus—on a sprawling period drama, but with varying results. #laszlonemes #hungary #sunset #drama #fipresci #venicefilmfestival #history #hat #violence #turbulent #sprawling #technical

LOVE IS COLDER THAN DEATH (R.W. Fassbinder, 1969) ~ Fassbinder’s debut feature is a stylish but spare gangster story that works in its own unusual way. #fassbinder #rainerwernerfassbinder #loveiscolderthandeath #hannaschygulla #criterioncollection #eclipse #dvd #berlininternationalfilmfestival #crime #drama #germany #germancinema Full review in my bio link!

THE NIGHT COMES FOR US (Timo Tjahjanto, 2018) ~ For genre fans only, this nauseatingly violent and gory organised crime slice/shoot-‘em up delivers what it promises. #thenightcomesforus #indonesia #timotjahjanto #ikouwais #julieestelle #joetaslim #netflix #action #thriller #violent #gory #crime Available on @netflixsg
