Below are Ben’s SELECTS:
There’s so much in the quiet details of these characters — the ache of missed connections. I adore everything about Kelly Reichardt.
Where I go to cleanse my palate. The most beautiful music video–film ever made.
The zoo scene made me realize that a film could work perfectly with nothing more than a script, performances — and a cheap looking fake polar bear.
My dose of overstimulation before doomscrolling was even a thing.
Another proof that characters and location are everything. The colours even in this BTS look just marvellous….
Massages my synapses. Reminder that more films and music videos deserve to be experienced in analog spaces, not just digital ones.
“There’s nothing left.” That line tore my heart out. The way it captures emptiness and the slow process of healing feels so deeply human. I just wish Lonergan made more films.
A Spike Jonze documentary I stumbled upon by accident. The final scene is my favourite.
Nature documentaries were the first films I ever watched — with my brother, sister, and grandpa on VHS.
