A neo-expressionist film, I learned this week. So cool that, in our risk-averse Hollywood world right now, this got made. Beautiful film packed with imagery, depth, and creativity. The acting is as good as it gets. The cinematography and set design were breathtaking. AND THE SCORE, PEOPLE! Jerskin Fendrix’s first film score too! He lost at the oscars to (the better-connected and has-made-more-people-rich) Ludwig Göransson. What a shame. (Not that Göransson’s score for Oppenheimer was bad – Fendrix’s was just that good.)

I never understood Phillip Glass’s music until I watched this film. Mesmerizing.

Wow. I’ve never been affected so deeply by the cinematography itself. Powerful film.

About Henry V. Loved the historical accuracy, particularly the lighting and the sword battles, and the rawness. No frills in this one. And Timothée Chalamet knocked it out of the ballpark.
