I've been sick the past two days so I was able to find time in what seems like a year or two to sit down and watch a film or two.
The Killing of a Sacred Deer
I'm a big fan of Yorgos Lanthimos. Loved Dogtooth and The Lobster and I loved this. I didn't think the dude could get darker but this was certainly his darkest film yet. The story is based on the ancient Greek play Iphigenia at Aulis by Euripides but was presented with the same kind of surreal and strange pacing and dialogue that Lanthimos is famous for. Great acting by Farrell and Barry Keoghan.
Blade Runner 2049
Finally had the time to see this. Villeneuve is my favorite working director and I'm kicking myself for not trying to see this in the theater hard enough. Great acting from all involved. Ana de Armas stood out to me besides being one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen holy sh*t. Gosling was made for the role. Made me understand the original more. Beautifully shot. I love Roger Deakins. Fantastic film.
