Dirty Wars
Catching Dirty Wars, the first of my SFF flicks. Going partly for the doco and partly for the kooks that are sure to turn up.

That was an eye-opener. Nah, not really. I'm not naive. Heavy, though. And heart-breaking. And maddening.

Stoker
Stare long enough into the abyss... Pre-drinks before Stoker at SFF. http://t.co/bgDKUrhju1

Stoker was my most anticipated film. It was a little more style than substance, but the acting and the direction were good. Also, red wine!

The Machine Which Makes Everything Disappear
Three movies today at SFF: The Machine Which Makes Everything Disappear, The Pussy Riot doco and The Iceman.
— Belvedere Jehosophat (@dead_aeroplane) June 8, 2013
The Machine Which Makes Everything Disappear was full of broken, beautiful and existentially damaged people AND THAT WAS JUST IN THE CINEMA!

The Iceman
The Iceman now. Three movies in a day? Ain't no thang.
— Belvedere Jehosophat (@dead_aeroplane) June 8, 2013
Oh, yeah, almost forgot - just give Michael Shannon an Oscar now. Don't care what for.

Midnight's Children
'Bout to watch Rushdie's Midnight's Children as directed by Deepa Mehta. Hoping for a post-colonial slap in the face.
— Belvedere Jehosophat (@dead_aeroplane) June 9, 2013
Was pretty disappointed in Midnight's Children but only in that now I have to read the book, which I don't have time to do.

Michael H - Profession: Director
Next up is a doco about Michael Haneke. His movies are unflinching and therefore terrifying.
— Belvedere Jehosophat (@dead_aeroplane) June 10, 2013
Fucking Haneke. Remind me to never watch a movie of his again. Or, alternatively, to watch everything he has ever done.

White Elephant
White Elephant is up next. Watching a spik film with my spik parents whilst drinking spik wine. All celebrating my roots and shizz.
— Belvedere Jehosophat (@dead_aeroplane) June 10, 2013
Picked White Elephant because I thought it would be a typically Darin-esque comedy. Turns out it was a social drama about a villa miseria.

Lovelace
Lovelace was the first flick I saw of the festival where I had to turn away from the screen.

You're Next
Last SFF flick for me tonight. Some chivvied up bullshit called You're Next. It's gonna be great!
— Belvedere Jehosophat (@dead_aeroplane) June 13, 2013
Yeah, that was pretty great.
