hello! any films you watched this year that you really enjoyed? :3c

YES!! VERY MUCH SO!! these are not ALL my favs but i’ve watched quite a few new movies this year so i can’t possibly list all the ones i liked >_<

liquid sky (1982): a movie about genderfuck aliens trying to study the human orgasm. oh and one of the alien’s bodies kills someone whenever they orgasm inside her. really funky synth beat, good 80’s fashion, also it’s a movie about sex and death and aliens so what more could u want!!

starship troopers (1997): this had a revival showing at a local theater, i saw it with my bf who loves it and playing helldivers 2, the game it was based off of (i only know about hd2 what i do from him…i’m not a gamer U_U) but this was really fun. good political satire that aged well LOL. glad i got the experience to see it for the first time in theaters!!

mishima: a life in four chapters (1985): movie that is a fictional account of yukio mishima. nationalist who was very much the definition of “killing myself to own the libs” and paul schrader does (imo) a really good and colorful dive into showing his life and descent into ego and madness.

sada (1998): a fictional account of sada abe, who became a celebrity in japan after strangling her lover. made by the same director who made hausu and has all of his trademark crazy collage effects.

solaris (1972): a psychologist goes to another planet to investigate mental problems, discovers the water on the planet brings out repressed obsessions. basically a look into how little you can know about the people you love, i love andrei tarkovsky’s work and this was rly rly good

honorable mentions you should also check out: merry christmas mr lawrence, penda’s fen, ganja & hess, mandy, talk to me, death in venice, who’s afraid of virginia woolf
