'The Golden Harvest' is a 6,000-year old love story in which the filmmaker tries to understand the profound relationship between olive trees & the people of Mediterranean, including her father. It is a complicated romance, sometimes funny, sometimes tragic, set some of the poorest and most conflicted areas of Europe & the Middle East. (1/2)

@cinephile Paul Schrader calling the protagonist of Raging Bull an incel!!!!! All the filmbros who got mad at me for saying that 3 years ago, I hope you are shoving your copium up your ass now! :ms_tengu_mask:
"It’s hard for anyone to prioritize the greater good when their own happiness is hanging in the balance, but Hunt’s ultimate strength has always been his ability to make the impossible choice. That Hunt is a real person under his various masks is what makes him so dangerous, and that he’s played by the most alien and unrelatable of movie stars is what makes him so compelling."
"...its drama of calculating and longing gazes is all about a lesbian point of view. Therese aspires to a career in photography, and Carol stirs her talent. Their sex scene, when it comes, two-thirds of the way through the #movie, starts with a complex camera set-up before a mirror and continues with camera placements that offer intimacy while demanding attention to viewing perspective itself. Carol’s screenwriter, Phyllis Nagy, told me her confidence in Haynes’s sympathetic sensibility was clinched by the dinginess of the hotel room in which the sex scene was set. She didn’t want it to be glamorized. The deliberateness of the film’s final shots give the internal drama of the novel’s last lines—Therese’s confident stride into a crowded restaurant, Carol’s familiar gesture across the room, Therese’s smile when Carol meets her gaze—the impact of a money shot."
