748) PASSING
(2021 dir. Rebecca Hall) Date Seen: December 29 2021















747) SIX-STRING SAMURAI
(1998 dir. Lance Mungia) Date Seen: December 29 2021

A visually inspired brilliantly bonkers folly. I wish I had adequate words to describe the charm of this trippy little indie. It felt like watching Jim Jarmusch dig into A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS to try & uproot YOJIMBO’s samurai core but on the way out he got stuck halfway between both. I don’t know if the filmmakers were intentionally trying to dethrone STRAIGHT TO HELL (1987) for title of “Greatest Stoner Spaghetti Western of All Time”, but.. Mission Accomplished.














746) REMEMBER THE NIGHT
(1940 dir. Mitchell Leisen) Date Seen: December 29 2021
