"Jeanne Dielman 23 Quai Du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles is one of the most profound portraits of melancholia put to film, precisely because it is only really about melancholia tangentially; because it whispers, never shouts." https://t.co/2XEGNQIAN0

Bright Wall/Dark RoomBright Wall/Dark Room

"It’s easy to write off BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA, so married as it is to the neon tackiness of the early 1990s; it’s much harder to recognize that placing itself squarely into that context is an extraordinary device." -@candaceopper 🎨: @studiotstella https://t.co/gmymh6ZT7L

"Re-watching BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA over 30 years later, I'm both surprised by and in awe of its extraordinary garishness, its ability to strike humor by way of its self-seriousness, its unapologetic transience." -@candaceopper https://t.co/gmymh70qXj https://t.co/ycxCZn1pHH

"In John Carpenter’s 1983 adaptation of Stephen King’s haunted-car novel CHRISTINE, the road to hell is paved not with good intentions, but with time—our desire to control it, and its power to control us instead." -@aHeartOfGould https://t.co/uMFmj85Qju
