I’m a sucker for any kind of art that is a love letter to a place. Incredible. Plus, Ann Savage in her final role.

Now I’m off to listen to John K Samson’s “Heart of the Continent.”

My #criterionchallenge2026 list so far; I’m having so much fun with this, can’t recommend it enough!

Film posters for All That Jazz, Anselm, Grey Gardens, and Visions of Eight

A great week of film. All new to me, via the Criterion Challenge. I’d seen Ann Reinking’s dance sequences from ALL THAT JAZZ a million times (j’adore!), but hadn’t seen the full film. Whew, what an experience!

Having grown up in the 80s, it’s kind of crazy that this was my first time seeing this classic. Amusing, but not really my jam. Did enjoy Mandy Patinkin, though.

Intense. Grimy. And wow, what a ferocious performance by Ann Savage. Vera is such a terrifying creature.

Beautiful restoration, too.

Not my favorite Powell/Pressburger, but still great. Stunning photography. And the opening credit sequence was perfection.

One minute I’m watching “I Flunked, But…”, a 1930 film by legendary Japanese director Yasujirō Ozu—and the next minute my brain apparates straight to Harry Potter.

2/52 Teeth
22. Watch a film rated 2.0-2.9 stars on @letterboxd.social
Not sure why Teeth has such a low rating (2.7). It was an interesting premise &despite getting a little lost twd the end, I think a solid effort + a great performance by the lead actress

A movie poster of the 1938 film Bringing Up Baby, with black and white headshots of its stars Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant, plus a drawn image of the stars spoon feeding a leopard that’s sitting in a baby’s highchair.

32. Elle Fanning Criterion picks

I really wanted to love this, but Hepburn’s character really frustrated me. Not sure I bought Grant as a nerd either. Loved Baby and George though, they were definitely winners here!
