Liked it very much though one viewing will suffice.

I’m finding that Prime tends to recommend things y will actually like. All of the ‘you might like’ ones are my actual favourites. Go figure.

Well then.
I liked ‘Air’ better, but this is fine. Nothing much. Seen an article somewhere lately (didn’t read the whole thing) saying the market is oversaturated with origin stories, and this is definitely the case imo.
I would probably even put this in the category of ‘failure stories’ (not that this is much of a genre). Which is in itself fascinating, as I’ve always been interested in narratives where things really fail (not the Hero’s Journey-type fail, but really, definitively fail, as it were).

'Odd Man Out' (1947)
Wife hasn't seen this yet so excited to see how she likes it. I'm a film noir freak. Over the years she's developed a liking to them.

I have decided to watch a second film tonight, Timecop, as part of the 2024 Film Challange.

If you're a big noir fan, you might like to participate in the several noir threads or HOFs.

Book is better, but it’s good.

I expect to like this — very much my kind of thing on paper. A members’ preview is also always nice.
This was excellent. Hüller sure is phenomenal. A film that leaves one utterly breathless. Then again, I find that ‘the banality of evil’-type films tend to work for me.
Noticed that Hüller has a strange, waddling gait here — intentional, I assume, as she doesn’t seem to do this elsewhere (I’ve been watching her since Anatomy of a Fall). The flashes were a bit confusing, and I wasn’t sure why there were subtitles in the scene where the girl plays the piano as there was no singing. How are we supposed to know what the words relate to, are these her thoughts? Strange.

Heck, yes, I will enjoy this.
