Since I have a lot of free time thanks to the pandemic, I can watch around 3 movies a day. And I want go be more experienced in specific directors, the good and the bad, because discussing directors is a big part of cinema's forums. So everyday I check out at least one movie by a specific director until I feel like I'm experienced enough. Sometimes I save room for two directors at once if a director's prolific enough, like Roger Corman.
Right now I'm exploring the highest-rated movies of Orson Welles that I haven't seen yet (with The Trial being hard to soak for it's effective toxicity), and today I got serious about checking out several films in the unrealistically prolific filmography of Jesus Franco. So far, really not impressed. Finished up the first Jesus Franco movie I found on YT, The Girl from Rio, which bored me. And now I'm halfway through Welles' The Trial. Yikes... It's very engrossing, but hard to swallow!
