⋆｡˚ ༘ ⋆·˚✧ film stuffs! ✧˚·⋆༘ ˚｡⋆
I have always loved movies, but it wasn't until recently that I started trying to understand their language or how they're made. There are still a lot of gaps in my understanding of film history, which I am slowly attempting to rectify.
My favorite directors are Park Chan-wook and David Cronenberg. Here is a small, nonexhaustive collection of my favorites, grouped by genre/region/time period. You can also visit my Letterboxd, but don't trust the reviews from when I was 15!
✧ old hollywood ✧
I've barely scratched the surface of pre-70s movies in general, but these are the ones I would recommend to anyone who thinks older films are boring.
✧ j-horror ✧
Have had an odd fascination with Japanese horror ever since I was a child. Pulse in particular stands out as probably the greatest horror ever made to me.
✧ body horror ✧
I love the word Cronenbergian. Cronenberg's Crash is not technically a horror, and thank god for that, otherwise this section would be 3/4 Cronenbergian.
✧ romance ✧
The rumors are true, I am a hopeless romantic at heart, and these are the romances that undo me completely.
✧ ghibli ✧
Nothing made me feel the way Ghibli movies did when I was a child. Occasionally I imagine watching them with my as-of-yet nonexistent children, just to experience them for the first time again.
