Liked Rewatched
A very important film for me, as someone who habitually takes very long stoned walks in the city. The flaneur's transformation from Romantic bohemia to paranoid poverty. The boardgames of Paris take les femmes Ogier from tourist iconography in the city's center to increasingly empty liminal spaces rife with decay and demolition. Shifting genres and versions of the city - Rivette told us from his first film: Paris belongs to them and nobody. The darkness and pessimism is balanced by a generous sense of collaboration and a probing curiousity that unlocks the city's hidden playground, promising danger but also infinite possibility.

Pretty stupid,and not always in a good way! Emma Stone is quite mesmerizing, and without her the whole thing would be pretty unwatchable. Confused by the steampunk kitsch, which seems to be more or less superfluous, especially when Yorgos' aggressively distracting shooting style rarely allows one to really appreciate the craft. The silly girl boss pop feminist conclusions aren't far from Barbie's similarly reductive conclusions, but I was rarely bored! Some interesting connections to Dogtooth (probably still my favorite Yorgos…

Felt like a biopic (derogatory). Hits many familiar beats as a Tortured Genuis narrative and a European Immigrant narrative that it's something of a relief when it indulges a kind of Gothic psychodrama in the second half. Well it would be if those parts were interesting or successful.
Consistently reminding you of its Grand Importance (title cards, declarative dialogue, sweeping music) with very little depth to back up its flashy surface. Also sick of contemporary art films (Tar, for one)…
