this cheery twat, who invented the oculus vr, will one day likely help kill millions of people.
I watched two good films last night. la ceremonie - a violent tale directed by Claude Chabrol in his usual detached style. Issabelle Huppert and Sandrine Bonnaire are excellent. Huppert is hyper-energetic and hilarious, especially in the scenes where the two ransack the house of their victims, an upper-class family in a small town.
I watched the first half a couple of years ago but must have dozed off before the real action started.
And another violent flick pitting the help against the family - The Housemaid, directed by Kim Ki-young • 1960 • South Korea. Reminded me a bit more of Whatever Happend to Baby Jane than Bunuel's surrealism, which it sometimes gets compared to. Lots of camera moves and a very deliberate style overall. Over the top and twisted.
I found both movies on Criterion via the channel's interviews with Bong Joon Ho.

That's why corporate profits are higher than they've been since at least 1947. pic.twitter.com/ExTZlc2GWJ

With a heavy heart, I tell you that my father, Donald Sutherland, has passed away. I personally think one of the most important actors in the history of film. Never daunted by a role, good, bad or ugly. He loved what he did and did what he loved, and one can never ask for more… pic.twitter.com/3EdJB03KKT

I spent an hour looking for something to watch and finally settled on Shoplifters. Had to see it in two viewings because I was tired from the search. Excellent performances by the entire cast. I found some of the end a little implausible but I don't know much about Japanese law. One of the better films I've seen recently.
