I love Ball Of Fire and Bringing Up Baby both. Stanwyck angrily placing some books on the floor so she can reach to kiss Cooper is perfection.

Evil does not exist (Hamaguchi, 2023). Great film though for once too short: the ending tries to pull something along the lines of a magical realist trick that felt like a way of trying to end something prematurely. But I really loved almost evetything up to it.
The guy has a talent for filming conversations in cars too.

Just dropping in to say I saw Poolman and was delighted by it. It's a mess as a film but so lovable I was won over. The dialog at the beginning is so full of bizarre non-sequiturs it made me feel like I was stoned!
