  1. Wow. What a great list, Chloe. No arguments from me! There’s over a dozen of my favorites in there. Talk about perspective.

    I’ve mentioned Michelangelo Antonioni’s L’Avventura and L’Eclisse in passing in other reviews; I reviewed Chungking Express as part of a Tarantino catch-all for his Rolling Thunder imprint.

    I have a review coming up for our all-horror month at B&S for Otakar Vávra’s Witchhammer (1970) that I am really excited I was able to work into that month.

    As always, thanks for visiting and reading!
