Sounds great! But…: There is no God.

If I remember correctly, Bjork had such a miserable experience on Dancer that she promised never to act again (though she did do one film with her then-partner Matthew Barney, if "acting" is the right word for that. It has more of an "art installation" vibe.)

Heart of a Dog is fast and hilarious - that should definitely be your next stop. It's easily one of the funniest Russian works you'll ever read. "The Fatal Eggs" is more of a pure SF story if you want a Soviet update of H.G. Wells; something like White Guard for a sweeping revolutionary drama, etc. He contains…

they fail to capture any animals, so they buy a goldfish, a parakeet, and a rabbit. They come in second place. They go home. That’s it.

Big thumbs up. Have you read any other Bulgakov? (He's consistently great.)

Happy to see that still of Juliet Berto, because I just watched Céline and Julie Go Boating, and loved it (of course). She was also one of the most dynamic and interesting things about OUT 1 (another movie I love), but somehow I've managed to skip over a lot of Godard and hadn't seen any of her work with him. Looks…

I think About Elly is even tighter: the opening act may seem looser as you're going through it, but just as in A Separation, every word, gesture, and silence pays off. Absolutely nothing wasted.

The changes that play out over his face when Dodd sings to him at the end… My favorite bit of acting in the last, I dunno, twenty years?

Ah, thank you - I was hoping for that.

Not sure this discussion needs another take, but…

If the goal is to keep Trump from seeing it, you could just print it out in book form.

Masque has two of my favorite line-readings ever. The first is when Francesca asks who Price's master is, and he says, matter-of-factly, "Satan." Easy to imagine all the ways that line would be so laughable the movie would crumble, and I guess it is laughable, but Price somehow sells it.

"Nothing" is a bit of an overstatement. The Clinton administration began implementing their Climate Change Action Plan in 1993, and signed the Kyoto Protocol in 1997 (only to see its ratification blocked by Congress). Alright to criticize how these played out, but if if you want more detail on these and the other…

Not a single embarrassing thing in that comment. Diesel can still get it.

British stereotype Tennyson Torch (Rory McCann), the Jai Courtney of the group.

Something I never expected to hear on the show: the Pushkin reference during the interrogation was indeed a line from Pushkin's long poem Poltava: "Thus a heavy hammer / that shatters glass [also] forges steel."

The story it's based on is outstanding, and doesn't have that problem. I could barely finish the movie, though.

One of us, gooble gobble!

We'll have to disagree. I think it's the best-constructed and most complete of the three.

I liked it the least of the trilogy, and it's still my most-anticipated movie of the year, just to see what Garland can do with such a wild and seemingly unfilmable concept.
