I did not expect Mating Season to hit this hard. It feels completely of this moment. Straight onto my favourites.

An Observation Log of My Fiancée Who Calls Herself a Villainess is the real thing. It is kind to its people, and that kindness is the point. Go in knowing as little as you can.
Everything I hoped Jia Zhangke's Dance would be, and more. Every choice feels considered. Straight onto my favourites.
Mostly about the craft.
