Les dernières heures du millénaire
★★★ Liked Watched

In love with that coat.

Big up Cedric, even though it was probably too short of a film for me to really like it. Great shots; I loved the score, and I think the acting is great too.

P.S., Say it for free here on Arte.

Alfie Williams, aka son of Spud, plays the Jaden…

The good angry sex you have once you find out she dated a bad boy.

It’s not perfect, but after every other Nosferatu film, I can confidently say that it is the best. I adored how seriously Eggers treats the material. Needless to say, the production is extraordinary (I cried on multiple occasions because of it), and most importantly, I was impressed by how I could finally see the story as a tragic horror/romance.

I was so scared looking at…
