The Day of the Locust (Schlesinger, 1976)
I really love dodderin' Donald Sutherland as Homer "Yeah, I Can Sort of See It" Simpson in this, but he takes like 40 minutes to show up and therein lies most of my frustration with this movie. Those first two acts burn a long hour of weird tonal shifts, failed tension builds and characters coalescing really slowly while the gauzy, soft-focus, jaundiced Conrad Hall photography mostly just distracts. Until it doesn't. This gets much better as it gets darker and more openly phantasmagoric in the back 9. The Bosch-lite set design above dissolves into that club scene from A Catcher in the Rye and then it's on to Ennis House exterior with a dead horse in the pool. What a great run of reverberant, off-kilter stuff. The world is hard right now, grant me this one: Los Angeles Slays Itself

my son watched it and afterward his mind was blown and he was all "...society?" and I was very proud
a combination of internet takes puts it at a cross between snowpiercer and the first raid with parasite undertones and that sounds about right

this was so sick
so far i really love this and persona, and seventh seal and virgin spring
summer with monika and wild strawberries less so, i guess i'm just more interested if there's some kind of more surrealist/supernatural element. he does some cool things visually in both of those though

I'm maybe a little biased because he's a dear friend, but Highview is the best non-Dorsky lyrical film in the last decade. If you ever have a chance to see him perform it live it's absolutely unmissable.
Assuming the one you weren't so into was Signal 8? That was his first attempt at moving toward a more immediately legible montage style and he was still working some kinks out (though I still think it's quite strong).

E-Ticket (Liu, 2019)
link: https://vimeo.com/339355898
best short on day 1 of the ann arbor ff. liu calls this a “retelling of dante’s inferno” which isn’t immediately apparent but on a rewatch it does look like different parts are supposed to represent the different circles of the inferno. crosses appear in the composition of certain frames throughout and the colors evoke the stained glass windows of a cathedral. very cool. can’t imagine how long it took him to make this. i only saw one other short of his before this which i thought was meh but i'm sold on this guy now
