My review of Act Without Words I on Letterboxd boxd.it/6cX7RF

Review of ‘Act Without Words I’ (2001)boxd.it I love how this is just a fairly straightforward mime routine because normal mime routines are already so dark and surreal even Beckett can't make them much more fucked up. Maybe the very end where…

one of the most satisfying feelings is when you're watching a programme filmed in front of a live audience, and they do one of those routines where they string a gag out for deliberately too long, and when the gag finally ends you get to hear the audience erupt in applause.

It's funny that Greensleeves is thought of as a really romantic song because most people just know the beautiful tune and first three words of the lyrics ("alas, my love..."), but the actual lyrics are just the Elizabethan equivalent to an incel anthem.

"Sir, Birnam Wood has come to Dunsinane."

samuel beckett is often considered an absurdist, but i've always viewed his work as more surrealist than absurdist. absurdism tends to have plots that, while bizarre, can be described, at least on a literal level, without much difficulty. most of beckett's stuff can't be.

My review of King John on Letterboxd boxd.it/6cEc4l

Review of ‘King John’ (1899)boxd.it First ever Shakespeare film has the typical flaws of silent era Shakespeare - there's no way to adapt works so reliant on the poetry of their dialogue to the silent screen - but at least is short.

My review of Statue of Liberty on Letterboxd boxd.it/6cEa7n

Review of ‘Statue of Liberty’ (1898)boxd.it Oh, my God. I'm back. I'm home. All the time, it was- We finally really did it. YOU MANIACS! YOU BLEW IT UP! AH, DAMN YOU! GODDAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!

My review of Waiting for Godot on Letterboxd boxd.it/6cydWr

A review of Waiting for Godot (2001)boxd.it Beckett in Chronological Order (1/37) Watching through all the Beckett on Film plays, in chronological order for their source material 1. Waiting for Godot Still stands above its countless imitators. Incredible how much Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead took from this actually. You know, a tragicomic play about two guys, one neurotic and cynical, the other less intelligent but more accepting of their lot in life, who spend their lives waiting in the wings of a story they're not the stars of and they also meet some bizarre travelling performers along the way and the whole thing ends up as

wtf

You got me there bro. Will you buy our book on the subject? Might want to screenshot Columbia Edu Press.

(Joker voice) "Post 'don't call yourself an anti-Zionist as a Jew if you still live in Israel, and nobody bats an eye. Post 'don't call yourself a Feminist as a cis man if you still haven't transitioned', and everyone loses their minds." (Both of these takes are unironically true btw.)

I hate when they do audience Q&As after film screenings because the questions people ask are always so dumb and basic, not because they're dumb or basic people, but because of course you can't formulate a good question merely 5 minutes after watching like a Lav Diaz film.
