Ingrid and Alfred double-bill:
SPELLBOUND - πΊπΈ - Two main problems with Spellbound. 1) The silly, po-faced psychoanalysis stuff does weigh it down, and 2) Hitchcock just happened to make better movies using this 'man on the run' template both before and after it
β β β
UNDER CAPRICORN -π¬π§ - Uncharacteristic slowburn period drama from Hitch. He considered it to be a 'mistake'. The Cahiers du Cinema lot thought it was among his very finest films. I don't entirely subscribe to either of those views, but the French were closer than the big man
β β β β
SARRAOUINIA - π§π« π²π· - Ambitiously constructed anti-colonialist war epic
β β β β
NEIGHBOURING SOUNDS - π§π· - One of those films where I think 'Yes, OK, but where are you going with this?' for quite a lot of the runtime, but it all comes together in the end
