A REVIEW FOR MY #1 FAVORITE FEATURE FILM OF MY ENTIRE EXISTENCE, AND MAYBE FOREVER WITH A 99.95% PROBABILITY. ------------------------------------------------- ✟Edit for January 6th, 2026✟ To the one that made me reflect on cinema's history, who enamoured me with poetic…

Justin DeclouxJan 2, 2019Bahahahahahahahahahahahaha Letterboxd, you are incredible. You somehow managed to rangle up countless spectacular ratings, shot this right up the top 250 list, and suckered me and a bunch of other users into spending 7 whole hours watching a bunch of Hungarian villagers…
Connor4ReelJan 7, 2021A travelogue of purgatory at the end of history, with characters set adrift with only the manipulations of an eerily hypnotic cult-like figure to guide them. After seven arduous hours, the punchline hits: said absentee ruler is nothing but a rat for the cops, who no longer…

The first part (4,5/5): - Casually ragebaiting the officer until he shares his profound views on life and society The middle part (4/5): - The forehead-bread is the way of the distinguished gentleman The last part (3,5/5): THE TURK IS COMING THE TURK IS COMING
