For me, personally, it’s a perfect film. It is extremely fun and rewatchable, the acting performances are on top (especially Steve Buscemi, absolutely loved him in this), the cinematography is insane (the car park scene, wow!), the dialogue is sharp, the humor is top notch (and it gets funnier every time I watch it) and the story just unfolds in the most insane ways, without it feeling artificial. I love how unprofessional, pathetic and idiotic Steve Buscemi’s character is. Also, the Brainerd murders scene is perhaps the finest sequence the Coens ever did. It’s just so intense, adrenaline filled and constantly escalating. Marge (Frances McDormand’s character) is obviously the heart and soul of the film and she absolutely deserved that Oscar. Overall, this film grew on me over time, I absolutely love it and it’s probably my favorite Coens Brothers’ film.

A strange, psychedelic, anxiety provoking and really clever film. One of the Coens’ best imo

Kundun is a film that is often overlooked in Scorsese’s filmography, which is a shame, because it’s a great, human and heartfelt story about the life of Dalai Lama. It greatly explores the themes of compassion, kindness, violence and religion during oppressive times. The direction is also stellar, every shot just breathes life and is so stylistically appealing. The music by Philip Glass deserves a shoutout too, it’s amazing.
