[Thor Joachim Haga]

I can’t share all the films I see here, as sometimes I watch a film just to fill a need or space at any given time. Like, for example, this last week I’ve seen through all five JASON BOURNE films again, just to have a night-time slot to fill before I go to bed. It’s a more utilitarian use, but there’s only so much new you can add about these super famous films (that I love, don’t get me wrong, but it’s more rewarding to speak about less known fare).

But I just saw Aidan Zamiri’s THE MOMENT in a more serious “sit-down-to-watch” session, a film Gloin mentioned early in the thread. I didn’t really care for it. I’ve never really been that interested in behind-the-scenes, “pitfalls of fame-and-fortune”-type films (with some notable exceptions, like 42ND STREET, SMILE 2 and partially VOX LUX), and if they’re from the artists themselves, they usually end up terribly self-important. The Weeknd’s HURRY UP TOMORROW was one such example last year, and this one is yet another example. But definitely some amusing, satirical bits in all its handheld camera chaos. Skarsgård was fun. The surface-value adulation and tribulation the same.
