The Origin of Evil
Tumblr media
The Origin of Evil    [trailer]
A woman on the verge of financial collapse attempts to reconnect with her wealthy, estranged father and his new family.
It starts out slow, and you wonder why you should continue to spend time with these people. But then is starts to get interesting and it's worth watching 'til the end.

Well, it may be a few days late, but it's here! One of my favorite new year traditions: my ten favorite new-to-me films of 2022!
This year was particularly challenging for me, but we made it through, and thanks in no small part to these beautiful films. They're wildly different, but they all moved me and got under my skin in ways I couldn't shake, so please consider this a strong endorsement for each of them!
The same rules as always: no movies from this past year (2022) or the year prior (2021). Every other year is fair game.
Tumblr media
01. After Life (dir. Hirokazu Kore-eda, 1998; Japan; 119 mins.) “I was part of someone else’s happiness.”
It starts with a great premise: After death, people get one week to select one memory from their lives to hold onto for the rest of time. I knew I was always going to love After Life because I tend to love Kore-eda’s films. This is almost certainly his most compassionate film (which is saying something, considering compassion is pretty much his whole deal), and, as usual for him, the actors all give terrific performances. What I wasn’t anticipating was how much After Life ends up being, of all things, a love letter to dramaturgy. It goes back to the film’s very premise. The memory people keep forever isn’t really their memory – not exactly anyway. It’s a performance, a reenactment painstakingly crafted and filmed by the people who work in this bardo. When the client selects their memory, the storytellers begin building it as a narrative, as something with a script and a clear arc. I can imagine some people finding this to be depressing, but it almost sounds like my dream job. 
Side note: I watched this film about a week before my birthday, and at the time I was also playing a lot of the gorgeous video game Spiritfarer on Nintendo Switch, which is all about ferrying wayward souls to the other side. Turns out my capacity for cosmic yearning and spiritual angst knows no bounds.
After Life is currently streaming on the Criterion Channel.
Tumblr media
02. Jackie Brown (dir. Quentin Tarantino, 1997; USA; 154 mins.)
“I’ll send you a postcard.”
Tarantino is a hit-or-miss filmmaker like no other for me, but holy cow, y’all, when he hits, he hits. Everything about Jackie Brown comes together as gracefully as possible, and it’s stunning, frankly, that it was only Tarantino’s third feature. It’s pulpy, it’s twisty, it climaxes with as thrilling a sting as I’ve ever seen, and every scene – every second, really – feels effortless. To watch Jackie Brown is to feel safe in the hands of a storyteller at the top of their craft. Since I’m a sap, it helps that this is most likely his most tender film: every character is so well-drawn and well-realized, and every actor is doing great work (Bridget Fonda, Micheal Keaton, a weirdly against-type Robert De Niro), but the film’s three leads turn in career-best performances. Pam Grier makes Jackie a heroine for the ages, Samuel L. Jackson is a terrifying and magnetic tour de force, and Robert Forster, the heart of the film, is breathtakingly decent in a typhoon of violence and crime. The three performances, rich enough on their own, are at their best when they’re sharing the screen. It’s nothing short of electrifying.
Jackie Brown is currently available on demand.
Tumblr media
03. Barry Lyndon (dir. Stanley Kubrick, 1975; UK/USA; 185 mins.)
“Good or bad, handsome or ugly, rich or poor, they are all equal now.”
I’m glad I finally crossed Barry Lyndon off my watchlist, even if it’s clearly the kind of film that rewards multiple viewings. Kubrick’s meticulous world-building has rarely been more accomplished or authentic than it is here. The sprawling world of Barry Lyndon stretches beyond the edges of the screen, with a huge cast of great character actors giving superb performances. The film’s legendary design work is every bit as staggering as its reputation suggests: John Alcott’s jaw-dropping cinematography, Ken Adam and Roy Walker’s extravagant art direction, and Milena Canonero and Ulla-Britt Söderlund’s gorgeous costumes. It’s also surprisingly funny! A genuinely magnificent piece of work from a master filmmaker.
Barry Lyndon is currently streaming on HBO Max.
Tumblr media
04. F for Fake (dir. Orson Welles, 1973; France/Iran/West Germany)
“Our songs will all be silenced. But what of it? Go on singing.”
At least 80% of F for Fake is footage of Orson Welles stream-of-consciousness monologuing about art and culture and history and making himself chuckle in different fields and parks and cafés while wearing little hats and jackets. Naturally, I loved it. A strange, poetic, and fascinating magic trick of a film, further proof that Welles was truly in a class of his own as a storyteller, a filmmaker, an illusionist, and a self-made myth. What a gift.
F for Fake is currently streaming on HBO Max and the Criterion Channel.
Tumblr media
05. There Was a Father (dir. Yasujiro Ozu, 1942; Japan)
“There’s nothing to be sad about.”
Yasujiro Ozu is rightly regarded as one of the world’s greatest filmmakers, but I’ve long had a pet theory that he was one of the great dramatists of the 20th century. All of his films play out as carefully plotted chamber dramas, their enormous emotional power hidden in the smallest, most subdued interactions between its characters. There Was a Father is as bleak and beautiful as any of Ozu’s films, and maybe the most gutting. At the heart is frequent Ozu collaborator Chishu Ryu, who gives a stoic, honest, and shattering performance as a man whose worldview left him detached from his family and emotionally numb. It’s hard to imagine this being approved by the Japanese national censors during World War II, but thank goodness we have it.
There Was a Father is currently streaming on the Criterion Channel.
Tumblr media
06. Betty Tells Her Story (dir. Liane Brandon, 1972; USA; 20 mins.)
“I guess I still haven’t solved the way I felt about that. The uncomfortableness of being praised for a prettiness I never had, but, you know, kind of excitement about feeling very special suddenly. And it’s gone.”
A short masterpiece of solo storytelling. Liane Brandon fixes her camera on Betty, who recounts a story about buying and losing an expensive dress to wear to a gala. She tells the same story twice – once for the factual sequence of events and once to describe the way she felt as it was happening – and the contrast is amazing to watch. Wherever Betty went after telling Brandon her story, I hope she was happy. Betty Tells Her Story was just inducted into the National Film Registry, ensuring this devastating, empathetic, monumental piece of filmmaking can be preserved forever. Thank God for that.
Betty Tells Her Story is currently streaming on the Criterion Channel.
Tumblr media
07. Donkey Skin (dir. Jacques Demy, 1970; France; 90 mins.)
“Donkey Skin! What a beautiful name.”
What a treat. Donkey Skin easily stands alongside Jacques Demy’s earlier musicals The Umbrellas of Cherbourg and The Young Girls of Rochefort as some of the most blissful films in the genre. As with his other films, the production values are off the charts, including some truly outrageous costumes, and an exquisite score from Demy’s frequent collaborator Michel Legrand. The cast is great, too, including the always magnetic Catherine Deneuve, an endearingly goofy Jacques Perrin, a brooding Jean Marais, and high-camp MVP Delphine Seyrig. The humor is delightfully weird, it looks and sounds amazing, and there are a handful of truly inspired musical sequences. It’s a magical film.
Donkey Skin is currently streaming on the Criterion Channel.
Tumblr media
08. Shoes (dir. Lois Weber, 1916; USA; 50 mins.)
“Whatever happened, life must go on. Whatever boats are wrecked, the river does not stop flowing to the sea.”
Lois Weber’s Shoes must be one of the most affecting melodramas in Hollywood history. Anchored by Weber’s beautiful direction and a haunting performance from twenty-year-old Mary MacLaren, the film becomes something of a neorealistic fable in its depiction of an impoverished young woman doing whatever she can to get enough money to buy a much-needed new pair of shoes. The characters feel authentic and Weber’s depiction of poverty is unflinchingly raw, but the simplicity and intimacy of the film are its strengths. A landmark American film.
Shoes is currently streaming on the Criterion Channel.
Tumblr media
09. Edward II (dir. Derek Jarman, 1991; UK; 90 mins.)
“My father is deceased. Come Gaveston, and share the kingdom with thy dearest friend.”
A transgressive, furious film that beautifully draws parallel lines between the late 80s and early 90s and Marlowe’s source material. Everything about Jarman’s Edward II is bleak as hell, boldly queer, and utterly fascinating: Tilda Swinton playing a spurned sociopathic queen in elaborate costumes! Men screaming in the pouring rain! The realm everyone fighting and dying for being a pitch-black labyrinth of concrete! What’s lasted for me, though, is the utterly stunning sequence where Annie Lennox(!) sings Cole Porter’s “Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye” while Edward and Gaveston part ways. A beautiful puzzle of a film.
Edward II is currently available on demand.
Tumblr media
10. Detour (dir. Edgar G. Ulmer, 1945; USA; 66 mins.)
“That’s life. Whichever way you turn, Fate sticks out a foot to trip you.”
This is one lean, nasty noir. Clocking in at just over an hour, Detour is a relentlessly paced and relentlessly mean thriller, one that puts a fittingly mopey Tom Neal in a runaway car in the opening minutes and never, ever lets up. He’s joined (if not supported) by Ann Savage, who gives a truly venomous performance, practically spitting every lethal line she has. It’s bleak, it’s powerful, and it’s gorgeous in its own hellish way. I’ve never connected with film noir quite as much as I would like to, but this is as perfect an example of the genre as I’ve ever seen.
Detour is currently streaming on the Criterion Channel and Prime Video.

Who am I? Previously known as the Third Husband, in the internet I am Rousseau. As stated in my blog’s description, I am eighteen and Brazilian. I am not a writer and this blog merely exists to interact with friends and overall people, as well as with things of my interest.
[The blog name will be back to normal soon]
I like to watch films and anime, play games, read and learn. My favorites are JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Attack on Titan, The Lost Canvas and Monster for anime. For games, Call of Duty [mobile specially] and the good old Roblox. I also enjoy motorsport, particularly Formula 1.
I am really passionate about History and Philosophy, vide the name. Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Baruch Spinoza, Montesquieu and Max Weber are my all time favorites. I am also an art admirer, even if I cannot draw, paint or write.
In conclusion, I am just a sophist, bisexual man looking for some good interactions and camaraderie.
