There is a tv series called maybe Week of the Condor with Max Irons, I saw the first two episodes once, it's the same story in which a FBI office is assassinated and they miss one guy who ends up being hunted by The Man. Maybe they expand on the conspiracy more over 20 episodes though.

Never seen Z but seen a few of his other films and they are really good.
Night Moves is more like a serial killer thing isn't it?

The 70s seems to be the peak of this sort of film, at least in America. I guess it's partly down to JFK followed by Watergate.
 

woops

is not like other people
funny, under a silver lake really reminded me of south land tales, same sort of kitsch surrealism and they both feature that i've got soul but i'm not a soldier song which is shit.

I did rewatch Under the Silver Lake btw. Thought it was better second time around.
It was much easier to work out what was and what wasn't important, also became obvious he was going through a bad break up and it was colouring everything he did. The aimlessness, the poor hygiene, the sleeping around and creeping, the violent rages, the obsession with his neighbour, the neglecting of his rent and car payments. It all makes sense once you realise he's in a state after breaking up with the woman he keeps seeing on those billboards who he later bumps into at that party he follows the coyote to.

Something else which jumped out at me was the way he talks about the homeless when he goes on that big rant is more or less how the "king" he meets in the hut talks about this world and people like him being locked out of the one they're ascending to. I also think the homeless guy he ends up yelling at before the woman gets shot in the reservoir may be in on the conspiracy as the "Homeless King" is part of it and there's all the hobo code stuff, so there's obviously a network of them who know some of what's going on and are leaving the symbols, guarding the tunnels and perhaps murdering people on behalf of the wealthy.

The Owl's Kiss I reckon's one, or more than one, of the girls working for the escort service. Maybe the one with short hair. That pirate guy who's involved with his neighbour and the ascension tombs is also seen with them, so they're all connected to the same people.
