The Taste of Things. Blew me away. One of those films that I think achieves/nears perfection on its own terms, which I could only say about, what, 10-20 films I've seen?

I also saw One From The Heart, by Coppola. Might be my favorite Coppola film.

A shameless attempt to court Oliver Thaddeus Craner.

It's just had a HD restoration, is that the one you saw? I am salivating over the prospect.
Michael Powell was on set when he was making this one.

Yup, 4K restoration and director's cut!
IFC Center - One From the Heart: Reprise
4K Restoration & Director’s Cut! Hank (Frederic Forrest) and Frannie (Teri Garr) argue while celebrating their fifth anniversary. Yearning for a life of excitement and romance, Frannie fears that she is wasting her life on a man who shows no interest in her dreams of traveling to far-off places...

Is that true about Powell?
Yes. Coppola was paying him to hang around Zoetrope Studios at this time. I don't know how much he actually did (by his own account not much), but 'One From the Heart' has that peak Powell combination of grandeur, beauty, folly and disaster. I fucking love it.

No, Craner's a notorious liar.

I might watch Peeping Tom soon. Finishing up Panic in Needle Park now. I know, cliche Valentine’s Day fare.

So I just went through the 1,842 films I've seen and gave a 0-5 star rating on Letterboxd, and the only 5-star reviews I gave were for:
The Long Day Closes (1992)
The Color of Pomegranates (1968)
The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928)
Man with a Movie Camera (1929)
Loving Vincent (2017)
There are probably a handful of films I'd call perfect in their own right, but they don't necessarily overlap with those 5-star reviews. With the stars, and the logic behind that mode of rating, its a combination of stuff like: how important is this film in the evolution of my appreciation of the artform? how deeply did this film resonate with me? do what degree could I discern mastery or innovation of the artform? etc.
Nothing too systematic, I just went through over the last two days and gave a kneejerk rating to all of these, kinda just wanted to see what the spread would look like if I did it in so purely an instinctual manner.
