The Preening Swan (2011)
Disturbing and Comedic
"The Preening Swan" is the perfect break you need from other nightmare inducing films, holding a perfect balance between disturbing and comic relief. The B-movie nature of the film is highly stylized to replicate a classic slasher film, which I got a good laugh out of, while still keeping me engaged through intentional choices made by Director Thomy Kessler. The plot definitely had me guessing the whole time, and it was an entertaining way to get that Halloween feel while not being scared to go to bed afterwards! I highly recommend giving it a watch!
Kiss the Ground (2020)
Breathtaking
I can't remember the last time I saw a film so absolutely breathtaking. The cinematography of "Kiss the Ground" does an amazing job at capturing the nature of our planet and showing the growth towards restoration. The images this documentary provides are incredibly powerful; even the very last scenes gave me goosebumps. Josh and Rebecca Tickell do a fantastic job at implementing a powerful message and showing that change is possible. I felt incredibly hopeful that we can come together to reverse climate change. After viewing the vivid imagery, data, and graphics in this film, it just motivates me even more to be a part of the movement. Something this beautiful deserves to be watched and appreciated.
