Reactions to Corridor of Mirrors (1948), which I watched at the end of last week.
I wonder if this film could be read as about the tension between… I don’t know, Romanticism and formalism, neo-classicism. An ex-painter in an empty mansion, desperate to recapture the past (and a mythical love from another age).
And lots of mirrors, bodies, malingering, beautiful spaces with hidden layers.

Been at this #filmcriticism game long enough I might start sharing older reviews via #ThrowbackThursday. First, the first film I reviewed at the Cameo after moving back to #Edinburgh: #FILTH, based on @IrvineWelsh’s novel, directed by Jon S. Baird. 10 years later I still think this is #JamesMcAvoy’s best work on #film. https://takeonecinema.net/2013/filth-review/
“FILTH should reward you with a simultaneously manic, darkly comic & repulsive sprint through the twisted corridors of a crumbling mind.” (@TAKEONECinema)

Anyone who entertains the idea of "mcu humor", "marvel writing" (jokes, quips, sarcasm, comedy, etc) as a slur or critique/analysis is media illiterate. mcu films didn't invent any of that and are a damn sight tame and serious compared to what's in marvel's comic books.
