June: in review

I recently resurrected my old blog, savage desire.  My post was about the movies I had watched in June (until that point).  I have watched 17 movies and will likely watch a couple more before the month ends.  

I came here to write that The Intern, of these 17, is the best movie I saw.  I don't know if that's true, but the sheer impossibility of it crossing my mind is profound in itself.  

I suppose I should lay out the contenders for MONTH'S BEST:

Hot Pursuit - (not a contender) I watched this engulfed in self-hatred for being able to endure.

Her - (not a contender)

Chef - (not a contender)

Amélie - It shows its audience a beautiful human being.  

Synecdoche, New York - I cannot speak well of this movie's brilliance.  I can only say that it masters a certain tonal aesthetic.  Though, being my fourth viewing, the sparkle was not nearly as present.

Enemy - My favorite of Denis Villeneuve's.  I didn't enjoy a movie more this month.
