Criterion Challenge 2023 #1 - Random Number Generator (I got 472)
Imamura captures Japan’s sordid history during the post WWII era, in one of the most powerful allegorical stories I have seen.

High and Low (1963)
Kurosawa presents us with so much depth with seemingly so little on the surface. He allows the viewers to think about what he has shown and it genuinely lingers on even days after watching the film. It is a masterful work and definitely my favorite of his.
Ugetsu (1953)
One of my favorite aspects of watching movies is when you know something is special even without context. This happened to me with Ugetsu.
The Wind Rises (2013)
I hope Miyazaki will follow up this film with another one that is even more mature, and filled with more passion.
Shoplifters (2018)
Look a little closer though, and you will start seeing what makes it so special.
Audition (1999)
Audition is a film which I should enjoy.
