Finally acknowledged the hypocrisy and given up meat. I’ve always liked animals and turns out that it takes very little to keep more of them alive, just eat less of them. Or don’t eat them at all, eat something similar.

Anyways, this alignment of my actions and ideals has synchronised perfectly with some brilliant films released this year, listed below as supplementary recommendations:

Raw

Favourite film of the year so far, no question. Wrote a review/ analysis available here – but would advise to watch it without knowing anything. Dark, funny and stylish.

Okja

Bong Joon Ho’s Netflix released political satire takes the form of a fantasy adventure film. This one is dark and funny but in separate blows, which in turn have huge consequences. Big dose of stylism too. A unique and fascinating watch.

Carnage

TV film that is a little more on the nose with it’s points and pretty effective for it. Made me give up milk anyway.

(I used to love drinking milk like an infantilised film villain and didn’t know how it was procured. So fuck it – Hazelnut milk tastes great by itself and Soy goes fine in coffee.)

 

Bonus revisit:

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

 

Iconic horror film that has a sly meat is murder subtext going on.
