The Tobacconist
A magical realism story of Nazi Germany. Eye Candy. I totally forgot that I watched this movie in 2020. So i officially watched 11 indie films in the year of our Pandemic, with a new baby!
Dick Johnson is Dead (indie film #10)
Free on Netflix- one of the best life affirming documentaries on death that you’ll ever see. Also, a very excellent film. Kirsten Johnson works with her dad deals with her dad’s worsening dementi...
Jimmy Carter: Rock and Roll President (indie film #9)
Presidents were much different in the 70’s. Very entertaining! I’d recommend this film, especially if you know nothing about Jimmy Carter.
I'm Thinking of Ending Things (indie film #8)
This one left me haunted and scared. From Charlie Kaufman, probably most well known for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. A new couple visit the boyfriend’s family on a rural farm, but every...
First Cow (indie film #7)
Probably the best film i’ve seen this year, i had a feeling it would be. Kelly Reichardt, the director, is not from Portland- but lives here- and has made several films based in Oregon (Meek’s Cu...
Never Rarely Sometimes Always (indie film #6)
My favorite film podcast hosts, (Filmspotting) recommended this small film. Someone even likened it to a movie i loved either last year or the year before (Leave No Trace). This one follows a typ...
Vast of Night (indie film #5)
I’m catching up on my indie films for the year. Might even shovel out the $12 for a feature film to watch at home. Thinking of one called Clementine, a queer love story to celebrate Pride. Amazon...
Blow the Man Down (indie film #4)
Era of the online new release. This one is on amazon prime. Fun film that is reminiscent of Fargo and with twists like Knives Out. If you liked either of these, please check this one out! I is a ...
Portrait of a Lady on Fire (indie film #3)
I purchased tickets to see this film the night i ended up giving birth to my little River, but saw it on Hulu last week. Beautiful and worth another watch.
Knives Out (indie film #2)
Again, with this film, I’m not sure it is actually an indie film- Rian Johnson is a fairly well-known director since that Star Wars movie. But, he did start out as an indie filmmaker (and beloved...
Marriage Story (indie film #1)
I’ve enjoyed films by this director for many years now. Marriage Story is one of his best (granted, i haven’t seen everything) There are reasons this one was up for the Oscars. I don’t know if it...
Book Description
Trying for one indie film per month, though with the impending birth of a tiny human at the end of Feb, I’m curious how many i’ll get to!
