THE TEACHER'S LOUNGE (2023, D. Ilker Çatac) is one long workplace anxiety attack. It starts as a mystery-- someone stealing the coffee money from the teacher's lounge-- and escalates into a study of prejudice, false accusations, and institutional fecklessness. #YabtM #reviews #YouTube #movies #film #cinema #CineMastodon #FilmMastodon #Germany #monly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pXmbm71egM

COLD WAR (2013, D. Pawel Pawlikowski) is a romance set behind the Iron Curtain in the 1950s, a tragic love story about a young Polish folk music performer and a composer. The cinematography is sublime and the art direction recreates the era precisely. #poland #coldwar #YabtM #reviews #YouTube #movies #film #cinema #CineMastodon #FilmMastodon #monly

THE DECLINE OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION (1981, D. Penelope Spheeris) is a snapshot of a short-lived cultural moment, the early days of Southern California punk rock. We debate about sincerity: which bands were genuinely anti-establishment and which were pure show business. #YabtM #reviews #YouTube #movies #film #cinema #CineMastodon #monly #FilmMastodon #PunkRock https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlaiP_Clbrk
