This thread is for discussing what you are watching/watched recently. Let us know what you've seen recently whether it's old or new, good or bad, or anything in between. Obviously, movies are preferred, but feel free to post whatever you've been watching. Expect spoilers.
I watched Primer (2004) yesterday and finished Tenet (2020) just now. I like both films, but prefer Primer for its smaller scope.
I think that both films are very rewatchable because the main conceit that structures both films (time travel and doubling) entices you to re-examine certain details in the earlier parts of each film.
In my opinion, though, I think that Primer plants these details more meaningfully: the line of dialogue about the attic needing pest control, the line from Robert or Philip calling Aaron a hero, Abe's change from bearded to shaven, among other examples.
I watched Primer back when it came out and couldn't really get into it. Just very slow and technical. I rewatched it again recently and loved it. I think I just needed to be in the right mood, which seems like a recurring thing for me.
I liked Tenet a lot more than most seemed to, nevermind the dialogue volume problems. I watch most things at home with subtitles anyway. But I do believe the set pieces and action scenes really make the movie. The rest is kind of boring, IMO. And I'm not a "dialogue is boring" type of person. I love slow "talky" movies, but Tenet just didn't hold me except for the action scenes, which were phenomenal.
Primer is an incredible movie. There was once a chart that tried to track the timelines on wikipedia, it was wild. Too bad it got removed years ago.
