anyway, this other one i saw the other day:

WHIPLASH (some dude, 2013/14) - a wish fulfillment fable for asocial/narcissistic overachievers obsessed with performance=love, which is the main psychiatric disorder of our civilization. but forget the story which is as intense and straightforward as it is unlikely. i mean the story works, for the duration-- it's intense from beginning to end. then you think it ends and it doesn't and it hits you harder-- but the story is a sort of temporary pleasure of the film fantasy. it doesn't stick with you forever. the spectacle of the film however is highly polished. j.k. simmons as a sadistic mindfucker is great here. and the fucking EDITING is the real thing of beauty in this film. it's really the main character-- it drives everything. well worth watching for this reason.
