Here's another blindspot for me! Seeing as you are part of the Hossein hive, where is a good place for a newbie to start? Maybe one of the three in that Radiance set? Per usual, the writing in this article is top-tier and made me even more curious what this Hossein guy is all about. Cheers! :)

Thank you, as always, Jericho, for taking the time to read!! This was such a fun piece to immerse myself in. As for Hossein, you’re right on the money — the three in the Radiance set actually became my favorite Hossein-directed watches. The Vampire of Düsseldorf is also excellent! I’d be really curious to hear what you think of his work.

I added those three as well as Düsseldorf (mostly cuz I like the title haha). I'll def report back on my Hossein deep dive!

What a great write-up. Hossein isn't making films about men who lose... his films are about men who were never free to begin with, and the horror is how long it takes them to notice.

Yes! That’s exactly right. Thank you so much for reading this one — it’s truly been one of my favourite pieces to write to date.
