“Manifesto” has no plot, and the only thing tying the ~dozen scenes together is Cate Blanchett. Her monologues range from common hippie platitudes to batshit insanery, and she moves deftly between the dozen starkly different characters. There’s some beautiful cinematography, but the show is stolen by Blanchett’s incredible performances.

Highly recommended for folks that like “artsy” movies with no plot, or anyone who needs 90 minutes of solid Cate Blanchett.

There’s a difference between a ‘solid 90 minutes of Cate Blanchett’ and ‘90 minutes of solid Cate Blanchett’

Also, were you watching this in 480p or something? It seems like a high-res shot of a low-res source.

No, I just suck at this and took a screenshot while I was watching it.

General question for the masses, here - Is there a slick way to pull a high-res screenshot from a movie? I generally work from my phone which I think limits my options…
