i had actually never heard of this movie until i saw a post about it on tumblr, lol. it’s a really enjoyable movie! very funny and sweet. + it’s pre-Code, so it definitely feels “ahead of its time” :)
Ernst Lubitsch, 1933. Erotic. Sucker for movies based on plays, and this one is the best of the best. Polyamory, power exchange, mom stuff. Miriam Hopkins!
This film follows a seven-year-old child as they hang out at their grandfather's home all day. The adults are planning a big party for the child's father. Why this party is happening and the child processing this will leave you in tears. It's also an achingly beautiful film, thematically and visually. Really captures the feel of being a kid and feeling lost in the little details of the world.
