Should get a US release, at least NY or LA, go see it, or see it now if you’re in France. Touching, small, funny, human, delightful film with non-actor local French Jurassien cast (eastern France). 90 minute runtime.
I really enjoyed Jacques Audiards A Prophet, which is about life in prison also Claire Denis' Beau Travail it was probably one of the most aesthetically pleasing movies I've seen and I highly recommend Lukas Dhonts Close, I can't even describe how devastating this film was, it's a Belgian film but they speak french so I'd say it counts, it's a must watch imoo.
This past week I went to Film at Lincoln Centers Rendez-Vous with French Cinema and saw some amazing films. Contemporary French cinema is doing really amazing, creative things...
It's so important to interact with media outside what you regularly interact with. If you liked Anatomy of a Fall, there's a chance you'll like some of other films that came out recently.
My top 3 are: La Vénus d'argent, Un métier sérieux, and Le Règne animal.
Viewed this flick at Anthology Film Archives on Thursday night. Incredible movie about a donkey, but mostly just life - joys and sorrows and loss and love. It touched me deeply.
Got lasik about a year ago and fell off on using lubricating eye drops. Started up again and it’s incredible how dry eye can make you feel fatigued and like ugly I don’t know how else to describe it. Your eyes might be dry just from staring at a screen even if you haven’t had lasik. Something to consider, remembering to use them has made me feel like a thriving human again whenevr I notice I’m tired and losing focus for no reason
Iconic hits interspersed with beautiful songs, her voice is velvet, all unskippable either as background or for a real contemplative listen, all about love and devotion
