the WIFE'S SAD MONOLOGUE

Low-key the best thing about the film after two hours of MEN FANNYING AROUND WITH SLINGSHOTS.

The PATHOS

 

[The Unholy Ghost]

I have seen Solaris and the one about the painter which I WON'T LIE TO YOU dragged on A FAIR BIT.

SURELY NOT!

I feel like his films are not something you watch while casually SCROLLING ON SCRUFF.

It could be said...

The PATHOS

"It's better to have a bitter happiness than a dull, grey life."

 

[Peekaboo]

Mirror sounds like a DELIGHT!

Mirror initially polarized critics and audiences, with many finding its narrative incomprehensible.

They're showing it at the BFI on the 28th Moopy outing?!

 

[The Unholy Ghost]

I do find it disconcerting (on a roll here) that the actors' voices usually appear to be overdubbed in Tarkovsky's films. Although it does add an extra strangeness

 

[The Unholy Ghost]

They're showing it at the BFI on the 28th

I do hope this isn't more lies and it was 28 January

 

[The Unholy Ghost]

Oh no it actually is 28 February!

The film's loose flow of oneiric () images has been compared with the stream of consciousness technique associated with modernist literature.

 

[Peekaboo]

Shit seats left though, front row left block I'm not sure having ONEIRIC RUSSIAN VISUAL POEMS beamed an INCH away from your retina is a good idea.

I watched this lovely homosexual movie tonight



It’s very touching, wistful and sexy. The kind of twink shit that the Moopy book folks love.

I feel seen, read and discarded

[Phoenix]

This movie is fantastic.

 

[Christian]

I've had that on my watchlist for a while - don't know where I first heard about it!

 

[Phoenix]

It came out in Cannes last year and several critics loved it. It almost got lost in the awards rush.

 

[Zu]

Oh my God favourite film ever Three Colours: Blue 4K () at the Ciné Lumière for the next month? Yes! NOW!

*sobs all the way through*

 

[Zu]

I'm seeing The Night Of The 12th tomorrow

 

[Zu]

Kieślowski booked in for Sunday. I was planning on working but FUCK THAT!

 

[Zu]

Let's have the scene from La double vie de Véronique where Weronika SEES HER DOUBLE

 

[Jocasta Clun]

I'm seeing The Night Of The 12th tomorrow

Ooh I'm going to go and see this the week after next

I've got BFI PLAYER on my new tellybox so I'm watching all the pouffy stuff (again in some cases). Firebird: WHAT A LOAD OF OLD TAT!

 

[Jocasta Clun]

Also ENYA MEN is out on there on MAY 1 so I might get to see it at last if NOBODY ELSE INCONSIDERATELY DROPS DEAD

 

[Zu]

Ooh I'm going to go and see this the week after next

Darling I'm just back from The Night Of The 12th. FANTASTIQUE

 

[Zu]

I started LIGHTLY SHAKING AND CRYING during the Three Colours: Blue 4K TRAILER so God knows what horrifying sort of state I'll get myself into during the actual film tomorrow

 

[Jocasta Clun]

Also ENYA MEN is out on there on MAY 1 so I might get to see it at last if NOBODY ELSE INCONSIDERATELY DROPS DEAD

There's some ENYA MEN DEATH WISH CONNECTION going on here

 

[Zu]

I started LIGHTLY SHAKING AND CRYING during the Three Colours: Blue 4K TRAILER so God knows what horrifying sort of state I'll get myself into during the actual film tomorrow

Safely home and there was no need to be helped to my feet by the Ciné Lumière staff

I’d forgotten that it’s the ELLIPSES which get me every single time. Sorry Cheryl, you can stick your silly ghost story - I want to see this for the approximately 56th and 57th time

And OH! The 4K restoration!

 

[Jocasta Clun]

Oh I did like NIGHT OF THE 12TH although SOME PEOPLE were perplexed that NOTHING MUCH HAPPENED but luckily I was awash with TARTIFLETTE and MUSCADET from CHEZ JULES so was feeling PARTICULARLY GALLICALLY TUNED *shrugs*

 

[Beverley]

Watches Cairo Conspiracy, which I thought was very good.

 

[Phoenix]

I'm going a WEEK ON THURSDAY so NO SPOILERS PLEASE

Waiting for WORD tomorrow on the premiere of PASSAGES with BEN WISHAW and FRANZ ROGOWSKI as THE GAYS

I got tickets to see this at the end of the month at the homosexual film festival

 

[Jocasta Clun]

I've watched ENYA MEN twice in three days and I'm now feeling DISTINCTLY PERTURBED. Pass the MAY BOUGHS MRS TREGWINNETH and LET'S HAVE A SINGSONG

 

[Saltwater]

Tonight was ‘The man with the answers’.

View attachment 3221

Just watched this. Expected much worse but it was kind of cute and made me smile a couple of times.
7. 8

 

[Jocasta Clun]

I really liked that. I also watched THEO AND HUGO which gives STRANGER BY THE LAKE a run in the FILTH stakes. HONESTLY THOSE FRENCHIES

 

[Phoenix]

Watched Afire (Christian Petzold of Phoenix fame) tonight and loved it. Leon the main character is a pill like no other.

Some others that I watched over the last 2 months:

Subtraction, an Iranian Hitchcock doppelgänger thriller was quite good.

Joyland, also really loved it but it felt more the story of the wife than the homo husband.

The Night of the 12th, yeah it doesn’t get resolved (they tell you that from the beginning) but I love a good procedural and it’s French.

 

[Jocasta Clun]

Just watched ROTTING IN THE SUN

All I can say is

 

[jyxz]

Just watched ROTTING IN THE SUN

All I can say is

Just watched this myself.

LOVED IT! TWELVETY OUT OF TEN
