The colour of pomegranates — Sergei Parajanov

My final solo recommendation. A film that is highly raved and I vividly remember thinking it was a fever dream when I first watched it years ago. Also honourary mentions: Wolf House — Cristóbal León and Joaquin Cociña The Hourglass Sanatorium — Wojciech Has

Cold War

This is the most stunning film I have ever seen. I have rewatched it countless times and each time it feels like a gift. My dad’s side of the family is from Poland so I feel extra proud of this one, but even my non-Polish friend’s who have seen it come away feeling  inspired. Please watch it even if you think you aren’t interested in black & white foreign films. Even if you have no soul, the actors are so smoking hot gorgeous magical that you will be obsessed. The director, Pawel Pawlikowski, is a genius.

cold war by Director: Paweł Pawlikowski

Black and white polish movies aren’t as severe as their Hungarian counterparts(hi, Bela Tarr) but they carry just as much mystery and style. Plus there’s a bit of sensuality. Never has the phrase, “I love him and that’s that” sounded more doomed or sexy.

With the checkerboard at the back? That’s right. I love using them unironically. And I love pictures of rocks.

finding the right people

And you’re set for life (with the added effort of maintaining it). I used to try to surround myself with people who I thought were cool and also tried so bad to fit in. I still do feel conscious about that sometimes when I front for a person I place on a pedestal or really am infatuated with (in a platonic way). I’ve also had friends I get easily frustrated with who point out my mistakes as jokes but I’ve realised are super flawed and insecure. It becomes a relationship where you slowly turn into a projection of them. (I’m not sure how to phrase it). And I’m the kind that forgives very easily the moment someone is nice to me. Howeverrrrr… over the past few years and more so over the past year I found a group of people I could be open and comfortable with… and I have to say an open and fulfilling relationship with the right people and friends will make you a much better person overall. I’ve also been so inspired by the circle of friends I’ve got now. It’s not necessarily the friends who always ask you to go out to shop or hang but the friends who you do things with and talk about anything with. Gratefully & Gratituously, I love my friends.
