devastating watch but still a film I really loved. I think the way this film captures trauma and pain is incredible, and for me, it does that best towards the end – through conversation and the final monologue. I didn’t expect to cry as much as I did. and I didn’t expect to feel as heavy as I currently do after watching it.
i stared at a wall for 2 hours afterwards. genuinely such a beautiful, heart-wrenching insight on trauma and how it can affect people years and years later. it made me feel empty, yet so seen and understood. it does a good job at being respectful while still being brutally honest. it’s a hard watch at times, but would definitely recommend.
easily one the most overlooked and powerful flicks of the 00s, BIRTH is mystical, haunting and all around hard to Digest, but difficult has never looked so beautiful. Kidmans best performance too. Currently part of THREE by Jonathan Glazier on Criterion.
I‘m wondering why we stopped having blogs and writing essays? I want to hear people’s thoughts. I want to share my thoughts! and I don’t want to see these thoughts in a few sentences on twitter or a short Instagram post. I need a 1000+ word essay with images, links, references, book recs, and everything else. I wanna know what’s going on inside your brain.
I need to share this list I made because it is such a blessing to me that I can just open youtube or vimeo and watch these lovely little movies. there’s a range of them like bergman, tarkovsky, polish films, art-house, weird matthew gray gubler short, experimental horror, short films from the 20’s. how fun.
