For my money (not a lot tbh) she's one of the best filmmakers working today. Her movies are lyrical but never sentimental, morally serious but never self-righteous. She is especially interested in themes about the body, desire, colonialism. My favourites are Beau Travail, Trouble Every Day, and White Material.
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.
i like to read a book that is completely about one animal or one type of organism. i read a book about eels a while ago, and i think i forgot about eels for a while but they exist! they are real. anyone knows a book like that?
great great great book of essays about eh many things but basically about noticing and being present, and feeling wonder and excitement about the world around you. i dont really know how to explain it but i love it
