Itâs a film about flanerie and death. After watching it, youâll understand why life is much more vibrant with a touch of sprezzatura. Jep, the penultimate flaneur, constantly refers to Flaubert and the concept of nothingness, which reads like an poignant analysis of our times. In the press notes, Sorrentino discusses his collaboration with screenwriter Umberto Contarello and how he views Rome as a superior kind of tourist attraction, even though he has made it his home. Rome, like New York, is a city âeternalâ in its attractions and mysteries, seductive, yet empty. My favorite piece of dialogue comes from a scene on a rooftop after a night of partying, waxing poetic about the merits of socialism, morality, and pasta al dente.âYou know, all this boastful talk, all this serious ostentatiousness, ego, ego, ego ⌠These harsh damning judgements of yours hide a certain fragility, a feeling of inadequacy, and above all, a series of untruths âŚInstead of acting superior and treating us with contempt, you should look at us with affection. Weâre all on the brink of despair, all we can do is look each other in the face, keep each other company, joke a little ⌠Donât you agree?â

Written and directed by Justine Triet. A fascinating look into how we develop relationships with each other and how far we can let those relationships seep into our own inspirations and work. Hints of Bergmanâs âPersonaâ and stand out performances from Sandra HĂźller and Adele Exarchopoulos really just serve as the cherry on top of an incredibly fun movie

A friend recommended I watch this film after I gave him an in-depth explanation of my sexual dysfunction(s). Itâs directed by Michael Haneke, known best for both the German and U.S. versions of âFunny Gamesâ, so you already know it's fun for the whole family. Iâve been obsessed with it ever since. I fear it has possessed me. If youâve seen it, you know more about me than I would willingly divulge even after years of friendship. I almost dressed as the protagonist for Halloween this year. In turn, Iâve become obsessed with Isabelle and sheâs now one of my top five favorite actresses. Her poise and courage on screen is unmatched, not to mention raw sex appeal. She really is Mother/Maman.

after having an ovarian cyst for a while and finding out 4 months later that THATS why I was feeling deranged and horrible all the time I canât get this thought (truth) out of my head â hormones are kind of everything! period cycles interest me so much now in a way they didnât before bc I can clearly see the effects of them on our psyches/energy. for example I can always tell when a friend of mine is ovulating or PMSing. now Iâm 24/7 yapping about menstruation/womenâs health to all my friends.. or anyone who will listen really. mind-body connection fr fr
OUT: thinking that asking about periods is rude; men Tiptoeing around the subject of periods; discounting what hormones do to our bodies and minds !!!!
