surreal, haunting, visually stunning. slow but if you give it the chance really compelling. makes good use of the drama of film and especially black and white cinematography(to me, makes it a must see). plus with costumes designed by coco herself !!

watched this recently and loved loved loved- has romance, comedy, serious bits, depressing bits, heartfeltness and all wrapped up in this surreal pseudo sci fi conceit. the soundtrack is also amazing! it has that cozy yet bleak yet hopeful quality that a lot of early 2000s movies have. could also be a good one to watch once it’s wintertime, but hope you enjoy whenever you decide to watch!!

painfully beautiful film. good god. go see this immediately!!! it will make you feel good. instant favorite. i can't get over the final scene - nothing new but beautifully done. beautiful is the only word i can think of.
also has a very lovely (albeit small) soundtrack. reminded me of people i once loved. made the experience all the more bittersweet

figuring out the small things i can do that i know will make me feel at least 5% better has been so helpful to build momentum throughout my day.
some of mine:
groggy -> coffee, go outside and walk around, or a mini nap
lethargic/irritable -> taking a shower and deep breaths, opening a window
sad -> get sunlight, stand outside for ten minutes, hug my cat
anxious/unable to focus -> writing a brain dump of everything that’s on mind or cbt journaling
unable to sleep -> reading a book
bored -> create/output something (input(watching/listening to/reading something, scrolling on my phone) vs output(making something, writing my thoughts on something i watched, trying something new))
bloated -> ginger tea, activating pressure points, yoga
uninspired -> revisiting something formative, figuring out the unexplored territories in my taste and going into them, looking through my collection of art books

i found a box of my parent’s photos from when they first started dating to their wedding and around when i was born and made me realize:
1. there is so much more life to live!! and i hope i can look back on my 20’s with the same fondness they do
2. how nice it is to have physical photos - i never go through my camera roll but i love revisiting old journals or scrapbooks and i think printing photos would have the same effect. i find that the phone camera effect almost makes taking pictures feel more disposable or practical rather than artistic (for me personally, ik a lot of people who have really nice camera rolls on their phones) so maybe getting a camera or just thinking about memory capture differently would aim me in this direction
