I’m a sucker for anything art deco, especially exploring Rockefeller Center with it’s easter eggs and grand as hell murals, but the Chanin building at 122 E 42nd st is beautiful for its detail. Especially the bronze friezes of fish and coral. I like creatures in the concrete and steel.
The holdovers (2023) absolutely embodies everything a good film should. From the simple and beautiful cinematography to the remarkably fitting soundtrack, the story is served on a silver platter that is reminiscent of a time gone by. This film will make you think “I guess the really do make movies like that still” The performances from our leads and subsequent performers are impeccable and touching. Oh and the writing, so human and real, it touches on the very core of us as people and our needs and wants and desires.
