La Chimera has amazing cinematography, great lighting, etc. Itās done everything right. Something about the washed out color palette is so pleasing. The part I like the most is the depiction of an Italy thats not perfect like Tuscany or Lake Como. Itās so real and beautiful despite being more industrial and less glam than what youād expect.
Il Gattopardo (1963ā I differentiate because Netflix is releasing a new adaptation next month) has costumes to die for. Itās rural, itās dramatic, itās very special.

10/10 excellent treat for the eyes. please go see it if it's showing in ur area else find some other means. it's about italian grave robbers, plasticity of language, dowsing, living your silly life's dream,

Oh good god itās another perfect movie. Every single shot was so beautifully composed I couldnāt quite even keep up, I was still processing each one by the time it changed frames. I loved the character of Arthur sensitive and a little evil, complex and also just a man with a ādivining rod.ā Excellent comentary on capitalism and greed. Beautifully paced film, and just overall an absolute treasure. I need to see it sixteen moreĀ times

i am morally opposed to the idea of commodifying all your hobbies, but i love to live in my imaginary world in which i do. nothing better than a long voice note session back and forth with a friend saying āi have a new side business for us.āĀ
we love to go through everything from name, vibe, how weāll make money and who is our audience. we have no interest in how we will acquire money to start this because we know we never will. itās a fleeting moment of creativity in which you can imagine living out the unattainable dream of harmonious shared work with your best friend.
this idea is never visited again until something similar is likely created after which you and your friends can claim that you were almost definitely overheard by your fbi agent on your phone or the girl sitting next to you in the cafe. this person, of course, copied your brilliant idea and you plan to sue, another thing youāll never do but have fun imagining. friends are magic.
