Underrated film about love in the end times. Beautifully shot. Somehow manages to be wildly goofy while also being quite devastating.
Suspenseful and charming with hints of slight meta-commentary, this is worth a watch for so many reasons if I were to list them I would write an essay.
I won't say any more because I feel to best experience this movie, you should go in with minimal context as I did but if this recommendation piqued your interest at all, I would say give it a shot.

There's tons of movies that I think are a must-see (Tampopo, Roman Holiday, Moonlight, Amelie etc.) and trying to recommend any made me realise how much I love watching films... but I'd start with this one. It's about Living, with a capital T, and it's got plot, beautiful scenery etc. I also think it's a straightforward way to see what films do versus documentaries or other visual media.
I first saw it as a bored volunteer at a film festival, killing time between two other movies I really wanted to see instead hahaha go in with zero expectations.

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 itโs wintertime, but hope you enjoy whenever you decide to watch!!

Heartbreaking but brings me so much comfort. Relationships are fucking complicated. The relatability of it all and the visuals too. I know itโs kind of a cult classic at this point but I still wonโt spoil too much for those who havenโt seen it :P

When I draw or paint something and I don't feel 100% happy with the end product, sometimes I like to use it in a collage or do a collage around it.
It turns art I'm disappointed in into something I like looking at. It keeps me from getting disheartened and helps creative juices flow.
I think the collaging aspect is especially useful because it less technical and you can be pretty abstract with composition.
It's a lot of fun and I think everyone should try it!! Here's a picture of one I did today. My drawing came out at a little flat and lacking dimension. I turned it into a collage and I feel like my original vision started to show. I started creating a story for this character I made through the collage.
If you like to do this or want to try it, show me ur collages โค๏ธ would love to see what other people come up with.
