down with bureaucracy! humanity restored! love is the way :) extremely droll; my body softly tensed and relaxed throughout the entire watch. a very spot-on portrayal and message about the working class, bodies, labor, etc that felt very specific to Europe. Simone Weil is fist-pumping from another realmÂ
i adored the soundtrack and dug the Finnish band cameo. at times i thought it reminded me of a less exuberant version of Another Round. obviously i can't go on without mentioning this film is a great campaign for showcasing that men 50+ are fine as hell... i'm specifically talking about the extras but like the main can obviously get it too. handsome without the self-awareness or care of being handsome but complete with the quiet, petulant self-destruction...mmmmm
i do rate a quiet film...not a silent film just a quiet one

I seldom cry at movies. I never cry in public at movies. But Aftersun had me crying on a full plane of strangers for multiple hours. it’s almost been a week since I’ve seen it and I have thought about it everyday. It’s an extremely quiet film with an incredible way of having a profound impact. The movie is about a trip that a father and daughter make and the daughter is looking back on it years later. It has various topics like father/daughter dynamics, mental health, coming of age, but what I found the most intriguing part was the take on quite masculinity. Most films I have seen that explore the topic of masculinity are in the realm of toxicity or very abrasive and aggressive forms. This movie depicted the type of masculinity I see in my life with my male family and friends and it was heartbreaking but also beautiful. I can’t recommend it enough. It changed how I view people in my life and also myself. It inspired me to open up conversations with my father. And if you don’t have a father, I recommend it as well.

black queer history is FULL of forgotten legends who have shaped mainstream culture and continue to have a lasting impact on fashion, language, art & performance. 
Paris Is Burning immortalises and preserves the legacy and the stories of the people featured in this film along with the spaces, community and families they created for themselves in a society that consistently marginalised and discriminated against them.
this is an essential watch!!!
