CLOSER (2004)

I am very struck by this film. I think the performances are stellar. Unflinching, mean, and cruel at times. Also, messy and cliche, but I love it. There is something to be said about this poster, too. I totally see why others might not feel the same, though. Definitely of its time. Even so, wow. This is my Mike Nichols' pick, tbh.

A real pain

I knew I was going to love this movie just because of the concept and the fact that it’s Kieran culkin and Jesse eisenberg but right now it’s the morning after I saw it and I’m sitting in bed crying thinking about certain things different characters but especially David, Jesse eisenbergs character said I’ll tear up at a movie every once in a while but this movie really hit me because it is so relevant to how im feeling recently like literally every element of David and Benjis (Kieran culkin) emotional characteristics and their relationship with each other is relevant My aunt passed away in September and I have been weirdly impacted by it since then and I have been working on controlling anxiety and depression for four years now with minimal progress and those two things, (David’s OCD and anxiety/Benji’s grief) are essentially what lead David and Benji to take this trip together so as we learn more and more about their relationship with each other and their personalities themselves it kept getting more and more personal to an almost unbelievable degree Theres a point where something happens and David sort of opens up and what he says about not actually being okay but just presenting that he’s okay because he takes his medication and runs and meditates and goes to work then comes home then does it all again that really really hit me It is such a perfect blend of funny but also deeply serious and emotional so even if it’s not as relevant to you right now I think everyone should see this movie

[FILMGRAB]

A website with a collection of screengrabs from nearly every movie you could think of, and you can sort by film title, director, cinematographer, year, genre, country, etc. Great for visual references for lookbooks, or just to discover a new film you might be interested in seeing! I've attached one of my favorite stills, a great moment from Chungking Express (Dir. Wong Kar-Wai, 1994).

Second hand Physical media

Just going out and picking up any kind of used physical media (books, CDs, DVDs, cassette tapes) makes the archivist in me happy, like I’m preserving somebody else’s story/ enjoyment of something My personal favorite thing is VHS tapes, I’ve got a decent collection (all thrifted) and they’re usually the cheapest things offered
