blackjam plague

imagine playing a game of chess against death in order to stall the end of your life on earth during the bubonic plague while you attempt to figure out if there is a GOD right after you fought in a crusade. worth a watch, i promise.

i love you, ingmar.

i am partially in love

trailers can sometimes tell the story better than the movie itself. in I AM LOVE (io sono l'amore), director luca guadagnino gets lost in beautiful cinematography instead of remembering his self-helmed story.

reasons to watch: tilda swinton's performance, a riveting original score, retro titles, arthouse film sequences, cinematic beauty. reasons not to: random turn of events in the final act, boredom due to lack of direction.

the video below holds all the keys to understanding the movie, many of which you forget because it's just so long. but honestly, this trailer packs the punch.

andy's magic time machine

andy warhol kept time in boxes. i like the word ephemera. andy liked boring things.

i was thinking about andy's boxes, my hands in my pockets. the sun had set and it was cold and all i had was one tube of lip balm, a movie ticket stub, and a receipt for tacos.
