Dans Paris
This is just a sweet yet brooding movie about two brothers but I love it so much because Louis Garrel is in it and the French really makes beautiful films! I cannot say much without being biased (thus condemning my own country for its ?!?!?! movies) so I hope everyone tries to get a copy of this film.
The French filmmaker Christophe Honoré was born in 1970, almost two years to the...
Les Chansons d'Amour
Oh the start of my perennial love affair with Louis Garrel!
The Paris of Christophe Honoré’s “Love Songs” (“Les Chansons d’Amour”) belongs unmistakably to the present. Its residents talk on cellphones and drop the name of Nicolas Sarkozy (still an aspirant to the Élysée Palace rather than an occupant when the movie was being shot). But they also dwell, just as noticeably, in the Paris of...
A Girl Cut In Two
She looks like Blake Lively, that’s the first thing that I noticed. But it was easily washed away by the intensity of the movie. Why I like psychologically unstabled men, I don’t know. But I found myself wanting to rip the screen off and hug Paul Gaudens, a charater played by Benoit Magimel. Just an intense movie that I loved from start to finish. Everyone will, too. Make sure to...
The Last Mistress
The first time I laid my eyes on Fu’ad Aït Aattou, I think I fell in love. With beauty. He’s just a really, really beautiful man with looks more interesting than Brad Pitt’s. I loved the way his whole demeanor showed mystique—it fits the personality he portrays in this movie. Catherine Breillat directs films about women who fight the tides instead of going with it. I love...
Vicky Cristina Barcelona
Vicky Cristina Barcelona is a film by Woody Allen. Set in Spain, it chronicles the journey of two female friends on vacation. There, they run into the El Cuerpos of all El Cuerpos: Javier Bardem who is the epitome of a spontaneous, romantic artist. He then takes them to see the sights of beautiful Espana, from Toledo to Seville to Catalan. I love this movie because I am studying the Spanish...
“I know God won’t give me anything I cannot handle.
I just wish He...”
– Good job, God! ;)
“Who is your favorite artist?
My parents, because I’m a masterpiece!”
– During art class, I couldn’t think of any artist.
“I only drink on two occassions:
when I’m THIRSTY and when I’m NOT”
– I found this on my friend Ia Hernandez’ planner :)
