Since Cannes festival I’m on fire just as the Lady in the portrait. Can’t wait!
About that Slate piece, I think that needs to be a “Friday Open Thread” or the subject of Riese’s next poll because I was wondering the same thing after watching that movie.
Well, this one time someone started eating my ass while we were taking a dimly-lit bath and I wasn’t sure if she knew she was in ass territory, because, ya know, that doesn’t seem like the first place one would go to on a trip down south? Anyway I just rolled with it and it felt nice.
That Billy Porter and Rachel Brosnahan interview is very relevant.
I’m here to highly recommend as much as possible without literally strong-arming everyone into cinemas when the time comes, to see Portrait of a Lady on Fire when it comes out. I saw it a week ago and am still thinking about it; it’s quiet, heartbreaking, stunningly beautiful, very deep, multiple layers of meta, period yet very modern. I know we all loved Carol and the Favourite but this film has leaped above them to the top of my personal ranking list. cannot possibly rave enough.
