in the midst of my watch through of mint (which is fucking brilliant) i’ve had charlotte regan on my mind so revisiting this felt like a no brainer. such a wonderful piece of cinema that felt even more emotionally resonant despite me knowing the punches it would pull. so fun and full of life and handles its melancholy with colour and laughter without shying away from the sadness. so damn good

Surviving Earth
Liked Watched

what an incredible emotional gut punch of a film. such a restrained and incredibly composed debut feature that feels like it came from a director who has done 10 features, not 1. thea gajic is a worldbuilder!! incredible performances (slavko and olive wow!!), gorgeous cinematography (olan man!!) and an ending frame that has not left my mind for a week now- this is such a stunner of a film and everyone needs to see it. 

also big up my bristol legend pals who worked on it. daisy and ben holding the camera dept down of courseeee

minor spoiler-y bits here, sorry:

dìdi has been heavy on my radar for so long. festival buzz like crazy, coming of age film, stellar cast (joan chen is phenomenal, like jesus christ, shirley chen is going to be a HUGE star, and i’ve known it ever since i watched krista, izaac wang crushed it… so unbelievably good), i’ve enjoyed sean wang’s shorts and like, this just has ‘jojo film’ written all over it - but it’s none of these things…

next time is next time, now is now

there are a few things i'm becoming certain of, the older i grow:
1. the internet, for the most part, is doing more harm than good.
2. we need third spaces in our lives more than we think. crucial even.
3. we should all try and learn each other's names. the people at your local tesco, the bartender at that one place you go to every now and then but never really…
