    ★★★★★

    Martha and Ingrid: one celebrates life in the fear of death and the other recognizes the inevitable of death, but both are permeated by an irrefutable lucidity about life and time. Although it may seem pedantic of me, I just wanted to highlight how much I learn from Almodóvar's cinema - and my writing, although deficient and limited, reflects the way I was affected by his generosity and love of cinema and life.

    "you do not belong to humanity".

    Faced with the inevitable desacralization of contemporary life and imagination, it is urgent to turn to Eggers' comprehensive and obsessive poetics of words, images and sounds (the bestial scream).

    "it's funny because our middle age is comfortable and sexy for me."
    The film is beautifully simple, very close and revealing of my own impasses.
