Day In My Life As A Widowed Housewife
finally saw this on the big screen !!! i did, feel very sleepy and struggle to stay awake in parts ((lack of dialogue + 3.5 hours long))
knew it was all going downhill when she overboiled those potatoes
going to the cinema is all about a very loud gasp from the audience at the plot twist !
!!!! it is incredible that this was made contemporaneously with the wages for housework movement !!!!!
i am ashamed of being young
i am ashamed of being stupid
the characters are stilted and uncanny in their speech and movement - everyone is kind of like a ventriloquist puppet ! there’s also like this flatness to the set and lots of dramatic harsh lighting?? it’s very theatrical or even pantomine-y throughout
in terms of its post-fordian/proto-feminist thought, it felt a bit like in junior cert geography when you learn that the higher education rates are for women…
