  Before Sunset 2004

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 18 Mar 2025

  im somewhat lovelorn lip synching love songs but that's irrelevant.

  hawke looks at deply like every man should look at the woman they're in love with. smitten, restless, and READY to throw his fake, unsatisfactory life away for what we all want but forget about when aging into a cynical realism.

  linklater is going to heaven for making this trilogy. on god.

  Hold Me Tight 2021

  Watched 11 Sep 2022

  this really fucked me up. the structure reflects how convoluted grief can be, how the imagination fuels our coping mechanisms.

  heard someone say to their friend as they were walking out that the plot was "incredibly complicated" and, like, sure. yeah. but also, it's not? it demands attention and alertness (like anything worth watching) and asks us to pay attention to how grief undermines and influences perception.

  this worked for me on many levels but i have been a lover of sex and death and moustachioed obsessives for many years.
