Sometimes you shit your pants as an adult and that’s ok ❤️
Bring back Jack Black prestige actor in prestige comedy of errors asap!!
Not to get all AO Scott up in here but this is a good quote!
“ The realism of ‘Margot at the Wedding’ — the texture of unpredictable, lived experience that keeps both farce and melodrama in check — lies in its sense of sprawl and untidiness, in the feeling that the movie itself is snipped from an endless tangle of bad feelings and good intentions. “
remembering a story my dad told me when he was in college in the 70s, he was in a film class, and while watching an older movie the class cheered when they saw the super cheap gas prices. that is how i felt when i saw the .75 coffee and the 1.25 danish on the cart menu
Needed an antidote to Life is Sweet. People compare Bujalski and Leigh, it's unfair. Both narrative styles might amble and ramble, but Bujalski successfully implements a light touch within a staid, empathic portrait of his goofy characters. The fake-documentary rhythms and structure are all in service to the (mostly) non actors' serene vulnerability. The movie never allows them to fall into full-caricature. This is the humanism I always want when I watch a Leigh movie, but can never get. Is my deeply embarrassing anglophilia finally waning? Maybe (hopefully).
Waiting on Buj to release a full on romantic comedy. :)
