the magic of cannes
on my last night in town i take a spur-of-the-moment decision to try the last minute line for the 10 pm premiere at the lumiere
and just like that, after a week of cinematic mediocrity, i have found my personal winner
the visual poetry is sublime and so is the music, the cinematography, the editing
it’s the most tender film i have seen in years
it looks gorgeous without sacrificing even an ounce of authenticity
what can i say? payal kapadia’s artistry is unmatched

The Light Between Oceans 2016
i love a slow, windswept period melodrama as much as the next girl but my heart truly goes out to all the australian actresses who had to watch an actual swede get cast as "local girl isabel"

finally a film that was made with actual
love and care!
a mindfuck of a psychological drama but also a thoroughly authentic perspective on quirky girlhoodTranslated from by -

well that the most half arsed standing ovation in my entire cannes experience
not sure why because what’s not to like about all those cheesy references and parody bits?
this was basically the fellowship of the ring on acid with badges, lanyards and goodie bags
cate blanchett does some epic face acting
also, i’m willing to forgive the lazy stereotypes and the few jokes that didn’t land because when that ethereal enya-style song stared playing i absolutely lost it
