My second Jean-Luc Godard after Breathless, and I liked this one a lot better! The characters were actually interesting here and the themes were much more up my alley. It's also the first time I saw Anna Karina and I really liked her. Intrigued to watch more from her now.

Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! 1989
A little less lighthearted fun than most other Pedro Almodóvar films that came before, but I liked the tackling of more serious issues. Given the subject matter it was still surprisingly funny, and the production design and color palette scream Pedro. A lot of questionable things happen here, but I enjoyed watching it.
Antonio Banderas is so disgusting and so attractive at the same time it doesn't seem humanly possible.

French cinéma unironically peaked with this movie.

Seven Winters in Tehran 2023
"How can a man understand the devastated soul of a woman after rape? How can a man understand the shocked mind and body of a woman while she is caught in the hands of an aroused man? The laws of rape and self-defense are written by men."
Absolutely devastating and heartcrushing, but so important. Also very relevant in the days of the Iranian revolution. I admire this family so much for turning their grief and anger into activism.
