I had this movie recommended to me by a teacher in high school (shoutout Mr. Hicks!) and I bought the criterion physical copy. I absolutely loved it! It is one of my favorite movies to recommend to people wanting to dive into French cinema.

Speaking of movies, if I could make a non horror recommendation La Piscine is on Criterion right now and it's great. It's essentially about a murder in the French countryside, but it's shot gorgeously and everyone is dressed in amazing clothes. I can't usually make it through movies with subtitles (I'm dyslexic, don't come for me), but this one is an easy watch and despite all the tension and drama there's very little dialogue.

Recently rewatched this movie and fell in love with it all over again. It's a slow paced movie by the director Chantal Akerman that. The movie follows Michèle, the protagonist, through her day and like the title says, paints a picture of a young girl at the end of the 60s in Brussels.
I guess my takeaway from the movie is that love can present itself in different forms and there are no right or wrong ways in going about that and exploring the different ways to love. This movie leaves me with a deep love for life, even though I'm not quite sure wether that's what the film is trying to provoke or if it's just because every time I hear the song Suzanne by Leonard Cohen I'm high on it for days, which kind of leads me to my last remark: The use of music in this movie is absolutely fantastic and feels like a delicately placed punch in the stomach.
It's on youtube for free (see the link) and only an hour long!
P.S.: This is my first post, I don't even know if this is the right way to use this website???

My friend Liam got sent these by accident when he ordered vans and gave them to me since they sent him size 13. These shoes are goofy and I don't know who would buy them but I wear them all the time because I think they're really fun and have a lot of character.

Imagine just being able to vibe in the sun in the morning and then vibe underwater for the rest of it.
