Éric Rohmer is probably one of my favourite directors of all time. I have seen all six of his Moral Tales, all four of his Four Seasons, and quite a few of his Comedies and Proverbs (of which The Green Ray is the fifth). This was the movie I started university with as I was reminded of this film after visiting Biarritz and St-Jean-de-Luz. Personally, I felt a rewarch of Delphine’s beautiful and atmospheric solo explorations throughout France was perfect as I had just moved away from home for the first time!

It’s one of my favourite Rohmer films 😊 also agnes varda is great in general because I think french new wave is such a hyper masculine genre so her films are always such a standout. I recommend Vagabond if you have never seen it

I started a Rohmer binge earlier this summer when I was feeling cramped up, horny, and very far from Cannes. Little did I know all I needed was to hit play on a few of these flicks on Criterion, and all of my needs could be fulfilled. Rohmer’s stories follow the most lovestruck, well-vacationed characters as they wash down kisses with martinis and fill their afternoons with silly games of phonetag and delectable meals. I love love <3

one of the greatest directors of all time. no one captured the beauties and complexities of life and love, created intimacy with words and conversations and complex and authentic characters quite like he did. and no one captured the look and feeling of summer like he did.
go watch some of his films, you won’t regret it :)

Listen I’m Colombian so of course I read a few of Gabo’s (Gabriel Garcia Marquez for those who are unaware) oeuvre, as he is a national treasure. As much I adore Love in the Time of Cholera, I feel Strange Pilgrims (or Doce Cuentos Peregrinos) is just as amazing. It is a collection of short stories of various Latin Americans residing in Europe and my personal favourite is Sleeping Beauty and the Airplane as it perfectly encapsulates the trip between CDG and JFK. For the anglophones, both of these books were also translated by Edith Grossman who also translated the copy of Don Quixote we read at my secondary school and I feel the translator means just as much as the author and she was an incredible one in what I’ve read that she’s done.

This has merged my love of making collages with my super niche years-curated selection of Pinterest files into one single app and I am not complaining at all!!

My go-to cocktail used to be a vodka limone until it was easily replaced with the pornstar martini the moment I touched down in London. Considering that its birthplace was full of them, I throughly enjoyed my bar nights with friends and this passion fruit—vodka (with its accompanying shot of Prosecco always) combo. And wherever I can find it, I will have it as my drink of choice.
