The most sexually repressed female character in a movie i’ve ever seen. A close second to this would be Lars Von Trier’s “Nymphomaniac Vol. 1 & Vol. 2”.

Very surreal viewing experience with myself and one dude being the only solitary perverts in our small theater packed to the gills with people—couples, pairs of women, and a front row of college aged girls having a ladies’ night. They were talking so loudly that people had to yell at them to shut up. (After the movie I heard one of them say “I think it was straight middle aged freaky not actually freaky. She’s a straight middle aged woman in power who wants to be dominated by the man and that’s the only thing. And she was a terrible person the entire time!”)
I was blushing furiously the whole time and shrinking into my seat and my jaw definitely dropped multiple times. Very cerebral and psychosexually loaded movie that deals primarily in restraint to explore control vs vulnerability…

One of the greatest films ever made, and probably the sexiest. The thing that makes it so good, and I think so sexy, is that both the characters are shy weirdo losers. That’s why they’re brilliant and sexy and likeable. You make Mr Grey not a shy weirdo and suddenly he’s gross and creepy and not at all sexy (looking at you 50 shades).

Céline Sciamma’s queer feminist period drama about two wammin passing the Bechdel test in the Age of Patriarchy gets a thumbs up from me. I watched this movie on the plane and it’s common knowledge that flying makes you emotional/horny, which might explain why it left such a lasting impression.This film has everything you could possibly want: lesbians, nudity, costumes, art history references, vision — all while maintaining an uncharacteristic degree of restraint and not going too hard on the political statements. The casual absence of men for the most part is a nice touch. I’d even go so far as to say that it’s up there in my hall of fame, along with Harold Pinter and Joseph Losey’s The Go-Between, Peter Greenaway’s The Draughtsman’s Contract and Alain Corneau’s All the Mornings of the World. The only thing that would’ve made it better in my opinion is if they delivered on all the threats of self-immolation in the end, but endings are something that filmmakers historically seem to struggle with, so next.

At the height of my angst and a time where I wanted to escape via music so badly lol. This record did just that for me and listened to it through and through. I have “The O.C.” to thank for introducing me to Modest Mouse.
