I started with Breathless (1960). Was it supposed to be so funny? I laughed more than I probably should've considering the beginning and the end. C'est la vie.

ive already reccommended it on here but i re watched it last weekend with some friends(their first time watching it) and its just so damn funny. Im not sure if it is the best intro to french new wave but it is definitely fun and entertaining

not sure if it can well and truly be called a french new wave film for a lot of reasons (not quite french, not released in precisely the right time period, etc.) but i think a good entry point to the kind of surrealist, vibes-oriented as opposed to narrative-oriented filmmaking that "foreign films" (especially European) tend to evoke / get clowned for in American media
it's funny, it's bizarre, it has something to say but you might need a couple watches to get it (at least i did)

Jean Seberg is the original cool girl! Plus, Jean-Paul Belmondo! Pretty much put the French New Wave on the map. I also love Days of Heaven (1978) though Brooke Adams and Linda Manz are more doomed than anything else. But it’s aching beautiful and will haunt you in the best way. Oh, and make you want to watch all of Terrence Malick’s movies, especially Badlands (with Sissy Spacek as another amazing cool, doomed girl!) Happy watching 🤍🩶🖤

Was tired of being a consumer so I joined a painting group on Mondays. don’t know how it’ll go and what I’ll do. But I’m willing to take the journey. Should I share my paintings on here?

I have been trying to work with acrylic guache. it’s a weird type of paint that feels like watercolour, but dries super fast? Don’t love it — but we create regardless

Someone put me on to Amyl and the Sniffers yesterday and their album has been on repeat ever since. it’s very punky and the feminist lyrics are a vibe. 💃🏾
