Movies Watched -- Ascension (2021)
In Mandarin. 97 minute running time. This movie was like an extension or update to Burtynsky’s Manufactured Landscapes, which was a great documentary. This one is more deeply disturbing and even terrifying to see what China has become in the digital age. As John Farr wrote: “the vast majority of Chinese people [are] nameless, interchangeable cogs in an immense, highly exploitative economic engine.” Super grim and troubling, filled with desperation and insecurity … bleak.
Movies Watched -- All the Beauty and the Bloodshed (2022)
120 minute running time … documentary about the artist and activist, Nan Goldin. The pharmacological opioid epidemic is complicated, I’m not sure if tearing the Sackler name out of all the museums and universities of the world is the best approach… but Goldin is a smart and gutsy woman whom you can’t help admiring. This was a John Farr reco.
Text from Conrad’s Heart of Darkness found in her sister’s purse … about as brutal as it gets:

To Chloris
Youn has a great touch… love the pacing.
Chloris was a Nymph associated with spring, flowers and new growth, believed to have dwelt in the Elysian Fields. Roman authors equated her with the goddess Flora, suggesting that the initial sound of her name may have got altered by Latin speakers (a popular etymology). Myths had it that she was abducted by (and later married) Zephyrus, the god of the west wind. She was also thought to have been responsible for the transformations of Adonis, Attis, Crocus, Hyacinthus and Narcissus into flowers.
S'il est vrai, Chloris, que tu m'aimes,
Mais j'entends, que tu m'aimes bien,
Je ne crois point que les rois mêmes
Aient un bonheur pareil au mien.
Que la mort serait importune
De venir changer ma fortune
A la félicité des cieux!
Tout ce qu'on dit de l'ambroisie
Ne touche point ma fantaisie
Au prix des grâces de tes yeux.

Movies Watched -- Paper Moon (1973)
102 minute running time… Peter Bogdanovich movie … I don’t like movies with kids in them… this probably wasn’t that terrible, but I didn’t make it very far in before going to fast forward. John Farr found it hilarious, but I beg to differ.
She don’t believe in puttin’ out fer free.
Movies Watched -- The Teachers' Lounge (2023)
In German. 98 minute running time, so the perfect length. I wasn’t super thrilled with this. It’s a political picture. Germany is really grappling with being a multi-cultural society now. And things are getting more litigious. One thing you can say for sure is that the German public school system is NOT underfunded.
Makes sense that the director is a Turk who was born and raised in Berlin. Leonie Benesch, the star of this movie, played Eva in The White Ribbon, which is a great movie. The Teachers’ Lounge was a John Farr reco, but I do not second it…
