moved me in a quiet yet beautiful way. right now i can only speak to the emotional effects i felt, but i will definitely be reading more into this to better appreciate the commentary and the more intellectual elements.
i really appreciated kiarostami's empathetic and humanistic approach to the story and characters. love those moments where the camera wanders, almost randomly, or hovers on something inconsequential.
i felt such a sense of kinship with sabzian; his deep love for art…
i never got to see portrait of a lady on fire on the big screen, and seeing petite maman at siskel really showed me what i’d missed. each frame is truly a work of art; the colors are just so full and harmonious. sciamma’s control is just so apparent, and a welcome and interesting contrast to lou ye’s wonderful saturday fiction, which i watched just a few days ago in the same theatre.
i love sciamma’s worlds in isolation. they’re crafted so meticulously,…
Sometimes a "no" means "maybe", I'll grant you that. But when it comes from God, a "no" means "no".
