When Orpheus says that his songs would die with him, that they were for this time, right now in the moment, and not for the future, I find it eerily similar to when Tilda Swinton mentions (or Derek Jarman himself says, I can’t remember) in the doc Derek that Jarman wanted his work gone when he died. Just so many coincidences there in my eyes.
But onto the movie…this being filmed in the middle of the 80s, as the AIDS crisis…

Sincerely Charlotte 1985
So dull and meandering, never finding what tone it wants to settle on. Isabelle Huppert looks great but overall is just…fine I suppose. But with supporting characters so thin and some poorly acted, what’s the point?

Afternoon Breezes 1980
natsuko, a rather quiet, reserved girl harboring a crush that borderlines (and eventually crosses that line of) obsession on her straight girl roommate. the very thought of boys is sickening to her. she’s only got mitsu on her mind, and she’ll try anything to get her, even after she kicks her out. love is all-consuming, it makes you act in ways no normal person would. add on the top of having to hide your true self, and it’s painful.

The Cat Has Nine Lives 1968
what an interesting little french new wave-inspired film! the shots are so beautiful and the loose structure had me confused at times, but its a fun time nevertheless! sucks that i missed out seeing this in my “images of women in film” class last semester because i would have loved to hear my professor (who is also the director) talk about it!
