What am I celebrating this week?
Actually managing to get some work done on the book even while going to a lot of films. Although I have a feeling this weekend is not going to be productive at all in that area because I have two films to see each day and I still need to clean the house and cook and all those other things...
But first, a little recap of the films I've seen since Monday.
Non-Fiction: a French film about a bunch of people working in the publishing industry having affairs with each other. This was very French, but not actually all that interesting.
Vivarium: An Irish film that was part satire about the housing crisis and some of the failed solutions Ireland tried, and part nature documentary. I know it sounds weird, and the film is weird. But it's also really good. Really clever use of sound to keep the atmosphere just that little bit off.
In Fabric: Another peculiar film, this time about a haunted dress and the very odd department store that sells it. I guess this was kind of a horror, but it was also very funny as well as being rather unsettling. Kind of like The Red Shoes, but with a dress....
Mid90s: Jonah Hill's first film as writer-director is set in the mid-90s and follows a group of teenage skateboarders as they create their own messy little family to make up for their own families who failed them. I enjoyed this one, particularly the soundtrack.
I'll catch you up on Monday on the weekend's offerings.

"Very French, but not actually all that interesting" may be the best description I've ever read.
