Me trying to introduce the critically acclaimed movie adaptation of a R.K.Narayan, Guide, to an unfamiliar viewer :

So, you know that Human League song, Don't You Want Me Baby

I love it when shows try something clever & do it subtly.

Last year, I saw two shows that did gender role reversal. Subtly. You can enjoy the entire show, unaware of this. And yet, the impact can be felt in the enjoyment. Subtle, core-level intervention.

Scenes from a marriage / Wedding season

I love when a film's influences are so seamless that they don't stand out during the watching of it, but only after the experience.

Something to discover when you contemplate

Aftersun / Beau travail
Don't worry darling / Alex Prager's art (esp the era + female emotion combo)

Phantom Thread really does have some beautiful cinema scenes, look at these frames.

This was the movie where I could go, okay I get PTA now.
