Three Movies You Should See, Marion Cotillard Bday Edition

Image
... 1.) Love Me If You Dare  (2003) - this movie is French and ridiculous. like you really need to suspend disbelief to see this movie and enjoy it. but if you liked more Americanized French movies such as Amelie, this will just be a natural progression for you. Marion Cotillard met her longtime partner ,   Guillaume Canet on the set of this film. Believable couple with good chemistry- it's whimsical, hilarious and heartbreaking. It's also very French. Happy birthday, Marion! Days I do not miss.  2.) The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012)- I will forego the urge to leave a review of this film but WOW it was sublime. I mean- instant classic material. The book was captured to a T. the whole cast is brilliant and it captures adolescence so sincerely and naturally. My friend Jeremy (and occasional writer) left an awesome review of this film here . HE DOES NOT LIE. My favorite scene by far was the dance to "Come on Eileen." Hands down this has my vote fo...

Submarine

Alright, I think I'll be giving this movie a shitty review if I officially reviewed it, so a public service announcement: SEE THIS MOVIE. If it's playing in your area. Submarine is a little British indie film directed by one of my favorite (favourite?) people of all time, Richard Ayoade, a half-Nigerian, half-Norwegian comedian and blipster, most famous for playing hilarious characters on The IT Crowd and The Mighty Boosh . He's also directed videos for Vampire Weekend, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Arctic Monkeys. Speaking of Arctic Monkeys, their lead singer, Alex Turner, contributed songs to the soundtrack for this film. The film is set in 1986, but Turner's modern indie vocals fall in place perfectly throughout its vintage, twee Welsh setting. Ayoade's been called the next Wes Anderson. It's also his birthday today (well yesterday, since I'm posting this so late and it's almost midnight on the west coast)! Do yourself a favor and watch SUBMARINE.

movies you should see: hiroshima mon amour

Hiroshima, Mon Amour this movie has been on my mind a lot lately, due to the recent events in Japan. when I saw it about a year ago, it easily made an impression on me. easily. it was just so beautiful, in every way thinkable. it follows the story of a French actress and her Japanese architect lover, having a conversation together as they lie in bed. the majority of the film is told in flashbacks of their lives in WWII (the film was made in 1959, so there's a ten year gap there). he was directly affected by the dropping of the atom bomb in Hiroshima; she was ostracized due to her involvement with a German soldier. the reason I was propelled to see it was the song "Burning Hearts" by My Favorite- "I was an architect, she was an actress, I drew the Eiffel Tower upon her dress." (really good song too, by the way! RIP My Favorite). luckily, you can find the movie online. here's a portion of it: I HOPE YOU LIKE READING FILMS it's given credit (so I am led to ...
