The Adjuster 1991
here's a stream of consciousness from my notes app lol:
desire
transgressive desire
real estate - property - home
family
family as background - fake - home is decoration
home destroyed
bureaucratic commoditization of the home and its possessions
replacement of things with capital
direction of desire ie (self)censorship
the destruction that occurs when repression is breeched
conversely, the consistent need to construct (american, nuclear) domestic conventions even when you are “allowed” to transgress (maybe by virtue of excess capital)… -
Mamma Roma 1962
moving, exquisitely composed; exists at the exact junction of architecture, modernity, tightly controlled realism, and incredible actress with hypnotic faces that just checks all my boxes
giuliana bruno on the film: "a place where archaeological ruins coexist uncannily with the architecture of urban decay"i wish i could attach images to reviews so bad rn- i took so many screenshots
