Positive I.D. 1986

★★★★★ Watched by Sarah 27 Nov 2021

There's a recipe for chicken played on a tape that particularly strikes me here. It narrates the preparation, the rubbing of spices, as a sensual act, one where by the end, the cook is "practically engaged to the chicken". It is this forced engagement by contact that alienates Julie a year after, that she is constantly marked not only for the violent assault, but for the televised trial afterwards.

★★★★ Watched by Sarah 16 Jun 2022 2

A[r/u]tistic indie comedy is a hit or miss (Mirsnda July? Fantastic two times obnoxious once. Lena Dunham? Cannot stomach) and yet Polly is so pinpointed relatable any cheap-out 80s craft and secondhand embarrassment is all but forgiven.

As someone who memorized The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock in high school, movies make me smile!

Either "clean girl" is a euphemism or this wasn't written by humans
