    on the surface, this shouldn't work for me. the story of 2 gross teenagers coming of age trying to fuck this older woman. and yet I'm rendered a complete mess by the end.

    these characters meeting in the middle, Luisa at the end of her life and Julio and Tenoch at the beginning (of adulthood). the juxtaposition of life being exciting, fun, and beautiful but at the same time so fucking brutal and unforgiving. we get a glimpse of their…

    my first spaghetti western! was so pleasantly surprised by how funny this is. Eli Wallach was phenomenal, imagine my gag when I found out he's the old man from The Holiday (2006)

    Stop Making Sense

    the amount of whimsy, fun, play, and love on stage is just magical and is taken to the next level under jonathan demme's eye. I absolutely loved every second of this. cried during This Must be the Place, of course.
