“i used to think about your life in new york. i tried to imagine your room. i kept track of the time difference... so i knew when you were awake and when you were asleep”
a tender star-crossed daydream. the three main character dynamics are special enough on their own, but the romance that blooms at the center is cathartically intimate and even magical: a reunion that feels so inevitable. catching glimpses of a past life, details we aren’t privy to. all the stolen kisses and whispers and promises. a bond so strong that they fall back in sync with each other like second nature, even if they try to fight against it. even if it won’t work. and yet they choose each other, even if for a few minutes
when Rachel Weisz is smoking in the hotel room and says "I want to take your picture" after that super lovely sex scene and Rachel McAdams finally looks comfortable in herself THAT IS SO PURE
"You are free."
My mother had her worries about my attending a Catholic university, and it's only recently that I've come to understand why that was. I always had Jewish friends growing up, or at least other Jews around me. In college, none of my friends even had a real understanding of what Hanukkah was. This huge thing I was raised with, that meant so much to me, had absolutely no value to the people I was spending every day with. It's taken me a while to realize, but I really lost a greater sense of community then, and that seemingly minor shift affected me deeply.
I can only imagine what it's like to grow up in an Orthodox community…
so not only are they Jewish but they’re ultra ORTHODOX and theyre LESBIANS. do two “negatives” cancel out in this regard cause I can feel the controversy mixing in the synagogue all the way from America.
how did Sebastián get not one but two wildly popular Rachel’s to be in this film.
who determined that filmmakers will give the lgbt+ community films but a happy ending? off the table.
that spit scene why 👁👄➖
New York'ta yaşayan fotoğraf sanatçısı Ronit (Rachel Weisz), babasının ölüm haberiyle Londra'ya döner. Saygın bir hahamın çocuğu olarak olan Ortodoks Yahudi bir cemaatin içinde büyüyen Ronit için geri dönmek zordur, çünkü yıllar önce yakın arkadaşı Esti (Rachel McAdams)
ile yakınlaşması nedeniyle dışlanmış ve Amerika'ya gitmek zorunda kalmıştır.
Esti artık çocukluk arkadaşları Dovid (Alessandro Nivola) ile evlidir. Ancak cenaze evinde karşılaşınca birbirlerine olan tutkuları canlanan iki genç kadın tekrar gizlice bir araya gelirler. Ancak tutucu toplumun baskısına ne kadar dayanabileceklerdir?
Şili'li yönetmen Sebastián Lelio, tabuları aşmaya çalışan iki aşığın hikayesini Naomi Alderman'ın kitabından uyarlamış. Rachel Weisz ve Rachel McAdams karakterlerini cesur ve kusursuz şekilde canlandırıyorlar. Disobedience, sırf iki oyuncunun performansı için bile izlenebilir. Filmin ruhuna uygun soluk renklerin kullanıldığı görüntü yönetimi ve müzikleriyle de ilgi çeken filmi tavsiye ederim.
This movie's brilliance exists in its subtlety. The cinematography is balanced and understated, the dialogue is intelligent and at times quite funny. It moves slowly, and I remember thinking it was too slow when I first watched it, but this time I found most of it quite electrifying.
There is this slow build of tension based in shame, history, and attraction that is just so beautifully done that I could not look away. This is due to the incredible performances that the lead actresses delivered here, displaying a kind of chemistry that is all too rare on screen.
It's cathartic, moving, sexy, and forlorn, but above all it feels real. The first time I watched this movie, I couldn't fully comprehend the complexities of attraction, culture, and choice that it plays with. It was definitely worth a rewatch, and I still can't get some of those scenes out of my head.
Visto al cinema, dopo il rewatch mi sento di togliere mezza stellina.
Molto bella la prima parte , poi diventa noioso e prolisso.
Mi ha colpito in particolare la scena... No, non quella dello sputo 😅
Ma quando scappano dal quartiere ortodosso nella periferia di londra, rimasto fermo al medioevo, per riemergere nella Londra di oggi. Invece che un viaggio in metropolitana sembrano fare un viaggio nel tempo.
