The Leopard 1963
“Sleep, my dear Chevalley, eternal sleep, that is what Sicilians want. And they will always resent anyone who tries to awaken them, even to bring them the most wonderful of gifts. And, between ourselves, I doubt very strongly whether this new Kingdom has very many gifts for us in its luggage.”

Rambling Rose 1991
A baffling screenplay. Here’s some of my favorite lines:
“Replace that tit!”
“I have robbed the cradle and fell into hell.”
“The strangest vibrations in this house today!“
“I am only a human girl person and I ain’t always perfect.”
“I am only a human man person myself of the father variety.““Pack your bag, baby. As of this moment, you are hired, mired and fired.”

Nomadland 2020
It nearly broke my heart right at the start.
To see Frances behaving so effortlessly and Chloé Zhao framing the Western landscape with a breathtaking reverence.
To hear the stories and see the world-whipped faces of the fellow nomads Fern encounters on her journey.
To be reminded how living life in the present can be a true, true calling. Loss may be wide, but so is the open sky.
