So that room Jacqueline rents pretty much takes Marie Kondo's Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up to its inevitable conclusion.

Au Hasard Balthazar 1966
I can completely understand why this movie is lauded but it is not for me.
Here's some thoughts I had while watching this film:

- So is that the sick girl? Is she dead? Wouldn't they be more upset if she was dead?

But man, remember when CDs came in unnecessarily large boxes. Hell, remember CDs.

And I'm not ashamed to admit, it kind of wrecked me.

The Naked Kiss 1964
Kinda feel dumb for believing for a couple of minutes that Kelly was actually a traveling champagne saleswoman.
