Strange What Love Does: Two Movies

http://strangewhatlovedoes.blogspot.com/2009/02/two-movies.html

Strange What Love Does. A woman in trouble with culture. Friday, February 6, 2009. Last week, after what I think was exactly a calendar year of not going to the Film Forum. For no other reason than sheer laziness (well, also not living in NYC for five months of 2008), I saw two films at the Film Forum. They were Silent Light. Directed by Carlos Reygadas, and Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles. Directed by Chantal Akerman. It was my first time seeing both movies. But it too has a deep lov...

Strange What Love Does: Menstrual blood, dandruff, garlic, Stella McCartney perfume, and shampoo, I'd wager

http://strangewhatlovedoes.blogspot.com/2009/09/menstrual-blood-dandruff-garlic-stella.html

Strange What Love Does. A woman in trouble with culture. Wednesday, September 9, 2009. Menstrual blood, dandruff, garlic, Stella McCartney perfume, and shampoo, I'd wager. I was listening to some lovely songs on Orenda Fink's MySpace. When, I shit you not, this advertisement popped up:. It'd be easy to join the bandwagon of Twilight. Hatred, but I'm not going to. I'll level with you guys. I think Twilight. But I can't help a deep intrinsic affinity for Twilight. Foremost among them. Although Brite ha...

Strange What Love Does: November 2008

http://strangewhatlovedoes.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html

Strange What Love Does. A woman in trouble with culture. Saturday, November 29, 2008. That Time I Felt This Thing. What was my first act of fandom? Anecdotal evidence says that it was singing along with Madonna's "Papa Don't Preach" video. I was eleven years old. I've never been much of a journaler, but that day I opened up a new blank book I'd received for Christmas and wrote on the first page: "I saw Flipper. Today Now I have a crush on Elijah Wood.". On the smallest screen at our local movie theater a...

Strange What Love Does: Against Irony: The Many Virtues of Jane Campion's Bright Star

http://strangewhatlovedoes.blogspot.com/2009/09/against-irony-many-virtues-of-jane.html

Strange What Love Does. A woman in trouble with culture. Friday, September 11, 2009. Against Irony: The Many Virtues of Jane Campion's Bright Star. In Jane Campion's Bright Star. That's Hammershøi's Interior With Young Woman from Behind. And Hopper's Morning Sun. In order, above. Like my other favorite films of recent memory - Silent Light. Which I reviewed together here). A more authentic experience. This film captures the exhausting length of life with elegance and wit. Is Campions best work even though.

Strange What Love Does. A woman in trouble with culture. Thursday, December 17, 2009. What, exactly, is the point - or the merit - of Helen Simpson's short story "Diary of An Interesting Year," featured in The New Yorker. Certainly its publication has something to do with the flailing Copenhagen talks, rechristened "Nopenhagen" from "Hopenhagen" by various parties. And now I've been upset by this story, too. And The Year of the Flood. Now number three) - that is to say, occasionally shot through with bla...

Strange What Love Does: It's Not The End Of The World Or Anything

http://strangewhatlovedoes.blogspot.com/2007/09/snooping-around-over-at-dizzies-i-found.html

Strange What Love Does. A woman in trouble with culture. Saturday, September 22, 2007. It's Not The End Of The World Or Anything. Snooping around over at The Dizzies,. I found myself entranced by Ed’s ”livebloggery”. Of Cormac McCarthy’s appearance on Oprah. McCarthy’s latest book, The Road. And leapt at the chance to see Wong Kar-Wai’s 2046. So why haven’t I already filled up a Facebook profile with quotes from The Road. Aside from the fairly repugnant quality of that idea? At every turn, I try to keep ...

http://strangewhatlovedoes.blogspot.com/2009/09/racial-politics-of-district-9.html

Strange What Love Does. A woman in trouble with culture. Tuesday, September 8, 2009. The Racial Politics of District 9. Warning: Definite spoilers ahead. As I watched Winkus Van De Merwe, the titular anti-hero of Neil Blomkamp's feature District 9. Complaint about the film's inexplicable switch from straightforward fake-documentary to first-person narrative film. Still, I enjoyed District 9. And see how much further Blomkamp can take his allegory. December 18, 2009 at 1:29 PM. I Had It Bad Reading Series.
