44. THE FALLEN IDOL, dir. CAROL REED, 1948.
i am thinking alot about morality, i am always thinking alot about morality.
i think this film will stroke the part of me that is obsessed with the constant ethical/ moral questions posed in everyday life, the small things that nonetheless keep me up at night.
i really loved julia. was amazed at the tying in of so much (motherhood -- human and country--, politics, citizenship, addiction, childhood, etc) in a way that illuminated all instead of (which easily could have been the case) becoming a jumbled and convoluted mess. the ending was perfect.
and: inglourious basterds!!!! i am hugely into quentin tarantino generally (i am constantly saying that jackie brown may be not just one of my favorite movies, but THE favorite), but regardless: yesyesyes!!! i loved it, too.
more to say, but running out the door. much written catch up in order these days. summer gets me behind, but it's getting colder and for film-viewing and just about every other activity that tops my activty-list, cold is good.

lovely.
satisfying to agree about julia, and especially about inglourious basterds. curious to hear what you thought of les bonnes femmes. a very sneaky movie. i liked it a lot.
i'm excited about this week's film. i'm excited for it to get colder, too. i've been a little distracted from film-watching myself, but i plan to get on track. let's do.
BAINES!
