I should just start logging movies like I do novels. I'll have to go back and see if I can figure out what number I'm on.
# 40: Youth Without Youth
Coppola's return to directing after 10 years. I've seen reviews calling this boring and incomprehensible. To that I would happily respond with a boot to the face to aid comprehension. This movie is fabulous. And fabulist. And fantastic, in both senses. It reminds me a lot of The Fountain, but I like this more. (Yes, for reasons having much to do with Tim Roth, I freely admit.)
( Vaguely spoilerific ramblings and squee, and one serious bitch. )
I think Pirici's character just crawled into my brain with all her luggage and cute hats, actually. Why do I keep having these ideas for historicals, damn it? (The answer is, of course, the fabulous costumes.) WWII spy-mages would be way too much fun.
I've also noticed a crazy amount of repeating imagery and themes in the past few movies I've watched--The Hulk, Rosencrantz & Guildenstern, Red Dwarf, and now this. Either I need to medicate, or the universe is trying to cram story into my brain with a cricket bat.
