I ♥ Cinema
Mmm, I baked apple pie today and I just had a slice and it's so so good, yummy. :) *rubs belly* I just wish I had vanilla ice cream to go with it, mmm... I've made apple pie dozens of times since I was a child, but never by myself, always as my dad's assistant (I got the cooking gene from him, who in turn got it from his mother), and always following my dad's recipe, which is to say, none at all. Turns out he always skipped that part when you dip the apples in sugar and spice and all things nice cinnamon and stuff so that's why it'd always come out so dry and unflavor-y.
Anyway, I've started translating Oleaje, who got the most votes, and man, but it's been kinda hard - it's so painfully Mexican in its execution. Anyway, by popular demand, I'll probably be translating Hedonismo too once I'm done with this one.
I saw The Dreamers yesterday nigh, and oh wow. Oh man, I'm in love. One of those movies, you know? The premise: Matthew is an exchange student in Paris, and he meets and falls in love with a pair of fraternal twins, Isabelle and Theo, and the three of them seclude themselves from the world, lost in a fantasy world made up almost entirely of reminiscences of old movies while the student rebellion of 1968 comes to a peak outside their window. So yes, there is incest, somewhat explicit sex and a lot of nudity, and yet, I loved it to pieces. Just - the way they interact with each other, the games they play, it was all incredibly moving, even if they're all somewhat disturbing characters. Then the love of cinema of all of them was just incredible, and the lovely Parisian atmoshere coating everything and the subplot of the revolts was really well made. I'm only sad that it didn't have subtitles for the French parts, few as they were, and I feel like I lost something of the sibling's interactions. In all, I just loved it, so, so much. It's weird, though, remember what I said a few days ago about gratuitous sex? It didn't feel like that at all in here, because, just like in Y Tu Mamá También, sex is one of the main ways in which the character interact, and it tells a lot about their characters. Plus, they were really well made, and not at all pornographic or anything of the like.
So much thanks to anyone that recced me this one,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
moonix and mon_starling come to mind, and I know I'm still forgetting someone else...
