watched this today, I loved it. Enjoyed the book thoroughly but it didn't catch the true fabric of love like Wuthering Heights (favourite) by the other Bronte sister did. I prefer the crazed whirlwind, intensity of hate and love, passion and obsession and all that madness put into that one novel. An amazing book, I'm waiting for them to make another Wuthering Heights that lives up to my expectations. Patiently waiting because any adaptation of a british byronic romanticism novel is something I'll devour.

Le fabuleux destin d'Amelie Poulain

one of my favorite scenes from my favorite movie. I couldn't choose between the scene where she melts onto the floor after not having the courage to talk the guy she's in love with and the scene when she manages to give Mr. Bretodeau's tin box and he reminisces his childhood or when she pranks the vegetable vendor because he was being a dick.

 I actually love every scene, the movie is incredible, if you haven't seen it, I recommend you watch it, in french with subs...any other version destroys the charm of the story.

Solarium

Starring the uber cool Lykke Li. She looks strikingly beautiful in this mini movie, I love the shards of mirror they stuck into the desert sand, when I was watching this I wondered how long it took to place them and then remove them once they've finished... hmm must have taken a while.
Miss Lykke Li is very hypnotic in this movie (well, when she performs too) could not take my focus off her awkward yet sensual dance/posing movements, embodying a kind of chic-nomad-tribal-random-desert-inhabitant-kind of vibe. All in all, a very pointless (art doesn't need a point. Maybe the solariums and tanning mirrors are trying to convey the scandinavian love of tanning? I dont know) but creative movie. J'adore!

Uncle Boonmee.

I've wanted to blog about this for a while now. Being raised in Thailand you become strangely patriotic to Thailand, I think its the way we are raised, the Thais have a very strong connection to each other sometimes like a big loving family ( I know that seems so hypocritical since you witnessed the redshirt rebellion) but do believe me, maybe that is the secret to why we are so successful in tourism. Im not sure. But the fact that a Thai director won such a prestigious prize as Le Palme D'or at Cannes makes me want to cry (hahaha very melodramatic yes. i know) BUT I DO! People don't know this, but Thailand has an amazing artistic scene with the most innovative minds that have no yet been witnessed by the world...and I always find that its a crying shame. Maybe its because we have such long, extensive and hard to pronounce names?  I don't know. What I do know is that I'm so proud of every major Thai achievement, so for today I'm going to gloat about my fellow country men's glory and show you the trailer. enjoy :)

femme fatale

a little 90s flashback for your eyes only. I think they made another american version of this one, but I must say the french version is far better. Lately I've been watching lots of movies from the nineties from my dad's french movie archives...outfit ideas spring up like mushrooms! we've been seeing lots of touches of the nineties revival lately... the grunge revival, the round-frame sunnies, bomber jackets, doc martens, the denim jacket, combat boots, shoulder pads, Herve Leger's body-con bandage dresses have made a HUGE comeback with the celebrities these past few years. Anyways, enjoy!

The dreamers

I LOVE this movie. Its controversial, yes. But beautiful. Michael Pitt (♥) is so adorable in this movie the character transformation is remarkable, and so is the beautiful Eva Green oozing with sex appeal.  If you're stuck in a movie rut, i recommend you watch this, its very fresh and it will most probably get you out of your comfort zone.
