What I’m watching …
I’ve been addicted to the Criterion Collection this summer. My TV consumption goes way down during the warmer months, so if I’m sitting down in front of my TV, I want to feel just as fulfilled as I would if I were at a party or on a long, dreamy walk. Most of my favourites are in French, which I use to supplement my nearly 800-day streak on Duolingo.
Here are some highlights:
Water Lilies (Céline Sciamma, 2007) – an intimate French film about teenage friendship, sexuality and obsession.
La Piscine (Jacques Deray, 1969) – a summer staple starring Alain Delon and Romy Schneider at their best. Gorgeous and unnerving. Watch this and then watch Luca Guadagnino’s 2015 remake, A Bigger Splash.
Stranger by the Lake (Alain Guiraudie, 2013) – Also gorgeous and unnerving. Don’t watch this if you’re not into seeing naked men. Also French.
