anybody ever seen robert altman's shortcuts? that movie is a fucking DOWNER. i mean, well done, that is GREAT, that is as big as this world, it's like a billion times better than this movie i saw recently, magnolia, which now that i think about it is pretty much a remake. what a shitty imitation. anyway, yeah. it's ENORMOUS, there are tons of marvelous little bits, relationships i actually believed in, a real relief from wuthering heights where heathcliff is ever sending his soul to hell and back for catherine because he's an ALIEN and NOT REAL, but these were some fucking actual relationships, ones full of contingency, that's the fucking word, relationships contingent on this big and very affecting world we live in.
shortcuts is a terrific name for this movie; that is one wry, sly title
kira says i'm like a baby when i speak swedish, such is the miraculousness, the surprise, the newness. i have mixed feelings on this.
