un film
I watched Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles.
It was three hours long and the story could have been told quite well in a very short film of 30 minutes or less believe me.
More music and good editing and we still would have gotten the point
But three hours is another way of doing it too
Let me tell you WHY it was three hours.
You know in acting class when they tell you to pretend you are eating an apple, and they sit there for 20 minutes while you go through the motions of looking for the apples, choosing the apple, washing, drying, looking at, biting, chewing, swallowing, THE WHOLE apple?
THAT'S what this film does.
It follows a woman for three days. Doing what we would consider absolutely nothing (mundane things) and shows the length and breath of cooking, showering, cleaning and eating, till the last day when things change.
Its kinda funny if you think about it
It was a good movie yes. I sat in silence and watched this near silent movie and it was calming and good
The three days were necessary to show progression of character based on a morally taxing event that had become a large part of her existence.
I learned something and I got the message
BUT
I think I am all about being a little more concise after that experience

So sweet
I heard this and loved it
Bless the telephone by Labi Siffre
It's nice to hear your voice again
I've waited all day long
Even wrote a song for you
It's strange, the way you make me feel
With just a word or two
I'd like to do the same for you
It's nice to hear you say hello
And "how are things with you - I love you"
But very soon it's time to go
An office job to do
While I'm here writing songs for you
Strange how a phonecall can change your day
Take you away
Away from the feeling of being alone
Bless the telephone
It's nice, the way you say my name
Not very fast or slow, just soft and low
The same as when you tell me how you feel
I feel the same way too
I'm very much in love with you
