The Silence of the Lambs

1991

★★★★★ Liked Watched

I had seen it, but had I really SEEN it? No. 

Wow and ouch!!! Literally ouch! 

Have I ever been touched by performances like Jodie’s and Sir Tony’s? (She should be Dame if we’re playing that game) 

All together excited, riddled and quite honestly, petrified. 

It’s a perfect film. DAMN. The layers! 

Shout out of the week goes to Chris Edwards for the 3 minute video essay dissecting Hanni & Clarice’s first interaction, when we realise…uh oh, a game is afoot!!!!!…

The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert

1994

★★★★½ Watched

The Age of Innocence

1993

★★★★½ Watched

My word

The pain the anguish in my heart 

I’d crumble in this society

Wow

Wait, ps I feel like I understand why people would religiously see the opera…those singers got to express everything the audience was feeling in their tightly buttoned suits, covering the bubbling pot of their SOUL underneath…when words fail cos feelings too big = opera, baby. WOW 

Makes sense in my head, no further questions. This is my Letterboxd
