Which I saw in Calgary with my daughter. In no ways at all the same as the first movie - a few shared plot points and characters, beautifully shot - amazingly shot - but attempts at profundity rather fail, and easily 20 or 30 minutes too long. In some ways a masterpiece - visually, certainly, but in others - well, not so much. Was glad to have seen it but if I knew I would have been glad to miss it...

And I felt very much like that ghost, I know it, I am both the ghost and the survivor, I know them, the whole "What place do I hold in your heart", the mute questioning of all of our existences, for those to whom this is an issue, this is important, for the rest of you, not so much...
It's a great movie, not even 5 minutes of dialogue in the whole thing, about memory, about profundity and immediacy of loss, about the past shaping the future, about the impact of unknown, unseen events upon our past, present, future, about the importance of people and all of our connections, all this with only a few short lines of dialogue, not even 5 minutes in the whole movie, evocative, heartrending, brilliant, if you've read this blog, more than once, found it and come back to it, trust me, it's worthwhile.

Finally, which I had been saving on the computer these several months, the logical sequel to his last "The Dance of Reality" - if you liked the one you'll enjoy this. The subtitle track I had was a bit sketchy, but I figured it out, you will too, and much of it doesn't need words, and none of it needs my recommendation...

I loved "The Lobster". And this looks as if it might be every bit as good...

Another film I downloaded onto the phone for the trip, it got generally favorable reviews, the tale of an old high-school romance briefly revisited when the couple by accident run into one another. Good cinematography, OK story, but somehow or another it just didn't click with me. Not quality, perhaps, so much as a lack of personal relevance.
