The Odyssey
pretty biopic about Jacques Cousteau's family. like, someone wanted to do a Phillipe Cousteau movie and couldn't get funding. I want to rewatch Cousteau docs now. it's funny, I remember Phillipe from my childhood, but the memories would have been formed after he was long dead.

The Little Hours

adaptation of a bit from the Decameron, set in a nunnery. raunchy, funny but low joke density. it was shot on location in Tuscany, which is stunning (and surprisingly Northwest-like). Aubrey Plaza and the writer/director did a q&a afterward. (sistawendy, it will be released in Seattle at the end of June.)
