clumsy aspiring secretary has one great skill: speed typing. it's a sports movie/rom-com about...speed typing in 1959. you know what's going to happen, but the whole thing is a stylish peek into postwar France with the occasional surprise along the way. not great art, but very fun. i'd like to show it to my parents.
a kind FOOL gave me a ride to the next venue, so it was an easy two-movie day.
Fuck Up
imagine a Cohen brothers film set on the border of Sweden and Norway. if that sounds awesome to you, IT TOTALLY IS. (if you don't want scary gangsters in your wry comedy, run away.)
that kept me out pretty late, so it was a shortish documentary for Wednesday.
The Last Shepherd
squee! this one left me glowing. a shepherd in Italy herds his sheep into the cathedral square in Milan. it's done as a slice of life and it is so very sweet. our hero the jolly fat man has a trusty dog, a smart wife, four gorgeous children, a taciturn partner (with one tooth), and 700 sheep. oh, and he spends a good chunk of the year in beautiful mountains. maybe there are too many long shots of sheep, but i like to look at sheep. perfect way to end a work day.
