Sentimental Value

Best International Feature Film and my Best Picture. I’m watching this for a second time since seeing it at the theater and can without a doubt say, it is my Best Picture. Every single thing about this film speaks to me. Every layer of its filmmaking, story telling, character portrayal. It’s up there with Joachim Trier’s The Worst Person in the World, my favorite movie of all time, for good reason. It’s so beautiful. It’s such a distraction for me in the best way possible. It’s weird, like when you first start dating someone. When you first fall in love. When you can’t stop thinking about that person even when you’re trying not to, to focus on your work or any task at hand. Love at first sight, love through experience and time spent. This film will always be with me, in my heart and on my mind. I love this film!
