Gal Gadot wants her acting chops back.

"oh there are so many things to i want to do, so many things. but im afraid i'll never be able to do these things. i mean i can how can i ever....? i can't.."

"i was sitting in the kitchen, smoking, thinking what to do today, trying to....i was feeling very confused"

"i would love to paint everything. not talk, just make pictures"

chantal akerman capturing that exact feeling of wanting everything and being paralyzed by it. trying to decide what to do with the day and feeling impossibly confused. wanting to create without explaining yourself. just staying quiet and exist. this feels like someone put my internal monologue on screen

That would be me if other people could hear my constant overthinking

this really felt like Chantal Akerman knew exactly what she was doing from the start. the whole woman alone in her room thing like in Je Tu Il Elle and the narration like in News From Home along with the only sound being ambient road. this was also clearly he closest film to Jonas Mekas with the narration talking directly to the viewer and very rarely about what is actually happening on screen. i really liked how it felt like a goodbye from the main character. like this was her final day with her recapping her life and the flowers and the shots where she looks into the camera. did you know Chantal Akerman died 10 years ago today? i really wish more people knew her and her films. they’re very personal, especially to me. the only one of hers i haven’t seen myself in is Almayers Folley and even that was a 5 star film. i think about that ending nearly everyday

nobody does melancholia, loneliness and a good portrait of the mundane as chantal akerman
