pizza on the beach, aperol spritz, Antibes, grace kelly, Charli and Sabrina, sun and salt, red handkerchief, cote d’azur, lost hydro flask, a small island just outside of Cannes with a monastery, and just me and my kind

I love this movie, it broke me, but in a good way. I love Christopher Isherwood. This movie broke me the same way, that Cabaret also broke me

I love movies about gay writers with bittersweet endings, however, Matt Smith isn't gay enough for this.
