killed a double feature last night. first was quiet city. most boring shit i've ever seen in my life. and that's coming from someone who generally enjoys mumblecore (christ i hate writing that word). there was one (maybe two) good scenes. the rest was a snoozefest, and i struggled to finish [all 78 minutes of] it. that said, it did sort of capture the experience of day wandering around brooklyn ruminating about life and shit with your 20-something slacker friends. the photography was great too. i'd say it's a decent start, and it inspired me to put dance party USA and cold weather in my queue. still pretty optional. to quote smoot: "is it even possible for a mumblecore movie to be anything but optional?"
then on to bakery girl of monceau. this is all i need to say:
"A law student with a roving eye and a large appetite stuffs himself full of sugar cookies and pastries daily in order to garner the attentions of the pretty brunette who works in a quaint Paris bakery. But is he truly interested, or is she just a sweet diversion?"
you get one guess. shown in its entirety below.
