Like always, rushing to get things done before leaving town. Somehow there's always frustratingly more I want to do than time left to do it in. More movies I'd hoped to watch before leaving. More books I'd hoped to read. There's a hole in my head I was hoping to fill!
I did watch
Letter From an Unknown Woman last night - which was probably the most effective, affecting melodrama I've ever seen (better (in a way) than the Sirk's, I think). The night before it was the Rivette - which I've been dying to see for a few years - so happy it finally came out on DVD and I got the chance (been on a Rivette kick since being overwhelmed by the weirdness of
Celine and Julie go Boating when I was in London earlier this year). I'm hoping to get in one more film in tonight, perhaps
Sunrise, another one from Schrader's film canon I've yet to see.
Anyhow, I'll be back in two weeks.
