Movies I watched recently
Charade (1963). Look at that beautiful Art Nouveau lamp. I want it bad. The movie — a romantic suspense set in Paris — was pretty delightful, too. Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn were such wonderful personalities.
Wings of Desire, or Der Himmel über Berlin (1987). Favorite line: "Time heals all... but what if Time itself is the disease?" — An angel observes the minutiae of life on earth and is particularly taken with a French trapeze artist. What an absolutely gorgeous movie.
The film's voiceover inspired the lyrics of Dirty Projectors' "Stillness is the Move" — "On top of every mountain, there was a great longing / for another even higher mountain / in each city longing for a bigger city." If anybody wants to watch this again with me... I'm down.
