#so ... i know this film could be considered problematic for all sorts of reasons #but i think their little epistolary banter (is it still epistolary if the medium in question is an old packet of cigarettes?) was so sweet #at first i was rather sceptical and somewhat bemused at this film #but after rewatching it i have to admit that i am beginning to genuinely like it #which is either a sign of my advanced brainrot or a testament to the film actually being a decent piece of media #you decide #movies #mathilde (2004)#nutsa kukhianidze #jeremy irons #croatian actors #british actors #obscure movies #my gifs #the saga continues

“When I remember [that time], I think of it as dancing. Dancing with eyes half closed because to open them would break the spell. Dancing as if language had surrendered to movement–as if this ritual, this worldless ceremony, was now the way to speak, to whisper private and sacred things, to be in touch with some otherness. Dancing as if the very heart of life and all its hopes might be found in those assuaging notes and those hushed rhythms and in those silent and hypnotic movements. Dancing as if language no longer existed because words were no longer necessary.”

— Brian Friel, Dancing at Lughnasa

soracities

“When I cast my mind back to that summer of 1936, different kinds of memories offer themselves to me. But there is one memory of that Lughnasa time that visits me most often; and what fascinates me about that memory is that is owes nothing to fact. In that memory atmosphere is more real than incident and everything is simultaneously actual and illusory. In that memory, too, the air is nostalgic with the music of the thirties. It drifts in from somewhere far away – a mirage of sound – a dream music that is both heard and imagined; that seems to be both itself and its own echo; a sound so alluring and so mesmeric that the afternoon is bewitched, maybe haunted, by it.”
