There isn’t enough time in the day for me to mentally prepare to choose a different jacket against how fast this weather changes. I’ll wear my black puffer, faux fur trimmed, J-LO, as people don their hoodies or their stupid shorts in this ten degree weather.

Movie: Too Late To Die Young (2019)
October 16th, 2019
This film is an example of the motto that style creates meaning. But now I’m left thinking, no matter how well you shoot a film and put it together, if the story is bad, it’s bad. So I’m convinced that the film’s story exists at the end of it all.
The film is an assemblage of character portraits of a commune on the outskirts of Chile’s Santiago. The film is in tones of browns, reds and blues, immediately setting the film in the past. The clothes of the characters are well worn, beautifully mis matched and emboldens the retro tone palette. Right off the bat these tones and the wardrobe transport you to an idyllic place but as the story goes, you see glimpses of potential destitution. Nevertheless, you sense a purity in all of the characters even if they are naïve, and that is why this film is beautiful.
Their commune doesn’t have running water or electricity and they are at serious threat to wild fire. Their access to cars, a waterfall and river close by, and civil commune meetings might lead one to believe that they have their lives put together, but they don’t. The film captures the phase of the commune’s disillusionment but it’s contrasted with images of children walking around under a treehouse in the middle of the day and teenagers making music around fire pit get togethers.
But of course the commune’s infrastructure problems are just the surface of the story. Our main character Sofia (Demian Hernández) is on the brink of young adulthood and Sofia yearns to go back home, probably to running water and a place where she can plug in a radio, but more importantly, be with her mom who lives out in the city. The catch is we never see her mom and by the end of the film, it seems like she never will either.
And so I’m left thinking how could somebody have the opinion that this film was about nothing.
Movie: Silvia Prieto
October 14th, 2019
Narration and grainy film opens Silvia Prieto. A woman is about to embark on a journey. She just quit her job, we don’t know what it was, and like so many of us, she has decided to work as a waitress while she strategizes what to do next.
Silvia meets with her ex fiancée without any resentment. She’s indifferent about it, and except for a woman who has the same name as her in the phone book, she is blasé about everything. Nervousness and excitement only enter her life when she calls the copy cat but other than that, her home cooked meals consist only of chicken diced into pieces, without any sauce, salad or sides, and to unwind she smokes pot alone on her dainty balcony. Her apartment is whatever but not quite the shithole, and she never stresses about rent. Then she meets her ex-fiancée’s new girlfriend and without blinking an eye, sleeps with her ex fiancée’s new girlfriend’s ex-fiancée. It’s all too ridiculous but if you’ve lived life long enough you know this isn’t surprising, and now ask, why does any one ever choose to be in the position of taking anything too seriously in the first place.
I conducted a google search and chose Hollywood’s go-to publication, Variety. But, Variety didn’t know how to handle this film. It claimed its characters were “dawdling and spending inordinate amount of time in restaurants,” when that’s the whole point in the first place.
In the end, Silvia’s relationship with her copycat fails, as do all of her other relationships, but her quest to steal other identities, continues. We end off with her trying to be someone else at a police station, claiming to be another woman without a passport or birth driver’s license. Why doesn’t she set goals? Why is she stealing other people’s identities instead of just building her own? Who else is she?
Maybe answering those questions would have engaged others more but still the absurdist dawdling was alright. The film was made in 1999 and it was a delight to see what everyone was wearing today in its true first form in Buenos Aires.

The reasons why I failed to reach out and plan another get together after we last met:
- I was embarrassed that I was boring you with my sadness over a recent break up
- I did all of the talking because when I asked you questions, you didn’t respond so I felt again, that I was boring you
- I asked you to hang out actually but then you asked if I was still seeing my boyfriend. I thought you were my friend and not trying to date me.
- I thought you were trying to date me.
- You wanted to go out and get laid and I just wanted to hang out with you and eat food in Montreal.

- an excerpt from my pending grant application explaining what new approaches I am bringing to film
:-)
A theatre, for example, is often a place where the dead can speak. A simple example is found in Hamlet: the dead father comes on stage and tells how he was killed by his brother. That is the decisive moment in this play, without which neither Hamlet nor the audience would have access to the past. They would have to go on believing the story of the murderer, who claimed Hamlet’s father had been bitten by a poisonous snake. Through the dead man’s story we learn a bit of the past that otherwise would have remained obscure. The theatre is the place where knowledge not accessible to us becomes audible. In other places, we almost always hear only the tales of the living. They force their stories on us to justify themselves, and so that they will be able to go on living, like Hamlet’s uncle. The tales told by the dead are fundamentally different, because their stories are not told to conceal their wounds.

A man unrequitedly in love will stand outside your home and knock, throw, kick, holler, relentless in pursuit. Foreign to the idea of a space he is unwelcome in. A woman unrequitedly in love will sit. She’s far away from your house. She knows it’s not for her. She will wait, she has gifts prepared if she is ever invited in. She has herself prepared if she’s not.
