Luca Guadignino’s sensual, beating with heart, lust and soul in every frame, "Call Me By Your Name" (2018)


To have your heart long for another's heart, and to get near that person, the one that awakens all your passions, the one that makes everything else around taste more unique, to lust and to love, this is the tenderness, sensuality and beauty of existence. To feel and then to feel together. Set in a charming village in the North of Italy (the location is actually Guadignino's hometown: Crema), during a summer in the early 80s. [TO BE CONTINUED] Borrowing from Guardian's film critic: "And then there is Stuhlbarg’s speech advising against the impulse to cauterise or forget pain: “We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster than we should that we go bankrupt by the age of 30.” There is such tenderness to this film. I was overwhelmed by it." Full review from The Guardian is here. To rewatch the sublime scenes, see Sufjan Steven's theme song, "The Mystery of Love".

Damien Chazelle's Optimistic, Bright as the L.A Sun, Heartwarming and Life Inspiring, Live Your Dreams, Delightful "LA LA Land" (2016)


A true delight for the eyes, and ears, and most importantly, for the heart. For the yearning hearts, to feel the rhythms, live the rhythms, and create the rhythms of your dreams. Through hardwork, persistence, the belief in magic and your dream, but also through the force of love, unexpected love, the belief that we can have in one another. Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone are cinematic and romance perfection. The "Audition" scene encapsulates the full storyline and the feeling, it's a pivotal scene. "My aunt used to live in Paris I remember, she used to come home and tell us stories about being abroad and I remember that she told us she jumped in the river once, Barefoot She smiled, Leapt, without looking And She tumbled into the Seine! The water was freezing she spent a month sneezing but said she would do it, again Here's to the ones who dream Foolish, as they may seem Here's to the hearts that ache Here's to the mess we make She captured a feeling Sky with no ceiling Sunset inside a frame She lives in her liquor and died with a flicker I'll always remember the flame Here's to the ones who dream Foolish, as they may seem Here's to the hearts that ache Here's to the mess we make She told me: A bit of madness is key to give us to color to see Who knows where it will lead us? And that's why they need us, So bring on the rebels The ripples from pebbles The painters, and poets, and plays And here's to the fools who dream Crazy, as they may seem Here's to the hearts that break Here's to the mess we make I trace it all back, to that Her, and the snow, and the sand Smiling through it She said She'd do it, Again"
