Céline et Julie vont en bateau: Phantom Ladies Over Paris (1974) dir. Jacques Rivette
#i'm fine i just need to talk to someone about this film#i also love the woman in the floral dress (bottom right) who is clearly having some opinions about this motherfucking improv#it's 3hrs+ of sapphic coded narrative haunting reality bending deconstruction time loops + the existential horror of contemporary society#and then lines like this. i know i'm missing wordplay but i can't keep up enough w/o subtitles to catch idioms. but. kinda like it that way#'impossible! the mere sight of a fish gives me amnesia!' is another fave#movies#jacques rivette#celine et julie vont en bateau#celine and julie go boating#i apologise in advance but i guess i'm entering my rivette phase now#'cinema should be - if not an ordeal - then at least an experience'#my dude. you knocked it out of the park.#no really#i've had to do a week's worth of work in one night bc The Crises and i put this on to help keep going before my brain fell out.#and i loved it. like. i haven't been so excited about a film since i got briefly obsessed with the hourglass sanatorium#the kid is literally named madlyn. it's like having a giant neon sign that says 'hey proust kiss my ass' as the girls reconstruct#the narrative and change melodrama into farce. shift the ending and annul the pain. theater as alchemy. friendship and love as alchemy.#as change/mechanisms for salvation. i decided this week one thing i wanna do in my life is see the maritime museum/rocca al mare in tallinn#another is going to be showing this to someone who'll like it.#there are probably dozens of us out there. dozens.
