I am bad with sheet music but I transcribed the beginning of this genius piece for fun

just wanna let you and other My Brilliant Friend fans know that there's a movie set in the 60s coming out where Gaia plays the main character and has a love story with another woman!

Oh, I'm sure most people know by now! We are a bunch of thirsty knowledgeable sapphics! 😁

The movie is called Girasoli and it's Catrinel Marlon's opera prima. I don't know her, she seems to be an actress and model of Romanian origin. It stars our dear Gaia Girace alongside Mariarosaria Mingione. Watch the trailer here.

The film, which I believe has just premiered in the Torino Film Festival, is set in the 60's and tells the story of Lucia (Gaia), a supposedly schizophrenic intern in a mental institution, and Anna (Mariarosaria), who arrives there as the new nurse. The marketing texts I've read already call it an impossible love story, so I guess that the girls aren't going to flee together, escape the patriarchal power structure and live happily on this one either.

In fact, the trailer is very reminiscent of MBF in the sense that every scene of the girls together is stuff that Lenù and Lila already kind of did in the show, from the bath to the dancing and even the hand touching in the back of the car. I guess it's... a coincidence? Not?

This has also reminded me of this wonderful sketch from Saturday Night Live called Lesbian Period Drama. I love all the movies referenced, but "featuring Academy Award Glance Choreography and best supporting actress nominee: The Wind" has me cackling with laughter every time.

Anyway: Sure, I mean, I'm gonna see it. 🤷‍♀️

Idea for a period lesbian drama:

A genteel lady is taken to a mountain cabin by her husband, to recover her nerves after the strain of a bad Season.

While taking long walks through primordial glades, she meets a woman of the woods, who has educated herself to live free in these woods, living off the land and trading for goods in the nearest town.

The woodswoman offers to teach the city woman woodworking.

Requisite scene where we see the woodswoman splitting wood in the rain.

Requisite scene where she guides the city woman through her first splitting of a log, the log splitting to frame the hapless husband checking on city woman. He is not bad, but he underestimates women and sees city woman as helpless and dependent on him.

City woman prevaricates.

Woodswoman makes romantic gestures.

No sex. Just touches, glances, and long talks and walks together, surrounded by towering trees.

I call it "Pining".

percentage-wise, how much is ammonite (2020) about paleontology and how much is it about period-drama lesbians? and how accurate is the paleontology stuff, at least to that time period?

[marzipanandminutiae]

“I want gay things to happen to me now” I say, sitting at home being an unpleasant harridan with weird interests and very specific romantic tastes and life goals not common among my preferred dating demographic

Deleted Scene where Padme and Beru make food for Anakin

INTERIOR TATOOINE MOISTURE FARM, KITCHEN-MORNING

PADMÉ prepares some food for ANAKIN. BERU helps her.

BERU: What's it like there?

PADMÉ: I'm sorry?

BERU: On Naboo...what's it like?

PADMÉ is completely preoccupied with her concern for ANAKIN, but she does her best to reply.

PADMÉ: Oh-it's…very green. With lots of water. And trees. Not like here at all.

She takes out a tray and starts to put food on it.

BERU: I think I like it here better.

PADMÉ: Maybe you'll come and see it someday.

BERU: I don't think so. I don't like to travel.

They finish preparing the tray.

PADMÉ (smiles): Thanks, Beru.

She goes out.
