Alright, let's dive into this epic summer adventure! 🌞🌊 Imagine two besties, Mia and Zoe, out on an unforgettable beach escapade. They're living their best lives, embracing the sun, sea, and freedom. 🌺
Mia and Zoe had been planning this beach trip for weeks, scrolling through countless Pinterest boards and Instagram posts for inspiration. Finally, the day had arrived. They hit the road early, blasting their favorite summer jams, windows down, and laughter filling the air. 🎶🚗
The beach was even more beautiful than they had imagined – crystal clear waters, soft golden sand, and a vibe that screamed pure bliss. The girls couldn't wait to jump in! They decided to go snorkeling, hoping to spot some vibrant marine life. With their snorkels and fins ready, they waded into the water, feeling the cool waves against their skin. 🐠🌊
Zoe, always the adventurous one, was the first to dive in. She moved gracefully, like a mermaid, her long hair flowing behind her. Mia followed, a bit more hesitant but equally excited. They explored the underwater world, pointing out colorful fish and unique coral formations to each other. Every discovery felt like a shared secret, making the experience even more special. 🧜♀️💙
After a while, they surfaced, laughing and chatting about all the amazing things they had seen. That's when Mia, who always had a knack for turning moments into memories, pulled out her waterproof camera. She wanted to capture the essence of their adventure – the carefree joy and the magic of the moment. 📸✨
As Mia adjusted the camera, Zoe playfully splashed water at her, causing Mia to burst into laughter. She snapped a few candid shots, capturing Zoe's genuine smile and the sparkle in her eyes. The sun was setting, casting a golden glow over everything, making the photos look straight out of a dreamy summer movie. 🌅
Feeling a bit more daring, Mia suggested they take a few photos without their swimsuits, just for fun and to celebrate their freedom. They were at a secluded part of the beach, after all. Zoe agreed, and soon they were laughing and posing, feeling like free spirits. The photos turned out stunning – a testament to their confidence and the strong bond they shared. 🌸💫
As the sun dipped below the horizon, they knew this day would be one they'd remember forever. They sat on the shore, wrapped in towels, watching the stars come out and talking about everything and nothing. Their beach adventure was more than just a day of fun; it was a celebration of friendship, freedom, and the beauty of living in the moment. 🌟❤️
So, what are you waiting for? Grab your bestie, plan that beach trip, and create your own unforgettable memories! Summer is all about living life to the fullest and embracing every moment. 🌞✌️
🌞🌊✨❤️🧜♀️📸🌺🎶🚗🌅💫

The Unforgettable (2009)
Right, this DVD is in Italian. The subs are supposedly in Italian. I have...ok French. I watched without subs (then realised they weren’t there anyway), because concentrating on one set of vibes at a time was enough, but it’s not a complicated film and by and large I think I got the gist. Please forgive my attempts at spelling Italian though.
It’s 2007 and Yash, the famous author of Sex: The Parasistic Desire, is having a Sad as he prepares for his final public appearance and remembers the 1980s...a simpler time. We flash back to 1986, Mauritius, where Yash is a cynical vol-cel type whose attitudes you can gather from the title of his book. He falls madly in love with Padma, who is much more free-living, can go toe-to-toe with him on discussions of what an orgasm is (is it a loss of control? Wonder why that upsets Yash?) and wins him over with lines like ‘what’s your name? I want to know who the author is of the book I’m never going to read’.
They have lots of steamy sex, then Padma disappears, after Yash has become quite clingy and fond of declaring his love for her. About one hour into the movie, Yash manages to track her down to a big villa in the countryside, where she tries to get him to see it wasn’t love, just two consenting adults having a good time. Padma explains that it’s finished. Paraphrasing my understanding of the Italian, Yash: “Why is it finished?” [per que de va finire?]
OH HERE HE IS
swag
Aditya Roy! Padma lives with him in his grand villa, and he’s back early from his conference.
He’s very impressed by the great author [il grande scrittore!] Yash, and invites him to a party he and Padma are having (to celebrate them being together? Married?)
Padma is clearly uncomfortable and says Yash won’t be able to come because he’s leaving - predictably enough, Yash says actually he’d love to come to the party.
Aditya is delighted. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) he leads Yash off for a chat.
Party time!
It’s still the ‘80s! And the slicked back hair isn’t staying slicked back...
Actual babygirl.
Padma is perpetually having the worst time ever, while Aditya giggles like a schoolgirl with his other guests
Padma makes her excuses to go and see her friends, Yash makes his own excuses to follow. Aditya is having fun anyway :’)
After a while, he wonders where Padma is (upstairs, I want to say....being made out with by Yash rather than so much ‘making out with’)
All alone at his own party!
Padma manages to get Yash off her and get away before Aditya finds her to check everything’s ok.
Some time later, Yash is hanging about their house again, trying to win her back. Aditya comes home with good news and Yash hides in the cupboard.
on his KNEES
I CAN’T BELIEVE YASH IS HIDING IN THE CUPBOARD WHILE THEY GET IT ON AND THIS IS ALL WE GET
CHEATED!! I FEEL CHEATED
omg it’s Aditya who should feel cheated and not just because of Yash! Padma’s still seeing the other guy from earlier too! Oh, maybe not exactly...she’s not as keen for it as he is, and luckily Yash walks in and punches him. Yash storms off. He gets absolutely blasted on scotch and borrowed spliffs, watches some guys fighting, then goes to Padma’s (she’s still just hanging about on her own in her room) with a gun to make a load of grand declarations about love and death. He threatens her, then he points the gun at himself. She wrestles him, it falls and goes off, Padma looks horrified, and then Yash leaves.
One year later...
I think he describes himself as Padma’s husband?
Oh he’s here about ‘affari de cuare’? Affairs of the heart? Definitely looks a bit teary-eyed too.
Also says alcohol doesn’t agree with him(?), but Yash shouldn’t let that stop him indulging.
He’s so out of focus in this scene and idk why :/
Oh, he’s not interested in banal formalities. He was thinking ‘hm, Yash is a real guy’ (?) so came to talk to him
como esta Padma...that’s an interesting question, apparently.
Yash claims not to understand and downs his drink (same Yash) (I did try to check the subtitles at this point, only to find out they don’t actually exist)
He says he has to go and catch a flight but Aditya says he’ll come with him as he’s going to the airport too.
Aditya’s waxing poetic in the taxi on the way to the airport and Yash is still like ‘?? don’t understand you mate’
Honestly it would probably make more sense if they were Italian?
I think, to summarise, it’s become clear that Padma’s love is for Yash, not Aditya - who talks about how he was like a man in the middle of the desert before she came along. Aditya gets exasperated with Yash’s politeness, and then Yash comes clean (I think), while Aditya is really going through it. He says how lucky Yash is.
He gives Yash a letter from Padma, asks him not to open it until he’s alone, and um. Dries his tears on Yash’s hand?
It’s not me you should be thanking, it’s Padma.
oh SHIT she dead? She dead! The gun that Yash dropped went off and the bullet ricocheted and hit her in the back. Apparently....complications ensued. I don’t think she told Atidya all those details...he nursed her until the end anyway :’)
In 2007, Yash has written a book called ‘Love Conquers All’, which his publishers seem alarmed by, but which apparently sets the world ablaze in a best-selling way. He makes his final appearance and gives a speech that I understood very little of. But thank goodness for dead women teaching men how to feel emotions!

Rating
Dead? Aditya is not dead, no!
Evil? Not at all. A doting husband and businessman with amazing fashion taste. I’m fascinated by whatever was going on with all that physicality in the taxi.
Affects the plot? Not really, sorry babe.
I’m really pleased I managed to get hold of this! There was so much more Joplin than I expected (though I do still feel cheated out of a cupboard-voyeur sex scene). Given what it intended to do, I think the film was better than I expected in some ways - though worse and more formulaic in others. It’s never radical to have the woman be the emotional saviour (even passively) and then kill her off. Nevertheless, if I can ever get hold of an English version I’ll happily watch it again - I wouldn’t rule out watching it again in Italian either, but I’m not going to learn Italian for the sake of it ;) it’s no And Then We Danced (a movie I did actually go out of my way to learn a language because of). A solid 3/5.
