Seriously, go see Bright Star, people. Normally, I'm so wrapped up in the discursive elements of a film - the sound, the dialogue, the cinematography, the composition of certain shots that it's hard to pull me out of my meditative film trance. But this film was so engaging, and yet so technically perfect. It had soul, but it was also so precise. There are some movies where I walk out of the theater and want my money back. This one, I would have paid double to see.

Also, I love Jane Campion. And I kind of want to look like her when I'm old. You know, except for the white part.
