Still from Aki Kaurismäki’s Le Havre, 2011

went to see this today. i could talk about this movie on and on, about the settings and lights and the whole display, and the 60’s feeling it had, with the slow telling and close-ups and cutting that could have seemed — oldfashioned if it wasn’t done so clearly on purpose like that. the feeling was so strong that seeing euros felt somehow wrong. the story obviously took place today, the unauthorised immigration -theme and everything, but it had this old film-making feeling in it, not just with the way it was shot, but with other stuff too, like the lights that made the settings look almost like a studio (how had they even done that really?), and other things that gave the movie a feeling like it was a— a movie done maybe 30-50 years ago about things that are happening today. timeless, is that a word?

/ok so yeah i did talk about this on and on then… :/ to get my mind off — um. waterfalls. (D”:)
