Big Screen: A Separation

A truly great movie. Really wonderfully done. Full of nuance and suggestion and believable humanity (especially in contrast to Carnage!!!). A movie that makes you change your opinion after every scene, but not in a Memento-type way, in a “TRUTH and THE FACTS are always ambiguous” type way.

Great performances by people I would love to see in more movies.

À la Nick Hornby, books in/books out for January.

Bought:

  • ?? I’m sure I bought at least one, but I don’t seem to have kept track. Probably because I SHOULDN’T be buying any whilst unemployed. Ah, well.
