Emmanuelle Béart is so so stunning in Manon des Sources!Recently I've watched Jean de Florette, Manon des Sources, Manchester by the Sea and The Accused (Jodie Foster). Great films, would recommend them all.

I read a summary of Salò a few weeks ago and even that absolutely eradicated my appetite, I can’t even imagine the effect of watching the actual movie! Way too gruesome for me tbh, I can’t do goreSalò, or the 120 Days of Sodom will absolutely eradicate any appetite you have for at least a day...
Obviously Pasolini is a genius and it's absolutely a masterpiece in its own way. Plus the music, setting, and costumes are divine and there's a semi-comic dimension in a sense (love John Waters' discussion on its making).
(Not my "favorite" movie but I'm not about to list Pasolini's work as "thinspiration")
I always have superrr strong opinions
I can rarely sit down and focus long enough to fully engage with a movie
I liked the movie, but that’s probably just because I love Audrey so much and she’s been such a huge inspiration to me for years. If you haven’t watched Roman Holiday you definitely should, it’s my favourite Audrey movie by far and much more engaging.I also finished Breakfast at Tiffany’s but found it quite slow and difficult to engage with. I am slightly crushed—I really wanted to love it. I might start the book and see if that’s any better.

In saying that, I have read Breakfast at Tiffany’s and I liked the book a lot better than the movies. There are quite a few big differences (starting with the fact that Holly is blonde!), especially the ending, but it’s very funny and I found it much more engaging than the movie adaptation.
I always wonder how Breakfast at Tiffany's would look if we had ended up with Capote's preferred casting choice, Marilyn Monroe. The film has become so iconic largely due to Audrey's performance, but it could have been Marilyn's opportunity to become recognised as a more serious actress (which she tried to accomplish with The Misfits, which was released the same year as Tiffany's).I liked the movie, but that’s probably just because I love Audrey so much and she’s been such a huge inspiration to me for years.
