Tuesday studies, Wednesday studies and two films at cinema Sture:
Jag är nyfiken - en film i gult ("I am Curious /Yellow/") by Vilgot Sjöman and La haine ("Medan vi faller" in Swedish) by Mathieu Kassovitz.
The first film by Sjöman was a groundbreaking movie when it was released in 1967, with its metafilm-story, the nudity and outspoken social critics with an pseudo documentary angle.
La Haine is a story about three young men from different origin in the suburbs of Paris during the 1990:s. Their friendship, their conflicts with the police, skinheads and also within their group.
On Thursday I saw Troll by Vilgot Sjöman - a somewhat surrealistic film about a couple trying to get their sexlife functioning but who, at the same time, are afraid to have sex as they are convinced they are going to die (the little death)! After the movie I went to the book store Akademibokhandeln.
Next film on the agenda this day is Akai satsui ("Intentions of murder") by Shohei Imamura.
It's a film about a woman who in her home get attacked by a man who rob her and rape her.
She first wants to kill herself because of this 'disgrace' as she understands this situation according to traditions.
She graduely becomes a bit attracted by this man who visit her again and proclame that he is in love with her.
An ambivalent feeling is exposed in this young womans reaction and it becomes a dangerous game between the two of them.
Her husband, grandmother and son also play an important role in this story.
Now it's half past twelve in the night and I am going to bed.
Good night!
