Two topics that continuously entertain and fascinate - cinematography and death. Entertaining and interesting.
Film that made me cry the most.
Feb 21
I was 5 and saw Benji in the theatre. I was so devastated about the treatment of poor little Benji that I cried through the movie, on the way home wailing in the car crying for a dog. This carried on for 2 more days bawling and begging my parents for a dog and missed school. Flash forward 35 years later watching the. Movie at home with my own daughters - made it 2 minutes into the show and started bawling, my girls started bawling and we had to turn it off - but, it was not me begging for a dog, it was them. Alas, to this day when the word Benji is mentioned we all well up with tears and our desire for a dog also continues. We didn’t even attempt Benji Returns or For The Love of Benji.
The film that means the most to me…

The film that means the most to me is Charlotte Wells’ Aftersun. I saw it with no knowledge of what it was about at a film festival. It lulled me into its lapping waves of nostalgia, memory, and grief. Having unexpectedly lost my dad when I was twenty-one, the exploration of a dad and daughter dynamic, and the desire to search for an understanding of the past, sent me into the deepest sobs I’ve had in a theatre. The film captures an emotion that I haven’t easily been able to share with people in my life. I am eternally grateful it exists. I feel seen by it. Ps. I love this show so much.

It’s both very funny and heartwarming. Brett seems like a legitimately lovely person. My favourites are the year end ones with Nish. The film that means the most to me is The Quiet Man with John Wayne because it was my dad’s favourite movie and I grew up watching it with him. It’s meant to be charming like The Taming of the Shrew but Irish, and it kind of is but it’s also really misogynistic. But I can’t help but love it because my dad was kind of gruff when I was growing up (he mellowed out a lot over the years!) and watching it together was a happy time when we could bond.
