Ooooh, haven't written much. Not too much happens when you are sheltering in place, except binging on Netflix. I've seen 1 1/2 seasons of the Gilmore Girls, it's kind of funny but wearing thin.
When the movie theaters opened back up, we went to see Parasite. Strange film, weird that it won all those Oscars, nice to see a Korean film. And WONDERFUL to be back watching a movie. There ware five of us in the late afternoon showing.
This afternoon we went to see Master Cheng. There were six people there, so it was nice and comfortable, although I am afraid the theater can't survive on these numbers. We bought extra cokes and ice cream to help them make a buck.
This is a Kaurismäki film, but by Mika, the older brother of Aki, who is know for his bizarre Finnish films. It is a sweet story with some fun Finnish wierdness. It is almost Icelandic in presenting the Finnish landscapes in summer as the main character!
A nice mellow afternoon film - it won the audience award at the Lübeck Film Festival last year. The trailers were rather disturbing, films I don't think I want to see, scheduled to "open soon, April something". Uh, right, they couldn't re-do that bit of the trailer? Anyway, nothing interesting.
