what happened to starting a thread

(watching it tomorrow night)
i object when a thread devoted to a director's other film has nu-film content. this is not the case here.

My review.

saw Love Is Strange again, it is a really nice film
of his other films I’ve only seen Keep the Lights On. Would like to see Frankie. The imdb page for Ira Sachs includes a future entry for a miniseries based on Christodora, one of my favorite novels of the last few years

Little Men was impressive too. understated in a very appealing way

I like your review Alfred

there wasn’t much going on plot-wise in Frankie and like all of his films it was very restrained, but the Sintra setting and cinematography were beautiful and I liked its maxim “find it before you look for it”

the last two films seemed to be about the effects of gentrification on families in NY, this film also had undertones of generational wealth but its focus was more on relationships and it was more enigmatic. thought the ending was really nice

I liked the unexpected connection between two characters toward the end of Frankie, and the view of it once and then twice removed

can't believe he got Franz Rogowski and Ben Whishaw as a couple in the new one, feels like something I dreamed

Was thinking something similar

I can't wait to watch it. Have you two seen it?
Ira Sachs has quietly amassed one of the firmest of filmographies.

I remember when I was still working on the first one. Seems like only…a few decades ago

I’m actually thinking of the second one, sorry.

was looking forward to Ira Sachs' miniseries based on Christodora, the 2016 novel by Tim Murphy (who has since disappeared) about the inhabitants of an apartment building in the East Village during the AIDS epidemic. It is one of my favorite novels. The miniseries never materialized

I might have a chance to see Passages in a couple weeks, but otherwise don't know when it's playing outside of festivals

Sachs otm. Forgot to say I did catch this at the Milwaukee fest, might be my favorite thing he's done. Felt closest to Keep the Lights On, he's so good at filming intimacy. Quite a few times I was like wow, I can't believe I get to see this.
