Light

Watching bazillion movies back to back in the film festival made me think about a lot of things. It made me think about stories and storytelling and such. It made me realise – once again – that I'm really predictable when it comes to characters and story tropes: strong, broken women with a tragic past; clueless young trainee and her older, wiser mentor (who may be either male or female); yearning (in general); mothers and daughters... Reflecting on the two movies I loved most, I also realised that there is a particular kind of storytelling which I adore, and it's why I loved these movies so. ( navel-gazing )
