In Reply to: Next, catch, "My Joy." Every bit as good and chilling. Superb acting, too. I caught it posted by tinear on July 30, 2020 at 12:09:05:
Do I need more reminders of what my life was fifty years ago? Not really.As the matter of fact, I had to revisit it some fifteen years ago, and also in a small provincial town...
Movies are fine, but they really don't tell you much, because they don't speak to you, and you are going to miss those many subtle hints and details - there is only so much that one can convey in the subtitles.
So I am getting mixed feelings watching that sort of stuff.
P.S. I finished the Cargo, and started on My Joy - it is available on Youtube, but with no subtitles, sorry!
It is emotional viewing. Some roads and landscapes look very familiar. I definitely remember that "No Gas" gas station, to the smallest detail, so I am wondering if they shot the one I used a couple of times? I know... there must be thousands of similarly looking ones, but this was airy.
