    Being scattered-brain makes your video more free-flowing, I guess, as opposed to carefully choreographed like a lightsaber duel. Interestingly, I got myself a copy of Leonard Cohen's collection, "Stranger Music: Selected Poems and Songs" earlier in the year for winter, and it is an enjoyable read to jolt you out of winter blues. Or for any other time of the year, really. It contains much of his earlier poems that are pure fire. He's one of those writers who's either on life's edge, filled with doubt, or brimming with love stripped of the Hollywood-esque rosiness, one riddled with pain, the ugly, neglect.

I thought I could handle open endings/ cliffhangers pretty well, but apparently not..🙃 I still liked the book though, would have liked to know more of Alex' backstory.. So here's hoping for a follow-up/ part two/ sequel in which this will be revealed.

    I dont know if you ever watched a Wong Kar Wai movie but you definitely should! Especially Chunking express or Fallen Angels, In the mood for love... His movies are visually stunning, every cast is beautiful, sometimes they do bad things, there are questions about life, love, loneliness... I think you would definitely enjoy it! His movies will change you and leave a sense of longing or yearning in your soul. Maybe even melancholy.

    I would like to recommend The Mercies by Kiran Millwood Hargrave. The narrative voice somehow reminds me of Notes on an Execution, even though the settings are completely different. It's based on a real historical event in 1617, where almost all men of a small remote Norwegian village are wiped out by a storm. It imagines the lives of the women persisting through their loss and the harsh winter. It's a beautiful read about the relationships between women, in grief for the men they lost, and the haunting presence of men who seek to persecute them.

    I haven't seen Love Lies Bleeding, yet, but I feel like it would make a good double feature with Bound (1996). For more Godard I think you should watch Vivre Sa Vie, Band of Outsiders, and 2 or 3 Things I Know About Her. Other recommendations that for whatever reason make me think, "Dakota may like this," are: Betty (1992) (adaptation of the novel by Georges Simenon), Cleo From 5 to 7 (1962), The Piano Teacher (2001) (adaptation of the novel by Elfriede Jelinek), The Dreamers (2003), The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (1969) (adaptation of the novel by Muriel Spark), Loves of a Blonde (1965), and Funeral Parade of Roses (1969). OH! I'm sure you know this one but Picnic At Hanging Rock (1975) (adaptation of the book by Joan Lindsay)- if you haven't already seen (or read) these titles.

    I have a film recommendation, if you haven't already seen it: HENRY & JUNE (1990). It's based on Anais Nin's diary, from the time she had an affair with writer Henry Miller, and how they were both inspired by Henry's wife, June (played by Uma Thurman). It was the first movie to be given an NC-17 rating, so it wouldn't be associated with the unartistic X rating.
