"You know what's so annoying? Having to justify everything on the internet and constantly walking on eggshells in case something is ethically grey" words from a poet indeed.

war and peace is very easy to read actually, and this is the book that divides your life into before and after. you should definitely try! 🕊️ (сори за плохой английский)

Agree. The key is to printout a list of characters to refer to as you read. Important as characters can be referred to by several names. Well and there are a ton of characters.

I need more people like this in my life
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.
Noticed your new shelf right away! Photography is my greatest passion and I hope you find some comfort in it too.
I always long for these types of videos~ love you, Saint Dakota
You are literally the only person I trust with book recommendations 😭
your hair looks amazingggg omg
Omg yesss the queen has posted!!!!
Hi Dakota ! Love your channel and your videos of book recommendations are making me fall back in love with reading. Just finished your poetry book as well. Exquisite. Love you ~Tara from Texas 🤍
hiii dakota speaking about art!!!
I also just read The guest by Emma Cline. Finished it yesterday. I had the exact same thoughts on the ending.. 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.
Your accent pronouncing French words is so funny! Love these recs, very jealous over the new Cusk arc
I also watched the blue lagoon growing up (for some reason they would always have it on on Sunday) with my mum so I get the nostalgia that you feel. I haven't rewatched it in my adulthood but I definitely want to
Hi Dakota, Two of my favorite films are "Picnic At Hanging Rock", and "Photographing Fairy's". Beautiful Imagery,wonderful plots. Your plant is trying to get in on your video !
I have been having a really horrible time lately, I have just come home from my job and just saw you posted. Life is good again
Okokok i came back after SOME TIME bc I’m like “wow ok this girl is … something” and I knew I would eventually appreciate her and HERE WE R. Livingggg. In my Dakota warren era

Omg I relate to that kinda. I fluctuate between an absolute insane woman obsessed to death with.. well death and self induced death and war and pure wrath and a sweet chill romantic type who loves Dakota and such. School's been a b lately so I've been off the walls insane. I'm so glad I ofund her again.
New background is absolutely GORGEOUS!! Btw, if you want to know more about The Guest's ending, you can go watch Dua Lipa's interview with Emma Cline for her bookclub! And OMG I didn't even know Rachel Cusk was coming out with a new book! So excited!
lady dakota, you might actually be my favourite person in the world
Always a good day when lady Dakota posts
loved it, - first cow - would be my recommendation. (and maybe - the holy mountain - but there is this one frog (or toads? I'm unsure) scene that I personally can't stand behind from an ethical standpoint but aside from that its absolutely great)

I grew up reading and listening to Leonard Cohen. His poetry has been with me since high school. His works have meant a lot to me. I'm glad you liked his work.
I love ur recommendations so much Dakota ❤😊❤😊
i absolutely adore your videos
decided to start studying films again today and look what I get in my recommended. Thanks
You should watch The Last Unicorn if you have not already. It is a children's film, but it is such a beautiful work of art and it has made me cry on numerous occasions.
I feel the same with short story collections, it’s really difficult for me to find ones that I love. Have you read St. Lucy’s Home for Girls Raised by Wolves by Karen Russell? That’s probably one of my favorite short story collections and I think you would like it. I also really enjoyed Vampires in the Lemon Grove also by the same author.
i read Widow Basquait early last year and just remember how intimate and raw it felt. there are so many exploitative biographies out there and i was so impressed and touched with how unglamorous it was. great read !
Ugh, these monthly reports have me in a chokehold, Dakota!
this was the best!!!!
i LOVED love lies bleeding!! theres this film called drive away dolls which i liked even more which is like the much sillier cousin of love lies bleeding i would definitely recommend it
I’m sending you love ❤❤❤
Been on a Dakota binge the past few days, SO excited to see this in my subscription box!!🫶🏻
Pierrot le Fou is literally one of my fav movies. It's such a fun coincidence that right before clicking on this video I was watching an Anna Karina interview!!
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’ve already added the first one to my TBR. worried here 😂
I had a terrible day today. Thanks for this lovely gift.

I have a recommendation!!! I read Journal of a Solitude by May Sarton last month and I think you would like it!! May was a poet and novelist who suffered from depression and she kept this journal for a year recording her every day life experiencing loneliness and solitude and ruminating on her relationships with people,animals,her work,her garden. Life in general. Such a wonderful book,it made me think of you while reading
I hope you made it to the event in time ❤😂

Sorry...I hate to do this 'cause I like You so much. BUT, I believe can be important, in a certain way (or for someone). Please don't be offended by my correction, BUT, "opium" and "heroin" are two different things. Hope that You'll understand why I felt that I had to write this comment. Pardon me, please. Stay well, take care

hi dakota! what do you think of making a tutorial on how to annotate? i’m really stuck rn & i’m not sure how to annotate well, i’d love it if you could show us how to annotate!
I'm using this as a reward after doing some revision haha
i adore you 💗
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.
Love to see Paola Cortellesi’s work being loved outside of Italy
For recommendations I think you'd love Jacques Demy's work! French New Wave director, specifically the film Bay of Angels about fate & beautiful people doing terrible things!
Amazing recs P.S. you look beautiful
If you're in the mood for more Godard, I would highly recommend "Week-end." It's my favorite from him. I would also recommend "Daisies" from 1966. It's a very abstract feminist film from the Czech New Wave.
You are so beautiful and love ur fashion style so much ❤
I absolutely recommend the movie Before Sunrise if you haven't watched it! its truly captivating with the cinematography and dialogue (its a chefs kiss if you will)
i read in favor of the sensitive man this spring too! i'll be grateful for it all my life long - led me to begin "at a journal workshop" by ira progoff and in turn start to write nearly incessantly & to become much more intimate with the journalling process than ever before (in 20+ years of keeping diaries!) - if u ever end up reading that one i would luv to hear ur thoughts :^)
not related but I wish you the best about your novel, it is amazing to see novels by young writers
LUV U Dakota and angel and most remarkable women and writer author ❤❤
camcorder vibes are exquisite
the film "The Double Life of Veronique" really reminds me of you and it seems like something you might enjoy

Have you read Ananïs Nin's childhood diary as well? Linotte is brilliant!
Watch Frankenstein the silent films, they’re my favorite
I love your look.😊
Girl DROP THE LETTERBOXD
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.
Hey Dakota, where did you get your cross pendant from? x
Hey queen
If he was so cultured why was he dating a 19 year old lmao but ANYWAY i love your lists you always have great recommendations
My issue is that I get a bookcase, then two months later I've found more books. I can't keep buying book cases. I'm running out of walls to put them against. My daughter says, "you will never read these books, and some of them are out of date and could be misinformation." I say to quote Dr. Evil, "You don't get it....you just don't get it!"
Can I please know where you got the dress/shirt you are wearing?
i wish i could stay as pious to romanticism as you
!!!READ LISPEKTOR!!!
A movie you might like is BEAU IS AFRAID. Look into it.
You should read The Wall by Marlen Haushofer

you're not at all missing out on war and peace. however, if you decide to read it, i'd like to remind about the fact that the country, citizen of which tolstoy was, has grown into what it is by continuously breaking peace in every surrounding and starting wars with other nations for the sake of showing power. we are clearly seeing it while they are bombing ukrainians nowadays and killing their people and their culture. so, any piece of their cultural product definitely should be taken with a lot of criticism and a huge spoonful of salt. your content is beautiful and so atmospheric. thank you for creating your art
