Last movie you've watched

[lavieenrose]

Have you ever loved liked heard a Carpenters song (you probably have and just didn't realize it)? Do you have a predilection for psychodramas? Are you interested in 70s kitsch? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then man, do I have a movie for you. It's incredibly disturbing but, at least I thought, really affecting. Some things in the style of the film gave me shivers.

Spoilers for the film below

The choice to have someone who had a grotesquely tragic battle with anorexia (in a film about this no less) be represented by Barbie seems like it'd be really tasteless, and it is. But, and I'd say as a result of this tastelessness rather than despite it, the film portrays Karen in a compassionate, careful, complex way. Her family actually got super mad about the film (which I'd actually say portrays them with similar complexity and compassion) and had all copies (except one held by a museum in New York) destroyed due to a lawsuit. Only recently has the film started to resurface.

Interestingly, the film was directed by Todd Haynes, who recently directed the critical smash Carol.

I tried to watch the live action of beauty and the beast today, but I stopped half an hour in...it's not that its bad, it's that I just love the animated movie too much I couldn't connect with the actors.
