YESTERDAY GIRL
It's nice to know I was on some kind of binge a little over 2 years ago. I remember watching a lot of European movies around that time - probably my most prolific period since I was in my late teens. I miss watching/enjoying movies.
I've wanted to watch this movie again, but I'm afraid of it not being as enjoyable as it once was. Then again, nothing has been enjoyable for me, so I'll avoid that. Maybe. But it's nice to see the "evolution" from one comment made long ago, to the present as I "annotate" in my head. It helps to have "Moonlight Serenada" on in the background. One of a handful of jazz songs I could listen to every day. I'm guessing it has something to do with the title of "Moonlight Sonata".
How about them yesterday girls, eh?

Wow. I've been on an Eastern European binge, and was a little surprised that I stumbled upon one in German, but it caught my attention quickly. It's considered avant-garde experimental, stylish, art-house, but don't let this push you away. It's also a great story, one I've never seen in a movie, a character who is a kleptomaniac (which you find out in the first 20 seconds), but it's just so great, and she's great. She wrote, directed, AND starred. For some reason I thought of Vincent Gallo and "Buffalo '66" and then I just find out she also did everything herself, like he did. I also found out that they both never made any other movies that were given any attention, but I'll look.Both movies are also very good, without being pretentious, no waste. I hate when the counter-criticism of watching paint dry is defended as "artsy".
Oops. Her brother is Alexander. She is Alexandra. Damn, that changes so much.
