Found Memories

Madalena's Bowl, 2015

This is the bowl Madalena uses when she bakes bread.

Have you heard of the film Found Memories? Watching it felt as if I'd had the luxury of staring at a painting for two hours while imagining life beyond the still image, and eventually entering the scene myself--walking through fragments of landscape, entering the worn architecture of a rural Brazilian village, and slowly meeting its faint ghostlike residents.

    I just watched the trailer and oh, I wish it wasn't so late. I really value your opinion on films, art, books etc...you definitely know how to find the good ones. I absolutely loved "Something, Anything" and now can't wait to watch this one.

    Have you seen the film "In America?" It's one of my favorites. I love it more every time I watch it.

    I shall let you know my review in the morning! :)

      I saw In America in the theater when it came out and liked it. It's been a long time, perhaps I should watch it again.

    That looks beautiful. Your description is how I would explain your blog to a stranger if I only had the words.
