life during wartime

Enjoyed watching Charlotte Rampling, Paul Reubens, Ally Sheedy, Michael K Williams in Todd Solondz new movie, Life During Wartime. A continuation of sorts of the previous movie Happiness but using different actors to play the characters. Its all about forgiveness and the theme of can you "forgive and forget". Laugh out loud dark humor and great to see surprising performances from the above mentioned actors. Best line from the movie....."I'm sorry I said you were shit and I was champagne."

dzi croquettes

Dzi Croquettes, is an interesting film about a Brazilian gay dance theatre group, also described as an all male Zeigfield Follies. The subject was really interesting and original, the film itself from a technical aspect could have been better. I wish there was more footage on the group performing instead of tons of interview snippets from the same people recounting their experience seeing the group. But considering the Croquettes existed in the early 70's I guess there isn't much actual footage to be found. Its a shame as they were highly creative and original and it would be great to see more of their talent. The guys were incredibly sexy dancers with long lean torsos, thongs, hairy legs and chests and makeup and skirts. They really captured femininity without turning it into a caricature or mockery. At the end of the movie there's a line that goes "gays don't die....they turn into glitter" the whole audience roared with laughter.
