and I’m starting to feel anxious. I gave my teacher 3 movies of the Polish brothers to watch : Northfork, Twin falls Idaho, and For Lovers Only.
I’m not anxious to write my thesis, it’s not gonna be easy, but it’s gonna be okay. I’m feeling anxious because I gave my teacher FLO to watch. I know it’s completely stupid to feel that way, but this movie had such an impact on me - I’m still trying to figure out why - that I feel a little bit of an intrusion. It’s stupid because it’s me who gave it to my teacher to watch. But I guess, since FLO is about intimacy, about love, I feel vulnerable to how it mirrors on me, to what it tells about me that I chose this subject for my thesis.
I know the jury will not be nice about it. I mean, you can tell I’m a helpless romantic, and that makes me a little candid too.
But at least I have this for me : in France maybe 10 people in the motion picture industry know about the Polish brothers, so it’s a good thing for me since this is a new territory to explore.
It was that subject or “The typography in the movies” or “The sense of humor in the british comedy”. Two subjects that I’d love to write about once day.
