Louis Garrel <3
C'est l'histoire d'un homme qui tombe d'un immeuble de cinquante étages. Le mec, au fur et à mesure de sa chute se répète sans cesse pour se rassurer : jusqu'ici tout va bien, jusqu'ici tout va bien, jusqu'ici tout va bien. L' important c'est pas la chute, c'est l'atterrisage.
- La Haine, 1995.

Most aesthetically pleasing movies I watched recently
1. Macbeth (2015)
The red/ orange colour theme in this is phenomenal for visualizing his inner demons. The blood he shed and will shed is literally visible everywhere.
2. Sleeping Beauty (1959)
Sleeping beauty has to be the most beautiful Disney movie ever made. Check out "Awaking Beauty" by Eyvind Earl if you are interested in the artwork
3. Portrait of a lady on fire (2019)
A must watch for everyone who adores art and period dramas. The soundtrack is phenomenal too!
Movies that will make you fall in love with classical music
1. Amadeus
"This was a music I'd never heard. Filled with such longing, such unfulfillable longing. It seemed to me that I was hearing the voice of God.”
I can't put into words how amazing this movie is. If you haven't watched it already go and see it. It will teach you more about the transcendental power of music in than almost everything.
2. All the mornings of the world
“So, you’ve discovered that music is not for kings,” Sainte-Colombe says. “Yes,” Marais responds, “I discovered that it’s for God.”
This french film tells us about the healing power of music and it's ability to speak where words fail : "When I first saw Tous les matins du monde in a theater, I remember looking around me when the movie ended, and seeing the entire audience in tears. I have no idea if any of what happened in Tous les matins du monde is true, but on the subject of music, its truth is unshakable."
3. The Pianist
A heartbreaking and highly regarded Film about the jewish Pianists Władysław Szpilman's real life and suffering during the 2nd World war.
4. A late quartet
"Time present and time past are both perhaps present in time future, and time future contained in time past. If all time is eternally present, all time is unredeemable."
A movie about the difficulties a musical ensemble faces as their Violinist is diagnosed with Parkinson: a sickness that slowly takes away his motion control.
5. Impromptu
A young Hugh Grant plays great composer and Pianist Chopin: the Film focuses on the love story between young Frederic and George Sand.
6. Immortal Beloved
"It is the power of music to carry one directly into the mental state of the composer. The listener has no choice. It is like hypnotism"
This movie is too beautiful to put into words. Please watch it and i promise you will be moved to tears: it tells the tragic life story of the great composer Ludwig van Beethoven and his failed attempts to find true love and meaning
7. The Soloist
This movie is based on the true story of a Journalist helping a sick musician to find his place in the music world again: The plot is based on the story of Nathaniel Ayers, a musician who developed schizophrenia and became homeless.
