On a totally different note: I have been again surprised by a movie. Brodeuses (Perlenstickerinnen) is a beautiful piece of cinematography and script interpretation by the camera under the helm of Éléonore Faucher as director of this french movie.
Claire, a 17-year old, is pregnant. She cuts the relationship with her parents, and moves into the city, her only bond being her younger brother Thomas. She covers up her feelings under the veil of angriness, her growing belly under several layers of vests and jackets. She is decided not to keep the baby but give it to adoption. Her only bright moments are the hours spent with embroidery... but that is not what the film is about...
It is about patterns in our lifes which we embroid. It is about the patterns we create and fill with happiness, beauty and love or even sadness, truth and pain. What is the pattern you are working on right now?
