Bang Gang: A Modern Love Story, Eva Husson, 2015

Mothering Sunday bietet Lust und Verlust, schon wieder eine beherzt nichtlineare (und zudem unzuverlässige) Erzählstruktur, surreale kleine Aussetzer (im Bild), nach dreißig Jahren Filmpause noch einmal Glenda Jackson, gemessen am literaturverfilmungsüblichen Herumgedüdel schön eigenwillige Musik, zauberhafte Kostüme "auch wenn diese in wichtigen Szenen des Films überhaupt nicht zu sehen sind", schreibt ein unbedingt zu lobender Wikipedia-Beitragschreiber, Josh O'Connor ohne diese, durchaus erfreulich, Englishness, Standesdünkel, dienstbotenspezifische Kunst der Beobachtung und die üblichen Verdächtigen. Ärgerlich nur, daß die Verleger einen Thriller erwartet haben.

U-NEXTでエヴァ・ユッソン『帰らない日曜日』観た。

原作は読了済み、映画は概ね原作通りで満足。

原作は主人公のジェーンがマザリング・サンデーで考えたことを通じて作家になる必然性がページを読み進めるごとに確信していくのすごいなーと思っていて、映画はその感覚を大事にしつつジェーンの人生を上手く点と線で繋いでいてドラマに満足感がありとても良かった。

魅力あるジェーンを演じたオデッサ・ヤングが素晴らしいのはもちろん、彼女の秘密の恋人で名家の息子ポールを演じたジョシュ・オコナーが単純なハンサムさを封じ込めた名家の「ふつうの人」のリアルさやナイーブさを表現していて本当に凄かった…羊ちゃんとてもいい役者さんだなあ。

“Ma and Pa owned the head and the body, and Dick, Freddy, and I had a leg each.” / “What about the fourth leg?” / “Ah, the fourth leg! That was always the question, Jane.” / “The fourth leg was mine, Paul.”

EMMA D'ARCY AS EMMA HOBDAY Mothering Sunday | Dir. Eva Husson

hi rachel do you ever listen to religious music?

Hello! I love Samuel Barber's Agnus Dei, Callas' German Ave Maria, Husson's Miserere, and Hildegard von Bingen - mostly Voice of the Blood. Kyrie Eleison, Emmanuel. Rebecca Gorzynska's Apostle's Creed and Eric Whiteacre's Lux Aurumque are gorgeous. Gorecki's Cantablile Semplice makes me cry at the 8:20 minute mark.

Johnny Cash, CJ Johnson, Bloody Samaritan, Let Go. I really, really dislike Hillsong, but really like Shalom Margaret's remix of Oceans.

Contemporary songs that make me think about God: Fields of Gold (Eva Cassidy cover), Clarissas Tod, Max Richter's Spring 1, Wonder by Soap&Skin (lol), St. Jude by Florence + the Machine, Fall at Your Feet (Boy & Bear cover), Mystery of Love by Sufjan Stevens. This Purity Ring remix. Her & the Sea by Clann.
