Pictured are some of my favorite films directed by women. No two are the same, and all of them capture something fundamental and profound about life. Many of these are films from the past few years, but whether I first saw it in 2021 or 1995, they’ve all made an impression. #cloudatlas #thefarewell #blacklake #thepowerofthedog #strangedays #cleofrom5to7 #outragefilm #awayfromher #lilywachowski #lanawachowski #luluwang @badwolffilms #janecampion #kathrynbigelow #agnesvarda #idalupino #sarahpolley #directedbywomen #femalefilmmakers #womenshistorymonth https://www.instagram.com/p/CqG56fQsTqr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We looooooooooove booktuber Perpetual Pages book and television show pairings.....probably because we watch way too much television!! We wanted to highlight the Sense8 and The We City Became pairing.......not an obvious match, and yet so brilliant. Miguel Angel Silvestre (Lito Rodriguez) 100% gives Manny realness. And we think Tina Desai (Kala Dandekar) and Padmini Prakash would become fast friends as they nerd out about science. Check out _@perpetualpages_ for the full pairing list! What Black & Indigenous science fiction/ fantasy pairings would you add to the list? If you haven't read The Great Cities Duology, it is available at your local #library. Also, we have signed copies.

Cloud Atlas (2012)

I'd much rather see an ambitious film than a safe one. If it doesn't all work, Cloud Atlas takes so many risks you have to admire it.

The film is divided into many storylines with key actors playing multiple roles. In one story, Tom Hanks might be a kind reporter, in another a sleazy, money-grubbing apothecary. Hugo Weaving plays a woman overseeing a nursing home and later, a demonic force in a post-apocalyptic future. Halle Berry is seen as a journalist in 1973, an Asian scientist, and an Indian party guest. Everyone plays different genders, ages, and ethnicities in a tale that explores how people’s actions in the past affect those of the future.

Directors Lana Wachowski, Tom Tykwer, and Lilly Wachowski have made a lot of bold moves with this picture. First, it follows dozens of characters and storylines that aren't connected in obvious ways. A book or movie mentioned in one story might be referenced as inspiration for the actions of another character. Blink and often, you’ll miss it. Next, the idea of reincarnation (a complex one) is made visual by having actors and actresses play multiple roles. Often it’s very convincing thanks to extensive makeup. You won't even realize this person played that certain background role until you read the end credits. There are also times when it isn’t quite seamless (It appears to be much easier to make a white person look like they’re from Seoul than a black woman appear white) but I applaud the effort. One of the best stories is set in a post-disaster, post-apocalyptic world. It's clear the language they speak evolved from English so you can catch bits and pieces of what they’re saying and get a sense of what’s going on, but there are no subtitles and no one "translates" for you.

Cloud Atlas is more than a technical curiosity or an experiment. It's a series of compelling stories. Each could’ve been its own movie. Put together like this, they make a symphony that's a joy to make sense of. This is a thinking person’s movie. The way these stories are connected is not obvious. The way they’ll conclude is not predictable and, in some cases do not end happily ever after. It’s long, but that running time allows you to immerse yourself in the story. By the time you get to the end, you’ve forgotten what was at the very beginning, making it feel like a circle of birth and rebirth that needs to be seen multiple times to be truly understood.

I can’t wait to see what filmmakers and storytellers Cloud Atlas will inspire in 15 or 20 years. Who will be inspired by the brave choices in Cloud Atlas, what ideas and techniques will they make their own? It’s a bit uneven. The tone between the retirement home story varies so much from the horrors of future Seoul that you'll suffer from whiplash. If you’re a fan of cinema or just want to see something different, you owe it to yourself to check it out. Even if it ultimately isn’t the type of film you fall in love with, you’ll hold Cloud Atlas close to your heart for the way it goes all-out. (Theatrical version on DVD, February 3, 2017)

Part of me feels like I have been waiting my whole life for you

"I'm here to cry the tears of twenty years!" I declared to my friend Samiah over text as I showed up on opening night.

Without spoiling anything (it was good to go in not knowing the plot), unexpectedly, the main thing I cried about last night was just that it was over, again. That was how Revolutions had felt, this is it, the last one. In the space of waiting to see Resurrections, I felt something that had died in me was alive again. Each minute of watching was sad because it was closer to being over.

But I was surprised how light I felt when I woke up this morning. Freed. Resurrections showed me unexpected possibilities. I feel like there are unexpected possibilities again.

I also felt like Resurrections looked at 1-3, realized what the most important parts were - what this whole story is really about - and took things just a step further, extending the arc. I had felt like 2-3 were telling a different story, but Resurrections drew a curved line that connected them all. I feel like I understand so many moments from the previous movies better and just a little differently. The way you do when you're older, having been through more of what gives weight to a line like, "Part of me feels like I have been waiting my whole life for you."

2021 me knows with my head that these are possibly oversized feelings to have about four movies, but 2002 me, watching The Matrix for the first time on Channel 5, knew with my whole heart that I had found something very special that I was going to love my whole life, and I have.

So thank you, Lana Wachowski, Lilly Wachowski, Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, the Hardline, and everyone who had a part in all of this. Thank you for the love in this world and all it brings to life.
