Annette (dir. Carax)...Adam Driver, Marion Cotillard...Sparks!

Edgar Wright's commentary on the soundtrack album reckons it's ambiguous. As an aside, he says Sparks were disappointed how well-received Queen's subsequent forays into chamber-pop was compared to their own.

anybody want to buy an annette bathrobe? i have two.

I mean they are specifically described as children (offspring) so I don’t see the ambiguity. I guess the kids could be having sex? Maybe with a dog? Is that the theory? Is this a bit?

I do love it, one of my very favourite of theirs

Annette was fine

This was annoying as hell, but I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since I watched it the other day.

otm

Saw Holy Motors again for the first time in a while. It is fun to watch, but it still doesn't make much sense to me. There may be a lot to it, but I haven't gotten beyond its general appreciation for 'acting'

i understand why ppl find this movie incredibly annoying but idk i'm into it

Wisdom

not a fan but this film is a hundred times less annoying than holy motors

Pretty cool:
