SUBLIME CINEMA #414 - THE CONSTANT GARDENER

A bleak and evocative vision of Africa as seen through two westerners who ultimately are unable to penetrate its labyrinth. I love the cinematography here by Uruguayan great Cesar Charlone and suggestive direction by City of God director Fernando Meirelles.

Loneliness has followed me my whole life, everywhere. In bars, in cars, sidewalks, stores, everywhere. There's no escape. I'm God's lonely man.

Before Sunrise (1995) dir. Richard Linklater

Uncle Yanco [1967] dir. by Agnes Varda

The poster for Kristen Stewart’s upcoming movie, Spencer, lowkey reminds me of a cover you’d find on a YA novel.
