two souls, man and woman. drawn to each other. they want to unite again. it's a creative force. we can use it in our paintings. so i have the man's force and you have the woman's. i seek the man's power and wisdom. and you have the woman's power and warmth, right? do i? you do.
hilma (2022), by lasse hallström.

Hilma af Klint's enigmatic life. The scenes where her wall sized work are displayed are worth a look, it shows how monumental they are. A large screen HD monitor helps.
And there is a scene where Edvard Munch invites Klint and her friends to an exhibition of his work, which she attended, though they were very likely aware of each other, there is no documentation of such an meeting. The filmmakers took some artistic liberties with a few other things, like her sexuality. There are no letters or diaries that suggest she was a lesbian.

1, 8 and 45 for the book asks please 📚
hello! (book asks here if u like)
Name the best book you've read so far this year.
probably the hilma af klint biography! it's just incredibly well-researched and a great example of how to write about a subject for whom you have copious information but only about very specific parts of their life (in af klint's case, relating to her art and relationships with spirits, but nothing else). it's also so respectful of her sexuality. i feel like a lot of newer biographies of queer people from history spend too much time trying to pigeonhole their subject into a recognizable modern label which would have meant nothing to the person or that they chose not to use (looking at you mark dery, author of the edward gorey biography), and this one does not do that, but it doesn't ignore that part of her life either. good book.
8. Favorite queer fiction book(s).
once again i am so very bad at favourites. right now i'll say it's becky chambers' monk & robot series. it's about a queer character, but so much of chambers' fiction strikes me as being distinctly queer in the way she imagines the world and chooses to depict the future. and they're wonderful.
45. What book(s) would you sell your soul to get a TV or movie adaptation of?
most things i would sell my soul to NEVER see film adaptations of lol. but i would love to see a rivers of london series done well. i would love to see golden age mystery writers other than agatha christie adapted for the screen. give me a series based on josephine tey's alan grant, but he has to be gay. since kenny b has proven that people will go to the movies to see his atrocious poirots, make films of georgette heyer's country house mysteries instead. they're full of rich people being awful to each other, viewers LOVE that

to constantly discover and learn, i've realized, is what keeps me afloat. at this point i could become a professor. a professor of my own interests and how to study them. i do it every day. i can't help myself. a question will pop into my mind and i'll have to find some answer. it doesn't have to be a full answer, or even an answer at all, as long as it's a step closer towards one. today i studied remedios varo, i studied the voice, i tried to understand how to use the arturia fx plugins that i bought over black friday. i studied meme writing, i studied writing in general. so much to study, so little time. i studied bjork, i studied rosalia, i studied sampha, i resisted the impulse to study frank ocean for the billionth time but i'm sure the impulse will win soon enough. i studied fashion, specifically the simplicity of carolyn bessette-kennedy, as well as old french dolls and their attire. i've been thinking about the devil wears prada and anne hathaway and nicole kidman and then i accidentally began to watch a movie nicole kidman stars in. it's called "genius" (the movie.) i quite like it so far. i also studied live performance and thought about how i could improve.
it's imperative that i let things happen as they come to me. it's my nature. that's also something i thought about today, nature and how it ties to artistic expression. nature and psychic ability; their impact on artistic expression is less talked about in regards to music and musicians. and if they are, i often find that it's done in a half-hearted non real way. the "nature musicians" don't see beyond the flower. they don't even pick it apart, they just say "flower" and get on with the song. then it's the psychics. it takes a psychic to know a psychic, and a lot of these people are novice at best or ultimately completely fake. the better word is intuitive, but i'm convinced we must re-wire society to rid itself of the prejudice against the word and concept of being psychic. the real intuitives rarely talk about the experience at all. it comes through their art though. people like hilma af klint, remedios varo, even bjork and frank ocean are all psychic. they have it. the secret to art is the mysticism behind it. art is alchemy. especially music. music is not physical. even more-so nowadays because music can be completely made on a computer. the voice isn't physical. it just spews out sound-notes and takes on a form that tugs at something (also non-physical) within us. i'm thinking a lot about arca. i wonder if she's wrestled with any of this. i wonder if anyone has.

Movies I watched this Week #106 (Week 2 of year 3):
“Three great abstract artists died in 1944: Wassily Kandinsky, Piet Mondrian and Hilma von Klint”.
Even though it’s only the second week of January, I already discovered one of my favorite documentaries of 2023: Beyond The Visible - Hilma af Klint. Like Vivian Maier, Hilma was a female genius who lived in obscurity her whole life and left behind a body of work that equals and surpasses most of her contemporaries. Discovered 70 years after her death, she is now considered perhaps Sweden’s most important artist - ever. This astounding biography details her groundbreaking legacy, as well as her extraordinary life. The first abstract artist of the modern area, all her 2,500 painting and voluminous notebooks of 250,000 pages miraculously remained intact. She was also a mystic, a spiritualist, a feminist and a vegetarian. Until our age, history was busy erasing all traces of female participation from its re-telling. Hers is one happy reversal.(Slideshow Above).
I saw an exhibition of her large canvases at the Tel Aviv Museum in 2019 and they were awe-inspiring. 10/10. 
🍿
High maintenance, another biographical documentary. About the great Israeli sculptor and environmental artist Dani Karavan, known for his large site-specific monuments. It followed him around before his death at 90, as he travels to some European locations of his earlier, magnificent memorials, and as he re-assess his art. An uncompromising and head-strong artist with angry political views who had no patience for fools or fascists. He was also dealing with declining acuity and memory loss during that time. With Wim Wenders. The opening scene. 7/10.
🍿
Hit the road, an unforgettable Iranian road movie written and directed by Panah Panahi, Jafar Panahi’s son, in his feature debut. There are four people driving, but we don’t know who they are or where they are going and why. One of them is a precarious six-year old, the driver does not speak much, and the parents behave strangely. Slowly we discover more about them, but the background story goes unexplained.
It’s best to watch this without knowing more. By the heartbreaking end we are completely captivated. The trailer discloses too much.
The acting of the little boy is probably one of the best child acting I’ve ever seen. 9/10 - Best film of the week.
🍿 
"...Even with my eyes wide open, I can't see anything..."
Zaitochi is a traveling blind swordsman, one of Japan’s longest film series. The Blind Swordsman: Zatoichi (2003) is my first Zaitochi film, and my third by actor-director Takeshi Kitano. A tribute to the Samurai films of the 60′s, it is full of rivers of blood spraying all over whenever somebody is stabbed and killed, which is all the time. Also, including a subplot of a cross-dressing, maybe trans, geisha. It ends with a joyful and lengthy community tap dancing party.
🍿
First watch: “Tony, do you ever think about death? - Fuck off!”
The coming of age British Billy Elliot about an 11-year-old coal miner’s son who discovers that he loves ballet. A period piece about class, grief & masculinity. The boy who play Billy was wonderful. 9/10.
🍿
Another first watch: Before Sunrise, the first part of Richard Linklater’s ‘Before Trilogy’. A romantic story of two young people who meet on a train bound for Vienna. An interesting, minimalist concept that I didn’t love, because I couldn’t feel the connection between immature cynic Ethan Hawke and stereotypical-‘sweet’ French blond Julie Delpy. I wish they were played by other people. I will watch an updated version of this with more persuasive actors. Should I watch the other two parts?
🍿
2 by Zhang Yimou:
🍿 Raise the red lantern, the epic saga from the Chinese Warlord Era, tells a tragic story of a young ‘fourth Mistress’ to a very wealthy patriarch. The magnificent Gong Li and the other three concubines cannot leave the palace. They must wait each in their own opulent quarters until the master of the house (whose face is never seen) calls on the one he chooses to spend the night with. Restrained, tradition-bound and transgressive. 8/10. 
🍿 So I wanted to revisit a couple more of Yimou’s masterpieces, ‘Red Sorghum’, or ‘Qiu Ju’ or ‘To live’. Unfortunately, I picked instead his first English-language film The Great Wall, thinking, well, it was co-written by Tony Gilroy, it co-starred Andy Lau and Willem Dafoe, it was the most expensive Chinese movie ever produced, Etc. But it was a horrible disappointment. It’s a weak cartoon fantasy for young males about two mercenary amigos fighting an army of millions CGI alien monsters. Part of the trend to create spectacular Hollywood blockbusters which cater to the Chinese marketplace, the movie made $335 million and still lost money. 1/10 piece of shit. That’s why I don’t like and don’t watch special effect action movies.
🍿
2 by Ernst Lubitsch:
🍿 “Pure hooey!…”
Design for Living, a pre-code screwball comedy about - let’s face it - an explicit a ménage à trois between bohemian Gary Cooper, Fredric March, and Miriam Hopkins. That Hopkins was a modern, open-minded woman who wants to love and have sex with both men was a rarity and a delight.
🍿 His classic romantic comedy The shop around the corner, the original concept used later in ‘You’ve got mail’. It’s interesting how much appeal was there in Hollywood of that time to wax nostalgic about Austro-Hungarian life, and the reverence toward the class of the shopkeeper, aka, business owner .
🍿
Miss April ("Fröken April”), a lighter-than-air Swedish comedy from 1958 directed not by Ingmar Bergman but by one Göran Gentele. It features some venerable actors like Jan Kulle, Per Oscarsson and especially Gunnar Björnstrand who stars as an aristocratic, stuffy older banker (who, let’s face it, never “been in love” i.e. “never had sex”) and who falls for a cute, young ballet dancer. Silly & childish, and as enjoyable as a trip down memory lane to a sunny world that doesn’t exist any more. 7/10.
🍿 
2 with Gregory Peck, Robert Mitchum and Martin Balsam:
🍿 The original Hitchcockian 1962 Cape fear, with a sinister score by Bernard Herrmann. An uncomfortable story of threat and terror. The word “rape” and the act itself were not explicitly seen, but strongly felt as the middle class fear that a crazed psychotic sexual stalker is coming for our young daughters. 5/10.
🍿 Rabid Martin Scorsese made the 1991 Cape Fear remake more menacing, his buff, tattooed rapist Max Cady more maniacal and the whole story much more sadistic. The best element for me was the re-done score, and the anti-lawyers message. 4/10.
🍿
Assholes: A Theory, a Canadian documentary film, based on a book by professor of philosophy Aaron James. An asshole "allows himself to enjoy special advantages in social relations out of an entrenched sense of entitlement that immunizes him against the complaints of other people." Even though it was made in 2019, and touched upon many political, sociological & psychological trends, it didn’t mention even once the biggest asshole of them all.
🍿
The Matador, an unconvincing crime thriller starring Pierce Brosnan and Greg Kinnear. An unlikely friendship between two vastly different men, a milquetoast middle-class salesman and a burnt-out assassin who meet at a hotel bar in Mexico City. A male fantasy of what a life of a contract hit man is. 4/10.
🍿
4 Vimeo-type Shorts:
🍿 In Ruby, an elderly Irish couple, Len and Ruby, celebrate their 40th anniversary. Len has a history of of odd and outlandish gifts. Ruby hopes that this year will be different and that he'll arrange something "nice and normal".
🍿Sister, a different, Oscar-Nominated Stop-Motion Animation by young Chinese director Siqi Song. About being a single child. The figures are made out of wool.
🍿 “If Tuvsho was a superhero, this would be her origin story." I Am Tuvsho, a short Mongolian documentary about a female sumo wrestler.
🍿 School Portrait, Directed by Nick Scott, about a school photographer in a bad mood.
🍿
Bobcat Goldthwait’s satirical indie World's Greatest Dad started well but ended in a mess. Robin Williams is an amateur novelist with a rotten teenager son. But then this sex-obsessed, nasty kid auto-asphyxiate while masturbating, and father covers it up as a ‘regular’ suicide. What a perverted premise. Too bad it didn’t work. 3/10
🍿
After discovering Coraline last week, I decided to watch the parody of it on The Simpsons’ Treehouse of Horror XXVIII (29S 4E). Somehow edgy (because of Halloween?...). Including similar parodies of The Exorcist, Sausage party, and self-cannibalism trops. Alrighty then!
🍿  
Throw-back to the art project:
Chinese princess (还珠格格 HuanZhuGeGe) Adora
