... you can learn from:
The Sisters Brothers (2018)
John Morris: I left my family out of hatred and that my father was the person I despised most in this world. I despised everything about him. I sincerely thought I had been freed of all that until tonight. Listening to you, what do I realize? That most of the things that I thought I'd been doing these past years, freely the opinions that I thought I had of my own volition were in fact dictated by my hatred towards that man. I'm 35 years old and my life is like an empty cylinder.
Happy 5 to this, one of my favorite movies of recent years! Jacques Audiard has made several very very very fine films (A Prophet and Dheepan and Rust and Bone, oh my!) but this one's probably always going to be my favorite -- but then it's not playing fair, having a cast I love as much as I love as this one, and seeing Jake Gyllenhaal and Riz Ahmed (as Kermit Hermann Warm!) fall in love (yes this movie is a romance).
So do yourselves a favor and watch this movie as double-feature with Kelly Richard's First Cow this weekend -- that will make for a perfect, exquisite night. I promise. (Not to mention that it will definitely prepare you for Pedro Almodovar's Strange Way of Life, which I saw last night and which belongs riding right astride this two.)

I adored this film. And *no-one* else seems to have watched it. Thanks for featuring it.
