Everything You Ever Need To Know About Life...

 ... you can learn from:

Anatomy of a Fall (2023)

Sandra: Somebody said of course 
money doesn't make you happy, 
but it's still better to cry in a car than in a subway.

This moment in the film is one of my favorites -- a desperately needed moment of levity amid an endless barrage of dire straits, landing as it does in the middle of a very serious scene. Everybody rightly fell for the relationship between Sandra Hüller's character and the dreamy layer with the dreamy hair played by Swann Arlaud and this (and the scene preceding it) are probably the reasons why. Such wonderful chemistry those two had! I hope they work together again. Anyway -- this exquisite movie is out on Criterion blu today! Go buy it and watch it twice. What a film.
