A good Monday morning from Paul Mescal and from me and from Oliver Hermanus' gorgeous film The History of Sound, which landed on Mubi over the weekend -- did you watch it? I hope you caught it in theaters if you were able to (picture the above shot twenty feet tall and you'll understand why I swooned in my review) but streaming is second-best (or you can now pre-order the blu-ray too!) so I hope you did. If not -- get to it! Look at that shot! That shot is in the running for shot of the year as far as I'm concerned. I do think the shot is even more beautiful in its full framing and not cropped to highlight just the sweet stuff though -- not to mention there is more to this scene worth giffing -- so I've got all of that gorgeousness for you after the jump...

The clench! Those cheeks!
Oh to be the person assigned to place that blanket.
RIGHT? You know there was a lot of discussion on the exact right spot (and they found it)
Honestly, I don't get the fuss about this actor.
The fuss? You Tube the therapy scene in Episode 8 of "Normal People." You will be in love forever.
The film about 2 gay men was based on a short story by a straight writer. He wrote the script, but the short story only covered the first half of the film. So he had to quickly come up with the plot of the second half. So his solution? Put both gay men in relationships with women. Only a straight man would come up with that.
