Interiors
Woody Allen's Ingemar Bergman film. Meet a bunch of people having White People Problems (This vase doesn't fit in my bedroom! The critics don't understand me!). It's hard to decide which of the characters is most selfcentered, the prize possibly going to the writer, played by Richard Jordan. Are they all annoying to make loud, vulgar Pearl, Maureen Stapleton, the most appealing character in the film? It looks great, though, in muted grey and beige tones, with cinematographer Gordon Willis apparently taking some inspiration from Whistler's paintings. And Woody Allen luckily realized, after this, that you can make a serious film but still put in some jokes.

The truth and the lie
I was watching Margot at The Wedding, by Noah Baumbach, and it was exactly how I had been afraid The Squid and The Whale would be like (but wasn't): Unlikable people yelling and screaming, captured by handheld cameras in unlit rooms, and the film shows the truth of how people act and behave, but why would I want to watch this? At the same time I was reading / looking at the pictures in the third Flash Gordon collection by Titan Books, where Flash Gordon and Dale Arden dont quarrel, don't fuck or get drunk, or even scratch their noses; it's an idealized love affair that has nothing to do with reality. And I know those two things can't really be compared, but I woke up this morning thinking that if I had to choose between the two, between the truth and the lie in things I watch or read, in most cases I'd choose the lie.
