4 Films I think you’ll like
I am collecting quite the list of films that nourish your mind, spirit and heart, not just entertain you (and waste your attention).
Here are four more I watched recently that I recommend !
Enjoy x
A Different Man
An aspiring actor undergoes a radical medical procedure to drastically transform his appearance, but his new dream face quickly turns into a nightmare. This is an epic exploration of ACCEPTING YOURSELF and owning your shadow. Also how terribly frustrating the laws of life can be: either face your shit it it will came chasing you.
Inside out II
If you loved Inside Out I, watch this. They tenderly and piercingly capture what it is to have a mind-body-nervous system and how the parts try to protect us (for better and for worse). I had a few forehead slap moments where I was like, ohmygod, that’s so me. A wonderful and affirming exhale — you’re not messed up, you’re just a human with many parts.
The Boy and the Heron (netflix)
I love how there are no pure baddies or goodies in Studio Ghibli films. You love and hate a character. You see their flaws and their power. You see the slippery ordinary-craziness of life and also the acceptance of it all. These films are like watching an incredible shamanic journey. That way it’s not just your eyes watching, it’s your soul drinking.
Spellbound (netflix)
What happens when your parents turn out to be monsters? I think we can all relate. This is a great exploration of princess Ellian who must go on a daring quest to find a solution after a mysterious spell transforms her parents, the King and Queen of Lumbria, into monsters.
I watched a wonderful French film on Emirates recently about a man who becomes a step father and the journey he goes on with speaking and up, what it means to be family and love that can’t be broken. I cannot find the name of this film though !!!! I recommend this nameless beauty… If you know the film I’m talking about, please reach out!
