man, is it just me, or have we as humans not really been able to relax in like 20 years? i wake up and every day it feels like the whole fucking world is on the brink of total annihilation

people used to live in small communities and grow their own food and make their own clothes

people were born outside, for god’s sake

and now this country is a fascist militarized police state filled with racist xenophobic psychos who want to kill democracy and any hope of an egalitarian paradise that earth could so easily be

i mean . . . we definitely don’t want to go back to the way the world used to be. it needs to be a different world

but what do you call the world as it is now anything other than hell? it all feels so hopeless

thing is, i don’t want to feel like that at all. i want things to change. it seems like things are changing. just: how do we finally triumph over evil once and for all??

anyway i know i hardcore sound like an aquarius right now so i’m gonna go to sleep lol

「飛べない鳥、飛ばない鳥」

this album is cool

Four years after BREATHLESS, Jean-Luc Godard reimagined the gangster film even more radically with BAND OF OUTSIDERS. In it, two restless young men (Sami Frey and Claude Brasseur) enlist the object of both of their fancies (Anna Karina) to help them commit a robbery—in her own home. This audacious and wildly entertaining French New Wave gem is at once sentimental and insouciant, effervescently romantic and melancholy, and it features some of Godard’s most memorable set pieces, including the headlong race through the Louvre and the unshakably cool Madison dance sequence.

There has never been a face quite like that of Giulietta Masina. Her husband, the legendary Federico Fellini, directs her as Gelsomina in LA STRADA, the film that launched them both to international stardom. Gelsomina is sold by her mother into the employ of Zampanò (Anthony Quinn), a brutal strongman in a traveling circus. When Zampanò encounters an old rival in highwire artist the Fool (Richard Basehart), his fury is provoked to its breaking point. With LA STRADA, Fellini left behind the familiar signposts of Italian neorealism for a poetic fable of love and cruelty, evoking brilliant performances and winning the hearts of audiences and critics worldwide. The Criterion Collection is proud to present LA STRADA, winner of the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film in 1956.
