I wanna go back I wanna go back I wanna go baaaaaaaaaaaack

Oh I love this so much already! Truly a guidebook but it's already a Paris-adoring cinephile's dream. Includes lists of must-watch films (100 each in French and in English) set in Paris.... excuse me while I RUN TO LETTERBOXD!

I'm on a roll here... continuing with the theme of reading eARCs from Netgalley specifically about French cinema!! We love to see it!

Agnes and Jacques making a docu-fiction film (together!!!!!!) about Jacques' childhood while he was literally on his deathbed.................. oh my god

The structure of this is starting to grate on me because it's so much like a textbook but it's just so so interesting that I almost don't mind at all

Such an incredible insight to Varda's work. Definitely wanting to watch Quelques Veuves de Noirmoutier if I can find it, Faces/Places, and Anges par Varda (as far as documentaries/autobiographies go).

47% marks the beginning of the Feature Films section. Lots of moving stuff so far. I'm in awe.

Oh??? My god???? Girl get a grip!!!!!!!!! Jesus!!!

Uhhhhh no thank you

novellas are hard, man..... this keeps giving me whiplash and my eyebrows are in my hairline.

*I think I can, I think I can, I think I can*
I'm actually just chugging along at a snail's pace but ok

Need that gif of Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc saying "It's just dumb! Compels me though" because..... yeah

Will be bringing this with me on my big trip so that I am forced to read it on the plane.......

Strongly considering DNFing this.......... ugh

Trying this again because like okay YEAH is it the worst rated book out of the trilogy? Yes. But do I need to know what happens with Tristan and Libby????? also yes. Sucker for punishment.

Mansfield Park is sitting on the coffee table staring me down as I start yet another reread. In my defence, the audiobook finally became available after a month and a half long waitlist sooooooooooooooo

Round 3... oops?

Round 3 because now I gotta go back and watch for Maya/Hark stuff.

dare I say the audiobook is better................... yeah

Round two but audiobook this time!

Sorry Miss Austen I didn't even make it thru the introduction of Mansfield Park.... I read Adam's POV of the first chapter of this and had to slam on the brakes and switch gears, or whatever

Attempted the audiobook via hoopla but couldn’t stand it, the narrator sounded like Siri.

Picked up the clothbound edition instead and while I’m still on the introduction I’m already captivated.

Audiobook because I'm hoping it will be funny and it was either this or read Funny Story for the third time this year already lol
