i’d have to see it again.</p>http://fuckyeahexile.tumblr.com/post/39228184859http://fuckyeahexile.tumblr.com/post/39228184859Sun, 30 Dec 2012 13:06:00 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/ad7651e23c587dbb046de55af38d51e7/tumblr_mfuugkDXF01qbz0cko1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Certified Copy</p>http://fuckyeahexile.tumblr.com/post/39226398761http://fuckyeahexile.tumblr.com/post/39226398761Sun, 30 Dec 2012 12:41:08 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/5bc2e8996ac20899cf16ca04e2a41c38/tumblr_mfuoh1KGNc1qbz0cko1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Certified Copy</p> <p>Lots of partial representations through reflections on glass, and a scene with simultaneous translation in which both the translation, and the original text are not exactly easy to parse.</p>http://fuckyeahexile.tumblr.com/post/39218563756http://fuckyeahexile.tumblr.com/post/39218563756Sun, 30 Dec 2012 10:31:49 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/1934b6cfc4fb6c344384aef4f6c3065b/tumblr_mftqyaHLyI1qbz0cko1_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/cdf319400819509e9a3c857ea815b8bc/tumblr_mftqyaHLyI1qbz0cko2_500.png"/><br/> <br/><p>“Certified Copy” by Abbas Kiarostami</p>http://fuckyeahexile.tumblr.com/post/39182840977http://fuckyeahexile.tumblr.com/post/39182840977Sat, 29 Dec 2012 22:27:45 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/01787b9e2f26fff25b565c9043451d3f/tumblr_mft3sj0pRw1qbz0cko2_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/78fc6823c6895480dac128cbe31e0db4/tumblr_mft3sj0pRw1qbz0cko3_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/97b5e34fa9ca219845c13d6b2392420b/tumblr_mft3sj0pRw1qbz0cko4_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/a9b90f9713b4e4b8452cdb0e70bbeb30/tumblr_mft3sj0pRw1qbz0cko5_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/b290b65b34b222d3ff30ac2f3f8118de/tumblr_mft3sj0pRw1qbz0cko6_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/bbd2edf9227649092e42ed7f8f0da41e/tumblr_mft3sj0pRw1qbz0cko7_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/899485e364d4c1c92a32257468fb346b/tumblr_mft3sj0pRw1qbz0cko8_500.png"/><br/> <br/><p>The Makioka Sisters</p> <p>The eventful and the quotidian</p>http://fuckyeahexile.tumblr.com/post/39143971766http://fuckyeahexile.tumblr.com/post/39143971766Sat, 29 Dec 2012 14:07:00 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/3d6d414af5b3bf70fcf6150a7f1d1a2d/tumblr_mft374EGgL1qbz0cko1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>The Makioka Sisters</p>http://fuckyeahexile.tumblr.com/post/39142985922http://fuckyeahexile.tumblr.com/post/39142985922Sat, 29 Dec 2012 13:54:40 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/4b4a564057a9262bf8091d7802758920/tumblr_mft34pNuPK1qbz0cko1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>The Makioka Sisters</p>http://fuckyeahexile.tumblr.com/post/39142879017http://fuckyeahexile.tumblr.com/post/39142879017Sat, 29 Dec 2012 13:53:13 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/ea0a893c7a4841409c0c73c1ca3d6300/tumblr_mft310qoaW1qbz0cko1_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/b158dc0a6703ea56b9cceb1407cecc26/tumblr_mft310qoaW1qbz0cko2_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/757294026a6e90733838cfa12e10875b/tumblr_mft310qoaW1qbz0cko3_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/b88883a51cce91f01cd2b471926379f6/tumblr_mft310qoaW1qbz0cko4_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/53da4b22b299806a0c38f40aeeceae1e/tumblr_mft310qoaW1qbz0cko6_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/ab11dc8a2ea71eab42e587bdbf0aadff/tumblr_mft310qoaW1qbz0cko7_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/05934f44a4c51c18137e9e724f9b7cef/tumblr_mft310qoaW1qbz0cko8_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/370c01b6556361bdf76051c0787ee95a/tumblr_mft310qoaW1qbz0cko9_500.png"/><br/> <br/><p>The Makioka Sisters</p> <p>pillow shots and title screen</p>http://fuckyeahexile.tumblr.com/post/39142740925http://fuckyeahexile.tumblr.com/post/39142740925Sat, 29 Dec 2012 13:50:00 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/9864269c75f7fe04a8ef51c44eb0f5f0/tumblr_mft2qvz6O21qbz0cko1_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/401bd0402341b41dc7495966d78bd5b2/tumblr_mft2qvz6O21qbz0cko2_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/0be1f9f89c4ba6f3457e40f2953f7420/tumblr_mft2qvz6O21qbz0cko3_500.png"/><br/> <br/><p>The Makioka Sisters</p> <p>I liked Ichikawa’s shots of passersby’s glances, the man on the bike, and the couple at the bar. These are brief but dense representations of those furtive moments of peripheral contact, reminders of the worlds outside our own - reminders that interrupt, break into the ordinary, charged with curiosity, with judgment. They are fleeting and unexpected conjunctures playing themselves out in public space. Who are you? What is this?</p> <p>Here are the strangers who attend for a second, who listen to the soundbite, who see a few frames of one of the many scenes in which we articulate our wants, and deficiencies, our senses of self, or the senselessness of our selves — moments of emergent stability, events which may seem to reveal us (to them, and in their eyes, to ourselves), at least partially, as shadowpuppetry perhaps. It is a kind of exposure, maybe, that these shots allude to. Something which can be thrilling, or harrowing… or go altogether unnoticed.</p>http://fuckyeahexile.tumblr.com/post/39142268751http://fuckyeahexile.tumblr.com/post/39142268751Sat, 29 Dec 2012 13:44:00 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/c51767ac00783f125fabb1f0bec254f0/tumblr_mft1zroVrm1qbz0cko1_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/c2abf3aacb92a325be9d79028a4075d8/tumblr_mft1zroVrm1qbz0cko2_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/3ae4a96f759a1c8fd0f7f1876c391dc2/tumblr_mft1zroVrm1qbz0cko3_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/eaf3d5bd1e00d6e3f15f77d0e2f7b729/tumblr_mft1zroVrm1qbz0cko4_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/45660d0900f9b021d6f54692aa47155a/tumblr_mft1zroVrm1qbz0cko5_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/80a36930850652438eaecaec0655e0ca/tumblr_mft1zroVrm1qbz0cko6_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/617e1d21722e3c9ebe8176a12c88f021/tumblr_mft1zroVrm1qbz0cko7_500.png"/><br/> <br/><p>“The Makioka Sisters” by Kon Ichikawa</p> <p>one of my favourite sequences from the movie</p>http://fuckyeahexile.tumblr.com/post/39141078461http://fuckyeahexile.tumblr.com/post/39141078461Sat, 29 Dec 2012 13:28:38 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/5994bece9c05ac90cf786fbc9608691b/tumblr_mft1vfdeB41qbz0cko1_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/43648f41f15c92363aaf76ef21e9f5c7/tumblr_mft1vfdeB41qbz0cko2_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/0e801be94d0f26e4567733c3e19b8bba/tumblr_mft1vfdeB41qbz0cko3_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/b03cff415af8f5cab8fb77a665ecca23/tumblr_mft1vfdeB41qbz0cko4_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/b378f4ac06eee0f04d24ab74a383ed5f/tumblr_mft1vfdeB41qbz0cko5_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/6ea89a532d3da5945bf0fd492659193d/tumblr_mft1vfdeB41qbz0cko6_500.png"/><br/> <br/>http://fuckyeahexile.tumblr.com/post/39140884207http://fuckyeahexile.tumblr.com/post/39140884207Sat, 29 Dec 2012 13:26:02 -0500
