Going into week four I am in a rather irritable mood at the moment. I try to focus on being productive and getting things done. But today, even as I’m going through the motions, my head is mostly in the clouds.
It’s all a little mind-boggling right now. I am not finding words to articulate. Maybe you feel the same way too? What does everyone do to decompress?
I didn’t quite unwind this weekend, but I did catch up on some movies, two of which were pretty big in 2019 when this pandemic would have been considered more science fiction than reality bites.
Ford vs. Ferarri is a fun buddy movie with some good driving scenes. It’s entertaining and Matt Damon does a good job of offsetting Christian Bale’s overstated surliness.
Of course when it comes to serious killer driving action, quite literally, then Nicolas Winding Refn’s Drive is a masterpiece and a must.
We also finally saw Portrait of a Lady on Fire, which I totally lagged on watching but am blown away by its artistry and sophistication. It really is an exquisite film and a gem. And just like that, I feel better again for having seen it.
