One Battle After Another
Wake Up Dead Man
Great Freedom
Blue Moon
still of Benicio del Toro in PTA's One Battle After Another. he has been stopped on the road by a cop car behind him, and he has his arms above his head as if in a shrug. still of Daniel Craig in Rian Johnson's latest Knives Out. he is in a church and there is a pool of light shining through the window, as if a divine spotlight on him. a medium shot of two men embracing, one, grief-stricken, is clutching at the fabric on the other's back, from Sebastian Meise's Great Freedom a still of Ethan Hawke as Lorenz Hart from Richard Linklater's Blue Moon. he is sitting at the bar. he is very short, balding but hiding it. there's a bottle and glass of whiskey, and a measly bouquet of red carnations on the bar.

had an impromptu breakfast picnic by the river on île d'orléans (delightful) & when we were about to get up, the table toppled over in slow motion, we fell with it, and our coffees fell on us (it was very burlesque)
two croissants, two coffee cups, a small basket of fresh strawberries, and one of blueberries on a picnic table in a park by the St Lawrence river on a sunny day

i think about many scenes from A Question of Silence on a regular basis, but this one in particular
a woman facing a window turns her head to look directly at a taller woman; both women's faces are serious the shorter woman has turned around, and without ever touching the taller woman, uses her hands to trace her silhouette—in the still, her left hand is stopped in front of the taller woman's mouth in the still, the shorter woman's hands are in front of the taller woman's stomach in the still, the shorter woman's hands are in front of the taller woman's thighs
