Significant Others: Spotlight on Classic Films
Six films spanning sixty years. Watch desire overflow from the canon, breaking through moral defenses, whether in brightness or darkness, survival or destruction. Truffaut’s Antoine and Colette (Summer Love) stands as a classic love triangle in film history—two men and one woman entangled with each other, running with abandon. Flowers of Shanghai is soaked in decadent passion, where lust intertwines, and loss merges with poetry. A Snake of June is equally drenched—torrential rain soaks both love and fear, saturating them with madness until liberation is born. The body, too, can mutate from obsession: human and machine hybridize in Tetsuo: The Iron Man, as in Crash and Titane—ecstasy arriving with impact, addiction following pleasure. Whether among many, or bound to objects, love takes many forms—it need not be the same.

Those irreversible slices of life
Recently, in a novel I've come to love, I found myself grasping the weight of life's slices. In the story, there is a wicked sorcerer who freezes people in the instant just before tragedy strikes—suspending everything, sealing it into a crystal ball, and building an entire museum from these frozen moments. And isn't film, in its own way, just as cruel? As viewers, we are little more than instruments for collecting tissue slices—slipping into a character's world for a single fleeting moment, wandering through it in passing, only to return, in the blink of an eye, to the reality that is our own.
