DNF @ 65%

I expected this to be a traditional romance--girl who doesn't know her past/has bad upbringing finds love with someone who makes her realise her true potential--and it might have turned out like that in the end...but it was taking so long to get there.

It seemed more about a girl growing up and wanting to find her past than a romance and i got bored. I read for the romance in books and this was very sorely lacking up to the 65% mark.

The pregnancy so early on threw a spanner in the works for me and i struggled from there.

Movie Favorite

"Rossellini is a big master for me. Normally, he’s put in the box of neorealism, but I don’t think he can stay in a box. Even though his movies had incredible scripts and very incredible actors, they were so alive and happening. You always have the feeling that there is something surprising the director, like you can feel him opening up toward life. Stromboli has always been an important film for me because of how it investigates the relationship between man and nature. There is a very tight, traditional structure, but at the same time there are gaps and openings that allow the mystery to come in."
