Tonight Chale and AFS brought us Peter Greenway's THE FALLS a most unusual film about an apocalyptic event that has devastated Great Britain. The title stands for the last names of 92 victims whose names begin with F-A-L-L. The writing is clever, the facts about the victims are bizarre, they speak unknown made up languages, they have physical conditions that can make you laugh and cry and after 46 names and vignettes we were bleary eyed. Abe found it boring and I found it clever. We left but enjoyed this really cool home decor place that serves wine, beer and snacks. And the owner is a transplanted Brooklynite who managed Sweet Melissa, a cafe across the street from the Cobble Hill theater in Brooklyn. I love those connections between Austin and Brooklyn.
This afternoon Judith and I ate at Madeleine's and shopped and most importantly shared intelligent conversation about our lives freely and comfortably. It was a post bd celebration from Judith. What a fine day!
