September means shorter days, darker evenings, colder mornings... It's time to prepare for autumn and take the warm sweaters out of the wardrobe. And get ready to spend lots of time on - at least in my case - reading books and watching movies!
This year I started this second activity quite early (have I ever stopped that at all? ;) I can't live without good movies!), probably because when we came back from our holiday, there were so many movies I wanted to see...
The day before yesterday I saw (500) Days of Summer - a really nice comedy, which I heard about during this year's Sundance Film Festival, an event where independent American movies have their time.
I must say I really liked it, although there was no typical happy-ending. The truth is sometimes bitter, but it's good to see a piece of a real life for a change, instead of sweet, unreal stories. Or maybe I am wrong? Well, that's only my choice I guess, but I warmly recommed this movie.
And yesterday I watched Broken Embraces, a new movie by Pedro Almodóvar, with - as usually fantastic - Penelope Cruz. This was a typical Almodóvar piece of art, with hot blooded Spanish women, mysteries and funny situations. Actually I think that this one was maybe less funny. There was more of a complex story in it, with many characters involved, with different points of view, emotions and desires. There were no good or bad ones in this movie, no clear answers to all the questions. Of course it was worth seeing.
