Pinocchio di Guillermo del Toro

Chicken Parmesan. Boy, am I full. No intermission sweets today. Pinocchio di Guillermo del Toro, anche noto semplicemente come Pinocchio, è un film d'animazione del 2022 diretto da Guillermo del Toro e Mark Gustafson.  

The Banshees of Inisherin

Lasagna. Intermission was a treat; coffee and a piece of chocolate covered toffee. The Banshees of Inisherin, 2022, written, co-produced and directed by Martin McDonagh, starring Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson and Kerry Condon.

Fanny and Alexander

I stopped at Noodles & Company and picked up an order of penne pasta in tomato cream sauce with sautéed vegetables and grilled chicken. Very tasty. Too much food. Fanny and Alexander, 1982, written and directed by Ingmar Bergman. I watched the 312-minute version, originally presented in five parts on Swedish television. Maybe it's just a coincidence, but like Everything Everywhere All At Once, this film addresses the theme of family reunification. And there is a degree of magic and the fantastic in both. Beyond that, they are very different films.  

Everything Everywhere All At Once

Pasta with basil pesto. Everything Everywhere All At Once, written and directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, starring Michelle Yeoh.

Darling

Lasagna. Darling, 1965, directed by John Schlesinger, starring Julie Christie.
