Things that aren't directly connected to BBM and yet are somehow Brokieish
Meryl:
Film director Andrew Haigh is Brokieish.
Last week I saw a screening of his new movie, 45 Years, with Charlotte Rampling and Tom Courtenay. As the movie progressed, I kept getting this feeling of familiarity, though I hadn't seen any of his work. Then I realized this guy has a lot in common with Ang Lee, in that he's very visual and introspective, and often the situation the characters are in is reflected in their surroundings. There are lots of things we Brokies could riff on, believe me. The topper? All through the film, they're emotionally involved in an incident that took place in the Alps 50 years earlier. In the last scene, when the couple is celebrating their 45th anniversary in a rented hall with friends, right there on the wall is a large painting of mountains.
I also learned that Haigh directed what's become an iconic gay movie in 2011: Weekend. I think I'll have to check it out. Meanwhile, I recommend you all check out 45 Years.
