As we are graced with 15 hours of daylight this time of year in the Pacific North West, festival season is in full swing. Vancouver is a city that harbors whimsical summer fun and I am feeling ever so grateful to live here. Happy 125th birthday Vancouver. I am riding the high from being surrounded by inspiring music, films, and people in a city that you can swim in the ocean and climb a mountain, hike pristine forests, and eat amazing organic food all in the same day.
One of the films that impressed me the most this month was Mike Mill’s ‘Beginners’. Ewan McGregor and Mélanie Laurent rocked the screen in a well told story with enough subtle humor to have kept me giggling throughout the film while striking enough of an emotional cord, a necessary element for me to give a film praise. Sweet story, sweet film making. I especially was impressed that the dogs thoughts were subtitled. I really loved this film.
‘Submarine’ by Richard Ayoade is a coming of age film humorously presented with depth, whit and enough of a twist that I loved as well.
Wishing you summer bliss and creative fulfillment.
Ahhhhh summer bliss and creative fulfillment. With record heat sweeping the US especially in Dallas, TX, one wonders can there be thought-provocation that is fulfilling. Of course! The sun’s heated sweet kiss extracts our best service, self, and communal conversation. Tea and conversation catapults us into a elevated state of kindness, care, and offering.
