		Right now Miu Miu gives us six Women’s Tales shorts to choose from. Each very different, compelling, always looking good.
№ 1	|	The Powder Room by Zoe Cassavetes (American), known for Broken English. Secluded. Codified.
№ 2	|	Muta by Lucrecia Martel (Argentinian). Surreal mute transformations. Eerie.
№ 3	|	The Woman Dress by Giada Colagrande (Italian). Ultimate change into desired.
№ 4	|	It’s Getting Late by Massy Tadjedin (Iranian-American). Getting ready to converge.
№ 5	|	The Door by Ava DuVernay, the “first African-American woman to win the Best Director Prize at Sundance Film Festival.” Smooth.
№ 6	|	Le Donne della Vucciria by Hiam Abbass (Palestinian). Vibrant “dolls” intoxicate with life.

Shared it elsewhere, but this is just too cute to pass up!

Inspired by François Truffaut’s “Jules et Jim” falling for Catherine 1962 cool.

Movies | Zabriskie Point finale

What a lame plot, if that’s what that was. Dialog – not much better. But. Exquisite cinematography. About one hour forty-six minutes into it, also, a piece that morphs with the soundtrack so well that I would pay to stage it at any contemporary space worth its existence. This is Michelangelo Antonioni’s “Zabriskie Point” | Cinematography Alfino Contini | Music Pink Floyd “Come In Number 51, Your Time is Up” where it matters ~1:53

At Home | Humidify!

Supposedly cold and flu viruses like dry air better…  Proper humidity eases coughing  Humidity is good for the skin and relieves those chapped lips Wooden floors and furniture, and wall paper fair better than in dry air  Air feels warmer when not cold and dry  Lowers static electricity  Less frizzy hair, less tousled clothes and less of those mini-electric shocks  Alleviates snoring  Soothed, less dry, lubricated mucous membranes in the nose and throat  Prevents nose bleeds  Can ease asthma but check with your doctor Reduced dust  Recommended humidity levels: 30-50%  Remember: Humidity levels kept too high can also make things worse – think mold or mildew; keep the humidifier clean; cold humidifies may keep multiplication of bacteria and fungi more at bay than hot ones SOURCES: EXAMINER | FITSUGAR | LIVESTRONG | MAYO CLINIC
