Mundane shades of pink
Anatomy of a Fall.
I watched this Oscar nominated movie with
and we spent an hour discussing all the symbols in the movie. (We are geeks for symbols.) The movie is a legal thriller drama set in a chalet in the French Alps, where lead character Sandra is indicted and put on trial for her husband’s death. The only witness is their 11-year-old son.It’s an interesting examination of couple dynamics and competition between artists, but also what it means to examine a story. Whose story is valid? And how does a well told story serve to incriminate or exonerate?
And since Nat keeps up on TikTok trends, we also discussed the excessive amount of videos that have popped up debating the lawyer character’s hotness. Many are smitten.
My aforementioned sweater from last week’s post, which brings me to…shades of pink.
Anecdotes.
We spoke to
for an upcoming podcast interview about her new book. Anecdotes, she says, is a form of resistance to all the people who told her her stories were too small. So she goes super small in this book. Mini. On purpose.She writes a story about a girl who puts a maxi-pad on her bedroom wall as decoration—that’s a story. A story about kids chanting to help get a woman off a bus. That’s a story too. In fact, all the little incidents of her childhood—all stories! Amen, sister. I’m really into the small, the mundane. It tends to be women who champion such stories, valuing the conversations in the kitchen as much as large action in the Marvel timelines.
