I finally watched THE BITTER TEARS OF PETRA VON KANT. Since I feel like I've been a total Von Cunt lately (actually for the past few years) I wasn't surprised at seeing myself in Petra, and I wasn't as torn apart by this as I was by Ingmar Bergman's AUTUMN SONATA. To this day I'm a little frightened of watching more Bergman because Autumn Sonata sent me into such a depression.
I was also reminded of WATER DROPS ON BURNING ROCKS, which is an adaptation of a Fassbinder play. All three of these movies are character based and take place in a single setting, like stage-plays often do.
Now it's back to work...but FEAR EATS THE SOUL sits on the table over there...taunting me..."You wanna play dirty?"
Oh and I also cried during the season premiere of Ugly Betty...sooooooooooo...
