Movie #58: L’Auberge Espagnole. We thought we’d cheer ourselves up during our house arrest by watching the trilogy by Cedric Klapisch starring Romain Duris: The Spanish Apartment, Russian Dolls, and Chinese Puzzle.

We fell asleep.

Movie #59: The Immigrant by James Gray, starring Marion Cotillard, Joaquin Phoenix, Jeremy Renner. A full review coming up. Warning: Do not watch this movie while recuperating from an illness, it’s intense. As always, Joaquin is terrifyingly good.

First movie we saw in the cinema post-virus: The Edge of Tomorrow starring Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt, written by Christopher McQuarrie et al and directed by Doug Liman. We love it but related to Tom Cruise’s character so much: just as he kept dying and waking up, we kept falling asleep and waking up. It wasn’t the movie’s fault—we couldn’t sleep the previous night because our left rib still hurts from the 2D echocardiogram they did at the hospital. (Apologies to our seatmates in case we were snoring or sleep-talking, which we sometimes catch ourself doing.) The tech really crushed our rib cage; she must not have found our heart.

So we’re watching The Edge of Tomorrow again today.
