🏙️ Checking out the new sky deck mid-week was a good idea, not many people.

🚌 Taking advantage of the 50c cap on fares to go on a little adventure across the city. Bemused at the person who thinks their conversation is so important they need to share it with everyone on the bus for the last 20 minutes.

Afternoon thunderstorm means I was almost caught in the rain. Unfortunately I had to seek shelter and wait it out.

As chair of the body corporate, I think it’s important to properly prepare for a committee meeting later today.

A straw hat, black A6 notebook with red pen on top, and a schooner of beer on a table. In the background is a large window with a bar visible inside.

One of the many upsides to being on holidays is I can go earlier on my afternoon walk and be home by 4:30pm. This allows a beer at 5pm. I’m all about a balanced lifestyle.

🍿 MIFF number 18 and my final one was Misericordia (2024). ★★★½

A psychological study of repression and desire in a small rural town is what you think you're going to get. You do but the melodrama and sadness of the first half becomes philosophical and comedic through some unexpected plot twists in the second half. The glances, the unsaid thoughts, the desire of the characters, the catholic guilt over the top of it all. Some absurd dialogue that completely works and isn't out of place. Lovely camera work, with the use of day and night to help shift between the open and the secrets. You'll leave wondering if the main character is a manipulative psychopath or a hapless idiot bumbling through one mishap after another. You won't leave wondering about the priest's desire for him though.

🍿 MIFF number 17 was Some Rain Must Fall (2024). ★★

A rectangular image with a review of the movie Some Rain Must Fall (2024). The movie poster is on the left and the review on the right side. Across the bottom is a rating of Poor Okay Good Great with Okay selected. The review reads: The cinematography, lighting and visuals of this film are its strength, certainly not the plot or pacing. The first half moves slowly and you’re left to guess at how the characters have arrived where they are. There’s too much unsaid or not filled in until later and some sub plots which seem unnecessary, detracting from the overall story in fact. I can see what the director was attempting to do but I don’t think he has delivered.
