La Sapienza (2014) - At the height of his career, Alexandre decides to set off for Italy with the idea of completing of a book on Borromini. Along with his wife Alienor feels her relationship with Alexandre is gradually slipping away. Along the way they meet siblings Goffredo and Lavinia. Gofffredo is about to embark in architectural studies. A story of rediscover the joys of life and overcoming anxiety.
I had to watch this movie twice to appreciate it. I expected it to be a grand spectacle like The Great Beauty or I Am Love, but it has more of a low key, Wes Anderson-kind of quirkiness--which I found quite amusing. The message and architecture shots though are very profound. 7/10

The Intern 7.5\10
I thought this was going to be the usual cliche of "Evil boss in the end sees the right way", in fact turned out to be a very pleasant vewing with some touching moments.
I enjoyed it..

Tangerine (2015) - A working girl tears through Tinseltown on Christmas Eve searching for the pimp who broke her heart.
Very well-done--especially considering it was all shot on iPhones. This could become a future Christmas staple for me. 8/10

Sounds like a great holiday film the whole family could enjoy.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

Along with my other holiday staples, In Bruges and Eyes Wide Shut.  My relatives never like watching Christmas movies with me.

I rated this one a little higher, but was surprised that it was the top movie of 2015 on Metacritic.

The Duke of Burgundy (2014) - A woman who studies butterflies and moths tests the limits of her relationship with her lesbian lover.
Hot movie--much more sophisticated than I expected. And a beautiful soundtrack by Horrors side project band, Cat's Eyes. 9/10
