grace kelly, revisited.

I'm currently teaching a film class filled with high school seniors and am having so much fun with it. Last week, we watched Hitchcock's Rear Window, and I don't think I've ever had such a good time watching a movie with a group of people. They were shouting while dying out of suspense, and couldn't get over Grace Kelly's beauty. At one point, one male student slammed his fists on his desk and shouted "If Grace Kelly dies, I'm never coming back to school again!" So, so hilarious. Ahhhh. . . teenagers. . .they're the best.

la danse.

frederick wiseman's new documentary, la danse, takes an inside look at the paris opera ballet. from watching the trailer alone, i can tell the film takes a careful, honest look at the art form, and i cannot wait to see it.
