Sackvillesque - CUT WITH THE KITCHEN KNIFE

Vita Sackville-West

“You glow like a perfumed lamp In the gathering shadows.”

— Wu Tsao, from For the Courtesan Ch’ing Lin; Women Poets of China (tr. by Kenneth Rexroth)

While I’d love to start an art history side blog, this is just my little corner of the internet for now.

I like a lot of things:

★ authors. . . katherine mansfield, franz kafka, françoise sagan, virginia woolf

★ shows. . . ghosts ✨, portrait of a marriage, hataraki man, world fool news (pls talk to me about world fool news)

★ fandom. . . US history, old hollywood, beatlegirls, athletic history, motivational vlogs lol

★ music. . . riot grrrl, vintage music, obscure classical

★ hobbies. . . playing tennis, drawing, going on wikipedia, staying up reallyyy late.

I watched this movie during lunch because I have no friends /j and it turned out to be a really interesting documentary.

I know it’s from 2013 but it got me more into Cantonese films lately, I might seek some recommendations from my mom. Ngl, I always used to think that exclusively media from Britain/France/Czech Republic “fit my personality better” 😭 And I’m half Chinese so I always found it easy to just ignore that I’m Chinese. But I’m so into the Cantonese film lore now.
