more films

Coco before chanel - a wonderfully shot cinematic profile of Coco - her life and love - I am seeing a few films that have depressing love endings and those that don't commit get hurt the most ... the acting was wonderful and the cinematagrophy was beautiful. they really must have had fun shooting in the french chateau ...
UP in the air - again a depresing love story, not sure whether I like it or not but cleverly done as was expecting a happy cheesy ending.. maybe more surprsing as its the woman who was playing around - grey similar landscapes of the airports, the anonomnity of it all , the drabness of the cities , the crapness of their jobs, the blankness and lack of social awareness that the jobs ended up having , taking away the human touch was going to cause more harm than good .. but is flying around the best way to do it, thus depriving someone of their life and home .. and stablity .
looking forwardto seeing more movies ..
 am reading adorno at the moment - he seems to be insinuating that culture really is lost, were the old time masters the  only style , do you have to suffer to be an artist ? or to be creative
