SFF4

I met Tyler in Park City to see some movies. We got a waitlist number for the Shorts program (I love the Shorts), but mostly because it was in the same theater as the movie we wanted to see later, and that would make it easier to get in. While waiting in line though we opened the paper and saw the movie we were stoked to see got really bad ratings. So we got some food and headed over to another venue for waitlist numbers. We bought a deck of Sundance playing cards and played speed until it was time to line up again for the movie. It was Antonio Banderas' movie "Summer Rain." It was absolutely beautiful. He was very generous with his answers to questions afterwards, going on in detail about certain scenes or inspiration. I particularly liked all the references it included to Dante's "The Divine Comedy." I read "The Inferno" (the first section) in my senior English class--thank you Mrs. Johnson--and it was beautiful in its artistic and visual appeal. At the end of the semester we had to do a project on one of the pieces we'd read so my mom helped me to design and make a stained glass art piece representing the inferno abstractly. When people come over and ask what it is hanging in our window, I like to just say, "It's hell. Isn't it beautiful?"
