Alan B — Kids was a very good movie, but I think rather controversial.
Should be noted that Mia was in that as well! She has chosen some prime roles.

Alan– none! With such big names the potential of this project is so exciting.

I read the novel under its original title 'The Price of Salt'. I didn't even consider that it would ever be adapted, least of which by a major director and in-demand actresses, considering its lesbian themes. How many MAJOR films have been made about lesbian relationships in the last 5 years?

Sorry, a revision of my previous message (you may so kindly disregard, and erase if possible, while leaving only this one up!):
It is just so riveting to hear that some good Cinema is still being made, or struggles to get made out there! After months (spent) watching or hearing about absolutely non creative, non loving nor loved, non personal and non cohesive productions being financed just for money, supposedly in order to hit very uneven, and, more and more dehumanized audiences, often even bewildered by the assumption of a new "technical achievement" presented as a new type of filmmaking, made without love or ideals, true inspiration or just for the sake of Arts, and their powerful eternal mean of free expression, it is now almost bedazzling to hear that some real, never compromising talent, such as Haynes and many more, cited in this joyful and hopeful article by Oliver Lyttelton, is actually still capable to get heard, and, to possibly accomplish the realization of movies made with a sense and sensibility, mostly, with freedom, as an advocate to creation and the realm of never ending possibilities and wonders, "that old black magic" Cinema, that is not "arranged" by a God called money, and, by all of its followers, who believe greatness can be achieved only with the power of it, and, never with the one of the mind. The human mind, that is.
Thank you!
PS: it feels indeed as a remarkable day!

It is just so riveting to hear that some good Cinema is still being made or struggles to get made out there! After months watching or hearing about absolutely non creative, non loving nor loved, non personal, non cohesive productions being financed just for the money in order to hit a very uneven yet dehumanized audiences, just bewildered by the assumption of a new "technical" and far from love and Arts, type of filmmaking, it is almost bedazzling to hear that some real, never compromised talent like Haynes and many more, cited in this joyful and hopeful article by Oliver Lyttelton, is still capable to get heard and to possibly accomplished the realization of movies, with a sense, and, a sensibility, with freedom as an advocate to creation and its wonders, and, not "arranged" by a God called money, and, all of its followers, who believe greatness can be achieved only with the power of money, and, not with the one of the mind.

Mia W is the least hyped of the bunch of young actresses out there and yet she's nailing all the choice roles. Hm.

Mia Wasikowska is so young, yet she builds a really impressive carreer.

"I'm Not There" is "uneven, but intermittently transcendent"? I call BS!

As it stands though, Haynes is my favorite director working, (barring Scorsese); always look forward to his stuff.

Thank you for making my day; even though we may disagree on things…

Very excited to find out that Carol is still on! Haynes is a capable director and he's familiar with the era. I am assured it's going to be a winner!
