While watching the Oscar-Nominated torrent movies of 2023,  I can't help but take their screenshots and turn them into a gif.  *For better appreciation ie* ***    Intermission!    *** ***   Getting stressed for not being able to watch The Fabelmans yet!   *** A good, sensitive Spielberg movie! Black Comedy for a change. Talk about the "triangle of sadness" still,  iykwim . World Cinema is A-OK! "Animation is Cinema...not a genre for kids. It is a medium!" ---Guillermo del Toro ***   E ntracte de films d'inspiration française *** Feat Louis Jordan, Leslie Caron, Catherine Deneuve An addition of five nominated movies I've seen previously. Re: The Banshees of Inisherin ; I had to watch In Bruges to learn more about this writer/director's general tone in filmmaking because the storyline is parochial and patriarchal in nature and frankly,  quite difficult to grasp iykwim.  Dialogue on both is  great  though, if you can get past the strong Irish dialect !

Grounded 18" x 24" canvas with light blue color then chalked in figures. Placing the heads. Turning monochromatic. Done with the girl. Next up, them eyes! Do the eyes have it? More adjustments needed. I think mother looks like mother now. Still waiting for my friend/client's verdict. I really want to add the butterfly accents now. Added the butterflies but apparently not yet finished. Lightened the butterflies and adjusted faces some more. This is the final artwork.
