i don't know what it is but something about the 1987 maurice film was soo alluring to me, despite being as boring as it was (especially on the first watch). there wasn't much that felt very memorable to me, save for the ending. maybe it was just how it handled silent intimacy and themes about the lack of words and talking that pulled me into another rewatch. then i remembered risley and his dialogue of "one must talk, talk, talk" and it just speaks to me. idk, i love boring queer films cuz there's so much that can happen even in quiet, still moments, and despite the muteness there exists a kind of pressure that breaks people into their truest forms. i love silence
#maurice 1987#“it's only by talking that we shall caper upon the summit”#lowkey feel bad giving it 3 stars but the movie really felt kinda lacking#especially after having seen the deleted scenes like why did u do that#pia yaps#sorry this movie just continues to haunt my head after days which is unexpected
