*a long forgotten past


Have you seen the movie Elisa & Marcela? It’s about two girls who were in love around 1900 in Spain, and one of them assumed a male identity so she could marry her lover and be with her. (It’s based on a true story.) What intrigued me wasn’t so much the story itself, but the way it was filmed – in black and white, so beautifully captured. When I first saw my developed black-and-white film, it instantly reminded me of this movie.
