Happy Thursday! It’s movie night AND trivia time on MASKulinity this week. Remoy and Samantha give each other their favorite film recommendations that expose MASKulinity in different ways.
- One is a thoughtful indie about a father-daughter vacation. It explores themes of loneliness, mental health issues, and human connection, using beautiful cinematic devices. We’ll give you a few hints—it’s not an American film and it’s a coming-of-age story, perhaps not for whom you might think.
- The other is making waves on Netflix. A covert office romance gone wrong. A high-power couple sees their relationship tested in the battleground that is Wall Street when one unsuspectedly gets a promotion. The filmmaker asks a pertinent question: Why does a woman being powerful make a man feel powerless?
- There are spoilers in the companion pieces—you’ve been warned!
