The balcony of Cinema Odeon in Florence's Piazza Strozzi. Well, now that my blood pressure has subsided, I can tell you all about how fabulous Argo was! I was nervous for the characters nearly the entire time. I loved the pacing of the storyline, the prevalence of hilarious 70s mustaches and glasses, humor for smiles, the merging of history with storytelling, and how about that Ben Affleck?! I had movies on the brain all day today. Can you believe I had a pop test in my Italian cinema class today? Let's hope my essay on the 1914 film Cabiria was up to snuff.
