My Funny Valentine
The Bittersweet Movie Montage by Clara Darko
Clara Darko, our favorite video editor and movie montage master, has conjured up a beautiful execution of a small and touching idea into the sweetest romantic ode to bromances that are bound with sexual overtures.
The filmmaker said, “A very simple and personal tribute to the idea of love and attraction between men that are not openly homosexual. These three couples have sad or even tragic endings, but I chose to skip that and give them a bit of hope.” The song and the scenes she edited bring it home. The song is “My Funny Valentine” performed by Chet Baker.
The featured couples Clara Darko chose are:
River Phoenix and Keanu Reeves in “My Own Private Idaho“(1991,)
Matt Damon and Jude Law in “The Talented Mr. Ripley” (1999) and
Daniel Radcliffe and Dane DeHaan in “Kill your Darlings” (2013).
Enjoy as we celebrate all kinds of love for this Valentines’s Day.
