You should make a bookshelf tour now

"You know what's so annoying? Having to justify everything on the internet and constantly walking on eggshells in case something is ethically grey" words from a poet indeed.

how is her face so engaging it's actually insane

Mr and Mrs Smith was one of the movies that made me realise I was bisexual

I need more people like this in my life

war and peace is very easy to read actually, and this is the book that divides your life into before and after. you should definitely try! 🕊️ (сори за плохой английский)

saw this and immediately had to drop everything to click

Being scattered-brain makes your video more free-flowing, I guess, as opposed to carefully choreographed like a lightsaber duel. Interestingly, I got myself a copy of Leonard Cohen's collection, "Stranger Music: Selected Poems and Songs" earlier in the year for winter, and it is an enjoyable read to jolt you out of winter blues. Or for any other time of the year, really. It contains much of his earlier poems that are pure fire. He's one of those writers who's either on life's edge, filled with doubt, or brimming with love stripped of the Hollywood-esque rosiness, one riddled with pain, the ugly, neglect.

Noticed your new shelf right away! Photography is my greatest passion and I hope you find some comfort in it too.

your hair looks amazingggg omg

You are literally the only person I trust with book recommendations 😭

I dont know if you ever watched a Wong Kar Wai movie but you definitely should! Especially Chunking express or Fallen Angels, In the mood for love... His movies are visually stunning, every cast is beautiful, sometimes they do bad things, there are questions about life, love, loneliness... I think you would definitely enjoy it! His movies will change you and leave a sense of longing or yearning in your soul. Maybe even melancholy.

I also just read The guest by Emma Cline. Finished it yesterday. I had the exact same thoughts on the ending.. I thought I could handle open endings/ cliffhangers pretty well, but apparently not..🙃 I still liked the book though, would have liked to know more of Alex' backstory.. So here's hoping for a follow-up/ part two/ sequel in which this will be revealed.

I always long for these types of videos~ love you, Saint Dakota

Okokok i came back after SOME TIME bc I’m like “wow ok this girl is … something” and I knew I would eventually appreciate her and HERE WE R. Livingggg. In my Dakota warren era

Omg yesss the queen has posted!!!!

I have been having a really horrible time lately, I have just come home from my job and just saw you posted. Life is good again

I grew up reading and listening to Leonard Cohen. His poetry has been with me since high school. His works have meant a lot to me. I'm glad you liked his work.

Hi Dakota, Two of my favorite films are "Picnic At Hanging Rock", and "Photographing Fairy's". Beautiful Imagery,wonderful plots. Your plant is trying to get in on your video !

Sorry...I hate to do this 'cause I like You so much. BUT, I believe can be important, in a certain way (or for someone). Please don't be offended by my correction, BUT, "opium" and "heroin" are two different things. Hope that You'll understand why I felt that I had to write this comment. Pardon me, please. Stay well, take care

Hi Dakota ! Love your channel and your videos of book recommendations are making me fall back in love with reading. Just finished your poetry book as well. Exquisite. Love you ~Tara from Texas 🤍

lady dakota, you might actually be my favourite person in the world

I'm so glad I've just discovered your channel☺I'm really enjoying it and it makes me wanna be the bookworm that I've missed so much🤓

hiii dakota speaking about art!!!

You should watch The Last Unicorn if you have not already. It is a children's film, but it is such a beautiful work of art and it has made me cry on numerous occasions.

Your accent pronouncing French words is so funny! Love these recs, very jealous over the new Cusk arc

loved it, - first cow - would be my recommendation. (and maybe - the holy mountain - but there is this one frog (or toads? I'm unsure) scene that I personally can't stand behind from an ethical standpoint but aside from that its absolutely great)

Always a good day when lady Dakota posts

I also watched the blue lagoon growing up (for some reason they would always have it on on Sunday) with my mum so I get the nostalgia that you feel. I haven't rewatched it in my adulthood but I definitely want to

I feel the same with short story collections, it’s really difficult for me to find ones that I love. Have you read St. Lucy’s Home for Girls Raised by Wolves by Karen Russell? That’s probably one of my favorite short story collections and I think you would like it. I also really enjoyed Vampires in the Lemon Grove also by the same author.

If you're in the mood for more Godard, I would highly recommend "Week-end." It's my favorite from him. I would also recommend "Daisies" from 1966. It's a very abstract feminist film from the Czech New Wave.

New background is absolutely GORGEOUS!! Btw, if you want to know more about The Guest's ending, you can go watch Dua Lipa's interview with Emma Cline for her bookclub! And OMG I didn't even know Rachel Cusk was coming out with a new book! So excited!

decided to start studying films again today and look what I get in my recommended. Thanks

I'm using this as a reward after doing some revision haha

I would like to recommend The Mercies by Kiran Millwood Hargrave. The narrative voice somehow reminds me of Notes on an Execution, even though the settings are completely different. It's based on a real historical event in 1617, where almost all men of a small remote Norwegian village are wiped out by a storm. It imagines the lives of the women persisting through their loss and the harsh winter. It's a beautiful read about the relationships between women, in grief for the men they lost, and the haunting presence of men who seek to persecute them.

I haven't seen Love Lies Bleeding, yet, but I feel like it would make a good double feature with Bound (1996). For more Godard I think you should watch Vivre Sa Vie, Band of Outsiders, and 2 or 3 Things I Know About Her. Other recommendations that for whatever reason make me think, "Dakota may like this," are: Betty (1992) (adaptation of the novel by Georges Simenon), Cleo From 5 to 7 (1962), The Piano Teacher (2001) (adaptation of the novel by Elfriede Jelinek), The Dreamers (2003), The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (1969) (adaptation of the novel by Muriel Spark), Loves of a Blonde (1965), and Funeral Parade of Roses (1969). OH! I'm sure you know this one but Picnic At Hanging Rock (1975) (adaptation of the book by Joan Lindsay)- if you haven't already seen (or read) these titles.

Love to see Paola Cortellesi’s work being loved outside of Italy

Pierrot le Fou is literally one of my fav movies. It's such a fun coincidence that right before clicking on this video I was watching an Anna Karina interview!!

I had a terrible day today. Thanks for this lovely gift.

i read Widow Basquait early last year and just remember how intimate and raw it felt. there are so many exploitative biographies out there and i was so impressed and touched with how unglamorous it was. great read !

I have a recommendation!!! I read Journal of a Solitude by May Sarton last month and I think you would like it!! May was a poet and novelist who suffered from depression and she kept this journal for a year recording her every day life experiencing loneliness and solitude and ruminating on her relationships with people,animals,her work,her garden. Life in general. Such a wonderful book,it made me think of you while reading

i LOVED love lies bleeding!! theres this film called drive away dolls which i liked even more which is like the much sillier cousin of love lies bleeding i would definitely recommend it

For recommendations I think you'd love Jacques Demy's work! French New Wave director, specifically the film Bay of Angels about fate & beautiful people doing terrible things!

I absolutely recommend the movie Before Sunrise if you haven't watched it! its truly captivating with the cinematography and dialogue (its a chefs kiss if you will)

hi dakota! what do you think of making a tutorial on how to annotate? i’m really stuck rn & i’m not sure how to annotate well, i’d love it if you could show us how to annotate!

I love ur recommendations so much Dakota ❤😊❤😊

RIP to your Canon, loved that warm glow

I’m sending you love ❤❤❤

On KZfaq my three favorite ladies are Claire Fenby and Dakota Warren and Emmie

I hope you made it to the event in time ❤😂

Been on a Dakota binge the past few days, SO excited to see this in my subscription box!!🫶🏻

been waiting!!!!

this was the best!!!!

I’ve already added the first one to my TBR. worried here 😂

i absolutely adore your videos

amo tu estiloooo

Dakota you would LOVE Iris Murdoch

the film "The Double Life of Veronique" really reminds me of you and it seems like something you might enjoy

I recommend susan sontag on photography.

Watch The sweet east! It was so good!

Have ever tried David Lynch's films?

not related but I wish you the best about your novel, it is amazing to see novels by young writers

LUV U Dakota and angel and most remarkable women and writer author ❤❤

camcorder vibes are exquisite

I was watching The BBC Drama Miniseries of The Onedin Line and as the ship comes closer to the shores of Dover Kent England the Shipmate tells the Captain that there pretty girls in Dover and i wonder why Prince Harry didn't Choose pretty girl from Dover instead of Meaghan Markle

I have a film recommendation, if you haven't already seen it: HENRY & JUNE (1990). It's based on Anais Nin's diary, from the time she had an affair with writer Henry Miller, and how they were both inspired by Henry's wife, June (played by Uma Thurman). It was the first movie to be given an NC-17 rating, so it wouldn't be associated with the unartistic X rating.

A movie you might like is BEAU IS AFRAID. Look into it.

Amazing recs P.S. you look beautiful

You are so beautiful and love ur fashion style so much ❤

If he was so cultured why was he dating a 19 year old lmao but ANYWAY i love your lists you always have great recommendations

i adore you 💗

i read in favor of the sensitive man this spring too! i'll be grateful for it all my life long - led me to begin "at a journal workshop" by ira progoff and in turn start to write nearly incessantly & to become much more intimate with the journalling process than ever before (in 20+ years of keeping diaries!) - if u ever end up reading that one i would luv to hear ur thoughts :^)

you should watch ‘the basketball diaries’

Watch Frankenstein the silent films, they’re my favorite

Adoro seus vídeos

The most incredible channel in KZfaq

Have you read Ananïs Nin's childhood diary as well? Linotte is brilliant!

Hey Dakota, where did you get your cross pendant from? x

!!!READ LISPEKTOR!!!

If you haven’t seen la piscine 1969 classic beautiful people being horrible!

Can I please know where you got the dress/shirt you are wearing?

My issue is that I get a bookcase, then two months later I've found more books. I can't keep buying book cases. I'm running out of walls to put them against. My daughter says, "you will never read these books, and some of them are out of date and could be misinformation." I say to quote Dr. Evil, "You don't get it....you just don't get it!"

Hi Dakota i enjoyed watching the series Lillie about lillie Langtry The Jersey Lillie

Hey queen

Thanks

i wish i could stay as pious to romanticism as you

beautiful people doing awful things is literally the plot of the secret history

what was the synth song used in the intro?

I love your look.😊

You should read The Wall by Marlen Haushofer

I wish she shared her Letterboxed name though

whats ur letterboxd account?

I watch Eva zu Beck on KZfaq and pretend she's Dakota's older sister. Similar personalities leading opposite lives.

maybe lifes okay…

You kinda inspire me to not kill myself

one cannot truly consume 'too much' media.

❤❤❤

❤

👀💯

May i have your letterbox?
