"In the mean time it happened that David arose from his bed after noon, and walked upon the roof of the king's house: and he saw from the roof of his house a woman washing herself, over against him: and the woman was very beautiful.
And the king sent, and inquired who the woman was.
And it was told him, that she was Bethsabee the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Urias the Hethite"

LOCO CELLO - François Salque, Samuel Strouk, Jérémie Arranger joue Le Rêve de Maya - Flèche d’Or (extrait de l’album Tangorom)
François Salque (violoncelle), Samuel Strouk (guitare) et Jérémie Arranger (contrebasse) qui forment le trio Loco Cello annoncent leur second album Tangorom pour le 03 février 2023 avec à la clé une belle tournée qui s'arrête à Paris au Café de la Danse le 13/02/2023.
À l’occasion du 70e anniversaire de la mort de Django Reinhardt, les hommages au maître manouche ne manqueront pas. Parmi les nombreux Nuages à venir, le nouvel album de Loco Cello, Tangorom, propose une éclaircie salvatrice en célébrant, avec audace et originalité, une autre facette de Django : celle de son jeu lyrique à travers sa passion de la musique classique.
Tangorom navigue d’Astor Piazzolla à Django, en passant par la musique de chambre et les musiques d’Europe de l’Est. Une folle odyssée. On retrouve sur ce second album de Loco Cello deux invités de marque : les guitaristes Biréli Lagrène et Adrien Moignard

If you want to see the difference between America and France – both in judicial pursuits and also in simple filmmaking styles – all you have to do is watch Anatomy of a Fall.
Anatomy of a Fall is technically a courtroom drama, but it turns out that there is so much more to it than that. It tells the story of a couple who are living in a huge farmhouse in the French Alps, one that French husband Samuel (Samuel Theis) is trying to renovate and resell, but it is turning out to be much more expensive than he originally imagined.
His German wife Sandra (Sandra Hüller) had moved to his old hometown for the project, even though she knows few people there. Sandra is a relatively successful novelist. Samuel is also a writer, but he never has had his wife’s success. Their marriage has also been changed by the fact that their son Daniel (Milo Machado-Graner) had an accident while Samuel was supposed to be watching him, which has nearly completely ruined his eyesight. (He can see a bit but is essentially legally blind.)
In this tinderbox, one day Samuel falls out of the attic window and is killed. But did he commit suicide? Or did his wife murder him?
The legal system seems to be pretty certain that it is the second choice, particularly when it comes to light that Samuel has been secretly recording conversations with his wife – supposedly to gain material for a potential book – and those recordings include a few rather contentious arguments, at least one of which appears to have led to violence. Therefore, Sandra is forced to come to court and defend her life – literally.
Also drawn into the maelstrom is young Daniel, who has been witness to the animosity building in his parents’ marriage. He doesn’t want to believe that his mother could have done so horrific an act, at the same time he doesn’t want to believe that his father was suicidal. Therefore, he goes to court almost every day, reliving the horror and learning secrets about his parents’ strained marriage, which is shown throughout in flashbacks.
It's an intriguing story, and frankly one that is probably all too common. A bunch of basically good people getting into bad situations and taking it out on each other. No matter who is ultimately responsible, no one will come out unscathed. And no one can really know exactly what happens in anyone else’s home.
Watching the film as an American, even when the verdict comes down, you’re half expecting the other shoe to drop. And while Anatomy of a Fall does spend a good 10-20 minutes on exploring how the verdict affected the main characters, it does not throw in one last plot twist. Perhaps, just perhaps, the legal system could have actually gotten something right.
It’s not totally surprising that Anatomy of a Fall does not mimic the traditional legal thriller. Writer/director Justine Triet said that she was trying to emulate Ingmar Bergman’s Scenes from a Marriage rather than say… Witness for the Prosecution or Law & Order.
In doing so, she has made one of the most intriguing legal dramas in recent memory.
Cheng: most likely from 程 (chéng) meaning "schedule", "journey", or "procedure". It is the surname of Chinese-born French academician and writer François Cheng.
Marinette: a diminutive of "Marie" and sometimes used as a form of "Marine", it is ultimately derived from an Egyptian name meaning "love, beloved", which was later associated with the Hebrew words for "bitter" and "rebellion". It is etymologically connected to the name of the Ladybug Miraculous: in languages like English and German, the ladybug is named after the Virgin Mary.
"Marinette" is also a noun in French, namely the feminine form of "marin", meaning "sailor", and was thus most likely also chosen in reference to Sailor Moon. In Middle French, it also meant "compass"—a tidbit to keep in mind when watching Captain Hardrock.
The name is very old-fashioned. It was most frequently used from 1927 to 1957, owing to the popularity of the book series "Contes du chat perché", whose main characters were named Delphine and Marinette.
Tom: short form of "Thomas", which comes from an Aramaic word meaning "twin". References series creator Thomas Astruc.
Sabine: from the name of an Italic tribe that inhabited what is now Lazio. Is a reference to the woman who initially inspired Thomas Astruc to create Miraculous Ladybug.
Gina: short form of several Italian names that end with "-gina", such as Regina or Georgina. Was popularized by Italian actress Gina Lollobrigida, whose birth name was Luigina.
Rolland: English variant of "Roland", which is in turn derived from two Germanic elements meaning "fame" and either "land" or "brave". Roland was the name of a semi-legendary Frankish military leader, whose story is told in the epic poem "La Chanson de Roland". Aside from the historical associations, it was probably chosen as a pun on "rolling pin".
Wang: "king", in Mandarin.
1.2. Agreste
Agreste: meaning "rustic" in French, it's also used in the figurative sense of "rude, uncivilized". Is also the French word for the greyling butterfly (Hipparchia semele).
Adrien: ultimately derived from the name of an Etruscan city, which in turn might have been derived from a word meaning "water". Was probably chosen in reference to the Adriatic Sea, since Marinette, Luka, and Félix's names also have a nautical theme.
Athanase: from "Athanasios", a Greek name meaning "immortal".
Gabriel: "God is my strongman", in Hebrew. This is the name of an archangel associated with carrying messages from God. Was most likely chosen in reference to fashion designer Coco Chanel, whose real name was Gabrielle.
Émilie: of Latin origin, it is probably derived from the word "aemulus", which means "rival" or "envious, jealous", and is etymologically related to the word "emulate". Is also most likely a reference to Emily Lyman, mother of Harry Osborn.
1.3. Graham de Vanily
Graham: from two Old English words meaning "gravel" and "homestead".
de Vanily: from the word "vanilla". Together with Emilie and Amelie's first names and their other surname, it forms a pun: in French, "Emilie/Amelie Graham de Vanily" sounds kind of like "un milligramme de vanille", meaning "a milligram of vanilla".
Fathom: from a unit of length equal to about 1.8 meters (6 feet, for the Americans), chiefly used in nautical measurements. As a verb, it means "to measure the depth of something", and is also used figuratively to mean "to comprehend, understand".
Félix: from a Latin word meaning "happy, lucky". Used to be Adrien's name in previous drafts of the story, and was thus most probably a reference to both Felix the Cat and Felicia Hardy.
Amélie: from a Germanic word meaning "work, activity".
Colt: from an English word meaning "young male horse", it was most famously the surname of American industrialist Samuel Colt, owner of the Colt firearms company.
