A photo of Izumi's room. It's a bit small but with the loft bed she has her own computer and desk area which she figures is going to be great for when her classes start. Plus, she has a mini TV, a comfy but cheap chair she'd bought at the Sprucewood Sunday flea Market, and her mom and dad got her a pretty fancy bookshelf for her textbooks, Manga, novels, and miscellaneous decor. Izumi was nervous as heck to leave home and live with two random sims, but she really liked Amy and Chloe. They were nice and Amy also liked knitting and metal music, while Chloe's super sweet and into baking. Since Izumi had mentioned she loved anything chocolate, Chloe had baked chocolate cupcakes. Although Izumi was shy and was like "Thanks, I'll take one,' Chloe smiled and added 'Take more, Amy doesnt like chocolate too much, so you and I are gonna finish these.' And Izumi grinned and took some more before playfully teasing Amy about not liking chocolate.
Plus, the neighbors came to visit, and not too long after that, Amy's cousin Megan came over.
[lucas bravo] alto, quem vem lá? oh, só podia ser YVES DELISLE CALVET/PORTHOS DUCHAMP, o COZINHEIRO/ESPIÃO FRANCÊS de 32 anos que veio de Chevreuse. você quase se atrasou hoje, hein? eu sei que você é normalmente extrovertido e observador, mas também sei bem que é misterioso e desobediente, então nem tente me enganar. ande, estão te esperando; entre pela porta de trás.
Yves Delisle Calvet é um jovem nascido na Inglaterra, mas que se viu envolvido em uma história surpreendente devido às circunstâncias de seu nascimento. Seu pai servia como guarda da família do Marquês Marcel De Villiers em uma missão diplomática na Inglaterra quando a esposa do guarda-costas deu à luz o único filho do casal. No entanto, a união entre os pais de Yves não deu certo, e sua mãe retornou à corte, já que era neta de um duque influente.
Yves cresceu dentro de um quartel-general, onde desde cedo aprendeu a ser um soldado. Antes de oficialmente se tornar um, ele realizava as atividades rotineiras com os outros aspirantes, como corridas ao nascer do dia, lavar pratos e fazer exercícios. Sua habilidade nata para estratégia e seu sangue nobre o tornavam querido e influente onde quer que fosse, mas Yves tinha uma paixão pelo campo de batalha, onde as lutas eram anunciadas.
No entanto, o destino tinha outros planos para Yves. Sua incrível habilidade de observação e sua personalidade extrovertida atraíram a atenção da Coroa, que o contratou como espião no palácio. Seu disfarce era o de um sous chef de cozinha recém-chegado do distrito de Chevreuse. Ele representou o papel de um jovem cozinheiro em ascensão, causando burburinhos na cozinha do palácio, onde conseguiu uma oportunidade sem precedentes.
O sonho fabricado de Porthos era ter seu próprio restaurante, e ele até adicionou um toque de drama à sua história, alegando que sua mãe estava doente, justificando assim seus sumiços intermitentes do palácio. Com seu charme irresistível, sua aparência facilmente cativava todos que cruzavam seu caminho. No entanto, o jovem espião guardava a maioria de suas interações frívolas e banais para si, relatando à coroa apenas as atitudes verdadeiramente suspeitas.
PERSONALIDADE
Porthos é um indivíduo extrovertido, observador, misterioso e jocoso. Ele é mestre em manter sua verdadeira identidade oculta sob camadas de charme e simpatia, sempre com um sorriso no rosto. Sua habilidade de criar enredos mirabolantes e sua perspicácia o tornam um espião excepcional. Ele gosta de brincar com as situações, fazendo com que os outros subestimem sua verdadeira astúcia. Yves é um mestre na arte da dissimulação, mas não consegue resistir a uma boa piada ou um jogo de palavras quando a situação permite.
Charles Denner and Yves Montand in Z (Costa-Gavras, 1969)
Cast: Jean-Louis Trintignant, Yves Montand, Irene Papas, Pierre Dux, Jacques Perrin, Charles Denner, François Périer, Georges Géret, Bernard Fresson, Marcel Bozzuffi, Julien Guiomar, Magali Noël. Screenplay: Jorge Semprún, based on a novel by Vassiliis Vassilikos. Cinematography: Raoul Coutard. Production design: Jacques D’Ovidio. Film editing: Françoise Bonnot. Music: Mikis Theodorakis.
Costa-Gavras's great political thriller, Z, was an unsettling film to watch in 1969, the year after Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. were assassinated, the police clashed with demonstrators at the Democratic convention in Chicago, and Richard Nixon was elected president. What makes it unsettling in today's political climate is the way the film shows the destructive collaboration of ideologues, buffoons, and thugs. It's an often grimly funny movie, particularly in the portrayal of the general in charge of the police, who as played by Pierre Dux is both ideologue and buffoon. There is buffoonery also among the thugs, and Costa-Gavras has fun mocking the conspirators who, once they angrily leave the room in which they've been indicted, each try to open a locked door. But we mock them in vain. For while the efforts of the prosecutor played beautifully by Jean-Louis Trintignant are heroic and Costa-Gavras and screenwriter Jorge Semprún make us expect justice to prevail, it doesn't. The story is that of the assassination of Greek opposition politician Grigoris Lambrakis in 1963 and the subsequent investigation that brought a glimmer of hope to the country only to be squelched by the military coup of 1967. However, the film is set in no specific country -- it was filmed in Algeria -- and only an opening "disclaimer" that parodies the usual assertion about any resemblance to persons living or dead dares to say that the resemblances in the film are entirely intentional. Costa-Gavras and Semprún were political exiles from, respectively, Greece and Spain. The composer Mikis Theodorakis had been arrested and his music was banned in Greece; he gave Costa-Gavras permission to use existing compositions for the film score. But the decision to set the film in no particular place only strengthened its ability to reach out and make its story meaningful beyond a specific place and time. Although Yves Montand and Irene Papas get top billing as the assassinated politician and his wife, Montand's role is comparatively small and Papas's is virtually a cameo. The movie is mostly carried by Trintignant and by Jacques Perrin, one of its producers who also plays a very aggressive investigative journalist, and a capable supporting cast. It won Oscars as the best foreign-language film and for Françoise Bonnot's film editing. It was also nominated in the best picture category, and picked up nominations for best director and best adapted screenplay, but lost in those categories to Midnight Cowboy and its director, John Schlesinger, and screenwriter, Waldo Salt.
The history of the Brazilian capital Brasília, inaugurated in 1960, is deeply intertwined with photography: probably no other city’s history has been so extensively documented in photographs, for one thing because it is so young but at the same time because from early on renowned photographers took an interest in the utopian project. Rene Burri, Marcel Gautherot and even Andreas Gursky have cast a multitude of perspectives on architecture, vegetation, the sky but also the hardships associated with the construction of Brasília. Since 2006 Brazilian photographer Leonardo Finotti has explored and documented the breezy fabric of the city with both the camera and the drone, a long-term project that on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of Brasilia’s inauguration was published in the present book: „Brasília- History and Modernity“ contains a stunning selection of Finotti’s photographs of the city’s iconic as well as lesser-known and newer buildings, among them of course Oscar Niemeyer’s and Lelé’s but also José Galbinski’s and Rodrigo Lefèvre’s. Fortunately he didn’t spare out the wonderful gardens of Roberto Burle Marx which through drone photographs reveal all of their fascinating abstract forms.
Finotti’s precisely composed photographs are arranged in a very particular way that adds a certain dynamic to the otherwise static architecture: although each photograph is featured on a double page every section can also be read as an individual entity, a method that not only provides different perspectives but which also stimulates a deeper reflection on the architecture, the interplay of its forms and its contextual relationships. As a result the book offers more than just a stunning overview of Brasília’s unique architectural and urbanist heritage: through the remarkable precision of Finotti’s photographs the readers are guided along the city’s structure in order to better understand Lucio Costa’s and Oscar Niemeyer’s idea of this seminal capital made from scratch. „Brasília“ is a fascinating history that doesn’t require many words but open eyes.
Okay, so since I’m back on here again in the ongoing exodus, I thought I’d better do an introductory post for anyone who wants to follow as well as refresh old friends and followers. Open to new friendships so feel free to send me asks, reply, or whatever if you want to talk.

ARENA HOMME SS 2002
El arte tridimensional se caracteriza por la creación de obras con tres dimensiones: alto, ancho y largo. Al igual que el arte bidimensional al, la creación tridimensional es tan antigua como el hombre mismo. En la Prehistoria el hombre modeló objetos de arte con fines mágico-religiosos, y como herramientas de trabajo y defensa.
El arte contemporáneo, es en si el arte de nuestro propio tiempo, se produce y manifiesta en el ahora, respondiendo a la conciencia cultural del momento, a su sociedad, a las necesidades conjuntas, al espíritu de la época. Y es que el arte es inherente a lo humano, a su cultura y evolución.
PRIMER TRABAJO (Móvile, suspensión, sonido)
TITULO: El ave que no vuela
AUTORES: Javier Mauricio Castro Parra y Valentina Puentes Losada
TECNICA: Mixta
REFERENTES
Paul Villinski
trabaja con objetos reutilizados como latas de aluminio y guantes viejos, explora temas de vuelo, ambientalismo, así como adicción y recuperación. Su musa principal ha tomado la forma de mariposas representadas en múltiples mientras se arremolinan en las paredes, o se organizan cuidadosamente en formas hecho curioso.
Este artistita sirvió de inspiración a nuestro proyecto ya que trabaja con latas y objetos reutilizados para ser sus móviles.
Alexander Calder
Célebre por sus esculturas de alambre, sus bosquejos de línea continua y sus abstracciones motorizadas, Alexander Calder es reconocido en el mundo del arte por crear una obra que Marcel Duchamp bautizaría como móvil, objeto que se convertiría en precursor del arte cinético, introduciendo en la escultura moderna movimiento y dinamismo como elementos plásticos dominantes en la obra.
Este artista sirvió de inspiración para nuestro proyecto ya que trabaja la figuras geométricas en sus móviles y en sus obras.
Bocetaje
Proceso
Primeros pasos
Para este proyecto se tuvieron que recolectar mas de 200 latas de cerveza, gaseosa y jugos, los cuales pasaron por un proceso de lavado y desinfección para poder trabajarlos, luego se ejecutaron los primeros pasos:
- Lavar las latas.
- Cortas las latas, formando una abertura suficitemente ancha para poder meter el nailon.
Montaje y Exposición
"El ave que no vuela"
Representación del ave "El Cóndor": Se esta representando el ave representativa de Colombia, ya que es una de las aves que esta en peligro de extinción.
Representación de las latas de cerveza: Se presenta el consumismo por parte de las personas que se ven atrapadas por el alcohol y atrás adiciones del mundo.
Representación de la sombra: Se presenta la sombra como a ella que sigue a todas partes y esta ahí en lo mas brilloso del día de lo mas oscuro de la noche.
El ave esta sujeta entre dos edificios, donde no puede volar. El "avance" y "progreso" de los seres humano no ha sido más que una fachada para crear cada día personas controladas por el mundo, donde nos aleja del verdadero significado de la vida, lo ralamente humano y vital, le quita la importancia del cuidado de la tierra y lo natura, la fauna y flora también se ve afectada por la contaminación de todos que habitan el planeta. No somos más que seres consumidores y asesinos de la vida.

Katharina Grosse
La artista alemana Katharina Grosse (Berlín, 1961), conocida sobre todo por sus intervenciones en espacios naturales y urbanos (suelos, edificios, muros, techos y todo aquellos que sea susceptible de ser intervenido artísticamente). En unos de sus proyectos presentar una emotiva intervención en un edificio de la costa de Nueva York, que había quedado muy dañado y abandonado por el paso del fatídico huracán Sandy hace cuatro años. Allí decide pintar el edificio o casa con colores del atardecer como ultimo recuerdo antes de ser demolida.
Shannina Dionna
La artista narra en sus pinturas y creación todos sus sentimientos y dolores que han trascurrido en su vida, donde une la psicología y el arte como la voz para hacerse escuchar y sentir.
Bocetaje
Proceso
Para la iniciación de este proyecto se necesitaron los siguientes materiales:
Tela o platico blanco
Palitos de madera (palos pincho)
Silicona en barra
Nailon delgado
Bolsa negra
Flores artificiales
Lampara
Extensión
Para la construcción de la casa se tuvieron que tomar primero las medidas del lugar para así sacar las medidas exactas de tela.
Una vez las telas están cortadas se empieza a estructura la casa con los palitos de madera, esto para crear mas soporte a toda la estructura.
Una vez lista la estructura se pega y se amarra la estructura en el techo y en la pared para que la casa quede un poco suspendida.
Se coloca una bolsa negra dentro de la casa, se paga con silicona para que no se corra.
Lista la estructura de la casa se empieza la construcción de adentro. Donde se colocara una bolsa negra en el suelo, y en cima de ella se colocara las flores artificiales desprendidas de sus tallos, también ira una lampara amarra a los tallos sin las flores y esta lampara irán encendida durante la exposición.
Montaje y Exposición
"La casa negra"
El significado de la casa trasciende a través de mi memoria, siempre recuerdo mi casa como el lugar mas significativos, pues ella me ha visto crecer durante toda mi vida y a estado ahí para mi. Los recuerdos no siempre son "bueno" ni "bonitos".
El nombre de esta obra describe el contraste que se encuentra en los horas y en las casas de familia. el hogar y la casa debe ser lo mas puro, puesto que nos protege, nos ayuda y nos guía en el camino por la vida, pero en algunos caso no es así, para otros es una tortura vivir en la casa donde nacieron vivir y compartir con las mismas personas, en mi caso, mi casa, me trae todo esos recuerdos amargos que he pasado con mi familia, la casa no es siempre paz (blanca), también puede ser oscura (negra).
TERCER TRABAJO (Lo fundible, comestible, destructible)
En su obra "El vestido de carne", sirvió de inspiración para nuestra obra efímera ya que nos habla de lo breve de la belleza. Nos recuerda que hoy estamos vivos y mañana nos vamos a pudrir.
Pieter Aertsen, Bodegón con la huida a Egipto, 1551
Oleo sobre madera, pintura donde se manifiesta un botín de diferentes animales desmembrados donde el artista quiso advertir al espectador sobre la distracción de la carne ante los deberes espirituales. Por eso, al fondo del puesto hay un grupo de fieles que se unen a la Sagrada Familia en su viaje a Egipto. Templanza y gula: la controversia del siglo XIV.
Bocetaje
Proceso
Para la iniciación de este proyecto se necesitaron los siguientes materiales:
Barillas
Soldadura
Herramientas
Maya de alambre
Alambre
Gordos, carne y viseras.
Carbón, madera y papel
Fuego
Como primer paso, una vez elegido el boceto se empezó hacer la estructura en metal que será el asador.
Se compro la varilla y empezamos hacer los circulo para el asador.
Una vez listo los circulos se paso a soldar cada uno, en este caso tres, el mas grande, el mediano y uno pequeño.
Luego empezamos hacer lo laterales que sujetara los circulos y la estructura.
Se soldan los laterales a los circulos
Estructura soldada
Se pule la estructura para mejor terminaciones
Una vez la pieza pulida se pinta la estructura
Montaje y exposición
Asador de las carnes
Se tiene listo la estructura del asador, se pondrá la maya de alambre alrededor y encima de esta se empezara a dar forma al ave con los gordos, viseras y carne.
Para el montaje: la obra se instalo en Agoras en la Universidad Surcolombina, donde se cumplió el objetivo propuesto, se expuso antes las personas el significado de la obra y mas detalles.
Ave construida con los gordos y restos de carne
"La muerte se come"
Representación del ave "El chulo": Para este proyecto se quiso representar el "chulo" común mente llamado, estas aves son las encargas de limpiar nuestro ecosistemas ellas se comen lo descompuesto (desechos, animales y cosas muertas) en los terrenos baldíos donde los seres humanos depositas su basura.
Representación de las carnes, Gordos y viseras: Que quiere representar la doble moral que tienen los seres humanos. Ya que cuando común mente comen carne animal se la goza de la mejor manera, en el desayuno, almuerzo y cena. Pero cuando nos encontramos una escena donde el animal esta descuartizado con sus órganos en una bandeja llenos de sangre inmediatamente nos surgen sentimientos de asco, de culpa o de nostalgia, pero igual nos comemos la carme.
El ser humano daña todo a su pasa descompone la vida natural, es el que genera la basura y no la limpia, el chulo en su caso limpia y ayuda a nuestro ecosistema, así como todos los animales viven a su instinto. Nosotras dañamos su habitad.
Nota: La estructura fue quitada por la Universidad, de la cual nunca fue devuelta.
La iniciativa de celebrar el Día Internacional del Mimo surgió del actor y mimo francés Jean Bernard Laclotte, quien propuso festejar este arte cada 22 de septiembre en conmemoración a la muerte de Marcel Marceau.
Aunque se desconoce la fecha oficial en la que se instituyó esta celebración, las fuentes nos hacen ver que dicho día comenzó a festejarse en el año 2011, con la participaron de diversos países del mundo, entre ellos: Francia, España, Argentina, Venezuela, México, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Colombia, Chile, Estados Unidos, Uruguay y Perú.
youtube
Es importante señalar que Laclotte es un actor, mimo, director teatral y profesor de expresión corporal que estudio con Marceau y tiene participación activa durante el Día Internacional del Mimo. Durante las festividades es posible disfrutar de sus presentaciones, así como de otras diversas actividades destinadas al disfrute de este arte silente.
¿Qué son los mimos?
Los mimos son actores que, sin utilizar palabras, representan historias por medio de movimientos, gestos y expresión corporal. Su origen proviene de la antigua Grecia donde se realizaban obras de distintos géneros. Este arte se iría expandiendo paulatinamente a otras regiones como Sicilia, Roma y Alejandría, entre otros, evolucionando con el correr del tiempo.
Fue conservado por compañías ambulantes en la Europa medieval, resurgiendo con la Commedia dell' Arte (teatro popular nacido en Italia, siglos XVI-XIX). Luego continuaría su desarrollo con representantes como: Jean-Gaspard Deburau, Jacques Copeau, Ètienne Decroux, Jacques Lecoq y Marcel Marceau. Cada uno agregando elementos distintivos a este arte.
¿Quien fue Marcel Marceau?
Nació el 22 de marzo de 1923 en Estrasburgo (Francia). De origen judío, durante su adolescencia tuvo que abandonar su hogar junto a su familia debido a la invasión de las tropas alemanas durante la II Guerra Mundial, estableciéndose en Limoges.
Su padre fue arrestado por la policía secreta de los nazis (Gestapo) y enviado a Auschwitz (campo de concentración), donde moriría en 1944. Debido a la situación, él y su hermano cambian su apellido al de Marceau, a fin de ocultar su origen judío. Posteriormente se alistan en la Resistencia francesa y luego a las fuerzas de la Francia Libre de Charles de Gaulle.
Su admiración por Charles Chaplin, lo llevó a interesarse por la actuación, iniciando su carrera actuando para las tropas francesas de ocupación. Al finalizar la guerra comenzó a estudiar arte dramático en la academia Charles Dullinen el teatro Sarah Bernhardt de París.
En 1947 creó Bip, un personaje que tenía un suéter a rayas, pantalones negros anchos y un sombrero con una flor roja. Dicho personaje enfrentaba diversas desventuras y se convertiría en un ícono de este arte. Marceau logró, en cada interpretación, cautivar a los espectadores mezclando la acrobacia, el ballet, el ilusionismo y la genialidad.
Murió el 22 de septiembre de 2007 producto de una enfermedad. Sus restos se encuentran en el cementerio Père Lachaise de París.
Celebración en silencio
Los mimos del mundo celebran este día recurriendo a la genialidad y arte para presentar festivales nacionales e internacionales, presentaciones callejeras, homenajes a Marcel Marceau, performances, encuentros, actividades infantiles y muchas cosas más. Una forma de llevar alegría a todos nosotros través del silencio.
Al acercarse el día, debemos estar atentos de las noticias y redes sociales, para ver lo que nos tienen preparado este año. Usa el hashtag #DiaInternacionaldelMimo
🍿 Re-watch: Claude Lanzmann’s 9-hour-long documentary, Shoah. An unbearable testimony made more horrifying by Lanzmann’s editorial decisions: Not using any historical footage or music, slow camera panning of the quiet locations where the murders took place, uninterrupted static interviews without voice-over translations. An impossible cinematic feat exposing humanity’s nadir. (Photo of The man in the poster above).
10/10.
🍿 Marcel Ophuls’s Oscar winner long documentary Hotel Terminus: The Life and Times of Klaus Barbie, about the infamous "Butcher of Lyon". He brutally and personally tortured and killed thousands while head of the Gestapo in Lyon. After the war he was protected for decades by the American intelligence community, in their “fight against communism”.
🍿 On the other hand, filmed fiction about the holocaust is always doomed to be terrible, including acclaimed dramas like the Schindler’s Lists and ‘Life is beautiful’s of the world. I was hoping that Amen would be better, because it was directed by Costa-Gavras. But it was the same staged and disingenuous Hollywood-style theatrics. Rolf Hochhuth’s play ‘The Deputy’, on which this atrocity was based was 'controversial’ because it showed how the Vatican knew about the Nazi executions but still did nothing. After watching ‘Shoah’, Costa-Gavras even decided to includes numerous shots of cattle-car trains on their way back & forth from the camps. Just dreadful. 1/10.
🍿
Making Waves: The Art of Cinematic Sound (2019), a terrific documentary about the history of sound design in cinema of the US. Main interviewees are Walter Murch, Ben Burtt and Gary Rydstrom. Catnip for anybody who has interest in the technical art of film making. 9/10.
🍿
My 5th Hirokazu Kore-eda film and by a long shot, my favorite film of his, The Truth, with the magnificent 75-year-old Catherine Deneuve as a very famous, self-absorbed actress and the brilliant Juliette Binoche as her estranged daughter. The little girl was absolutely adorable. Kore-eda's first film set outside Japan. Very emotional setting.
10/10. Absolutely the best film of the week!
🍿
2 films from 100+ years ago:
🍿 Pruning the Movies, a silent 1915 short, a satire on movie censorship. (From The Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum).
🍿 The man there was (Terje Vigen), a 1917 Swedish epic at sea directed by Victor Sjöström, and the most expensive Swedish film made up to that point. A restored YouTube copy with vibrant tinting.
🍿
Once Upon a Time in Anatolia, my 3rd subtle masterpiece by Turkish Nuri Bilge Ceylan (after ‘Winter Sleep’ and ‘Distant’). Like 'Winter sleep’, it was inspired by and feels like a story by Anton Chekhov. 2.5 hours long, very moody and slow-moving, and without music to distract from its beauty, it will only appeal to people who are willing to embrace its rich, poetic elusiveness.
Winner of the Grand Prix at Cannes 2011. 9/10 - Highly recommended!
🍿
Orson Welles X 2 (+1):
🍿 “... A fellow will remember a lot of things you wouldn't think he'd remember. You take me. One day, back in 1896, I was crossing over to Jersey on the ferry, and as we pulled out, there was another ferry pulling in, and on it there was a girl waiting to get off. A white dress she had on. She was carrying a white parasol. I only saw her for one second. She didn't see me at all, but I'll bet a month hasn't gone by since that I haven't thought of that girl...”
Re-watching Citizen Kane: Orson Welles, Gregg Toland, Bernard Herrmann. Also, the innovative 1940 trailer.
in 2002, Errol Morris interviewed film critic dinild drump who interpreted it to be a film about “accumulation”.
🍿 First watch: F For Fake, his infamous, rambling film essay. A meta-mockumentary about art and fraud, centered around art forger Elmyr de Hory, hoax biographer Clifford Irving, Howard Hughes, Welles mistress Oja Kodar, and Welles himself as the ‘Big Conjuror’. With beautiful footage of Ibiza in the 60′s, and score by Michel Legrand. I would have enjoyed much more if it was done 30 years later by a Ricky Jay. 3/10.
🍿 The Tell-Tale Heart (1941), was Jules Dassin's directorial debut short. It is considered to be the first film directly influenced by ‘Citizen Kane’. (This copy is of very low quality).
🍿
Paid for by Yoko & John Lennon, and produced by predator producer Allen Klein, The holy mountain by poet-provocateur Alejandro Jodorowsky, was a Magical Mystery Acid Tour, a surrealist wet dream a-la Salvador Dalí. Allegorical, religious symbolism of the early 70′s, with alchemist, ritualistic plot, as deep as the tarot universe on which it was based.
I forgot how little dialogue was used in the story, as it was mostly visuals, wild, shamanistic, outrageous, feverish visuals. But maybe because the dialogue was along the lines of “The Cross was a mushroom - and the mushroom was also the Tree of Good and Evil” or “Rub your clitoris against the mountain - Give yourself to the world!”...
Because it influenced hundreds of other films since, it lost some of its bizarre uniqueness. Still, it remained on re-watch an historically major masterpiece. 7/10.
🍿
3 from Australia:
🍿 First watch: Chubby, 22-year-old Toni Collette in the dysfunctional Australian comedy Muriel's Wedding. A strange character that is not fully flashed-out, and whose main claim to fame is her desire to have a glamorous wedding.
🍿 ...”That's just what this country needs: a cock in a frock on a rock...”
‘Filmed in Dragarama’, The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Terrific Terence Stamp, drop-dead gorgeous transgender woman Guy Pearce, and 'Agent Smith’ play exaggerated caricatures of drag queen tropes, traveling to the outback in an old, pink bus. Camp & flamboyant, it didn’t connect with me until the ‘I will survive’ dance number in the night. 5/10.
🍿 First season of Mr Inbetween, about “Ray”, a Sydney underworld hitman, created by the actor playing him. On the one hand, he is a doting father to a 8-year-old daughter, a loving boyfriend and a loyal friend. On the other, he is a practical and old-blooded killer who eliminates violent thugs without a second thought. Dark, dry, often funny and poignant. 8/10.

Ray Donovan was another tough but silent fixer, but without any charms: Had I seen the series ‘Ray Donovan’, maybe I would have found Ray Donovan: The Movie interesting. But as a stand-along crime story it was empty and dull.
Also, the same terrible actor who was awful as Young Jeff Bridges in ‘The Old Man’ last week, was awful as young Jon Voight in this one. 2/10.

Benny’s Video, the second film (and my 9th one) by Michael Haneke. A deeply disturbing film that opens with a home video of a pig slaughtered with a bolt pistol shot to the head. But not knowing anything about it beforehand, I did not expect the horrifying twist which came after a relatively “normal” day in the life of a “normal” family. Reminded me very much of the empty alienation of Camus’ ‘The Stranger’.

2 Korean serial killers:
🍿 Bong Joon-ho‘s Memories of Murder about a famous serial killer is considered one of the best Korean movies of all times, but in spite of a strong opening scene at the fields and closing scene at the tunnel (and then back to the fields), I just didn’t get it.
🍿 Memoir of a Murderer (2017) is an unrelated but a similar thriller. I could not find any reviews connecting the two, even though it was an obvious throwback to the original. Both tells of a prolific serial killer in the countryside, and the bumbling police search for him. It opens at the same distinct train tunnel where Bong Joon-ho‘s film ends, it has triggering girls in red dresses, etc. It's about a retired murderer with dementia, who must jot down the little he remembers, so he can understand what’s happening around him (’Momento’-like). I actually liked it much better than the original.

The Old Man and the Sea, a paint-on-glass-animated Canadian short directed by Russian animator Aleksandr Petrov, based on Hemingway’s novel. Winner of the 2000 Best Animated Short Oscar.

Dirty Pictures, a documentary about psychopharmacologist Alexander Shulgin who developed hundreds of psychedelic compounds including MDMA.
Obviously, I’m 100% for the use and studies of any and all types of psychedelic drugs, but films about them are usually dull and pedestrian. Including this one, that was made 4 years before 'Sasha's death. 3/10.
Een opname gemaakt van een jonge leerlinge tijdens gitaarles in Arnhem. Zij speelt uit Guitartrain deel 2 van Marcel van Dorst 'Costa del Sol'. Een gitaarstuk in Spaanse stijl met duimaanslag, vallende melodie aanslag en akkoorden. Een vlotte en temperamentvolle flamenco-achtige stuk voor de jonge gitarist. Prima gespeeld!
