"someone who took you on a journey, right to the edge of the abyss, of the nightmare, of the unknown, and says: 'Look.'"

Ethel Cain: "I don't really care about reasons. I care about 'does it enrapture'"

Roberto Benigni: "Freud explains everything, and Fellini didn’t like those who are content with merely explaining. 'It’s like this, or like that…' He loved Jung a lot because he was like a farmer, a peasant, a magician. He was someone who took you on a journey… Jung takes you by the hand, right to the edge of the abyss, of the nightmare, of the unknown, and says: 'Look.'"

(Excerpt from Fellini: I Am a Big Liar, Damian Pettigrew, Arte)

N. T. Binh, to Michel Ciment: "I’d like to return to the way you explain the mix between the need for rationality and the taste for the imaginary in your work…"

Michel Ciment: "I can take an interest in filmmakers of rationality, but one that can be pushed to such an extreme that it tips into the irrational. Many great 19th-century realist writers (Balzac, Théophile Gautier, Maupassant, Mérimée, and others) explored that moment when extreme rationality collides with what seems incomprehensible and shifts into madness or the fantastic. (…)

All of this coexists within me: a taste for rationality and for the fantastic. (…) The notion of myth is intrinsic to humanity. This ties into my interest in Boorman: mythological thought. (…) And his entire cinema is Jungian—it’s a cinema of archetypes, of dreams, of the imagination, while still retaining a sense of realism. In psychoanalysis, the great rupture between Freud and Jung hinges on this very issue. David Cronenberg illustrated it remarkably in A Dangerous Method, with its brilliant Mankiewicz-like dialogues and intellectual debates between the two psychoanalysts. I had discussed it with Cronenberg.

In my view, with filmmakers of Jewish origin (like Kubrick, Polanski, or Cronenberg), rationality prevails. Even when they make fantastic films, they are always governed by a rational thought process. Whereas filmmakers with a Christian background tend to be Jungian, where imagination takes precedence. I think of Fellini, Malick, Boorman, David Lynch. It’s a radically different orientation, even though all of them engage with the fantastic."

(Le cinéma en partage, Editions Rivages)

Ethel Cain: "I don't really care about reasons. I care about 'does it feel good, does it feel true, does it invigorate, does it inspire, does it captivate, does it enrapture'… So sometimes, almost, reading… the explanations, for certain things, make me like it less."

📚🗓 Mid-Year Freakout Tag 2024 🗓📚

Thank you @cleopatras-library for the tag ☺️

How many books have you read so far?

10 novels, 2 graphic novels and uh, like 10 or more manga? I don't track all of them

What genres have you read?

Fantasy, historical, romance and mystery. Sometimes several of those in the same book

Best book you’ve read so far in 2024?

Probably The Briar Book Of The Dead, by A. G. Slatter if we're talking about novels only. But the graphic novel Rivages Lointains by Anaïs Flogny is just so good, I'm obsessed with it. If you can, please read it, it's French but it's been translated into English and Italian

Best sequel you’ve read so far in 2023?

The only ones I've read were either manga or the full Dr. Greta Helsing trilogy by Vivian Shaw, which I've read back to back. So either that (book 3, Grave Importance), or the manga Requiem Of The Rose King, by Aya Kanno, that I reread and finally finished after YEARS (yes the ending ended ME)

New release you haven’t read yet, but want to

There are way too many, and I keep seeing more at work, I'm gonna die of frustration. Evocation by S. T. Gibson is eyeing me very strongly because of the internet. As is The Spare Man by Mary Robinette Kowal, from where it's sitting on my coworker's display (it only came out in February in France)

Most anticipated release for the second half of the year

I don't know honestly. The one book I was really waiting for this year was A Crane Among Wolves because I loved June Hur's previous books, and since I've read it now (it's very good btw), I'm not waiting for anything else

Update I learned something as I was writing this post: HEAVENLY TIRANT MIGHT STILL BE COMING OUT THIS YEAR???? DECEMBER 24????? MERRY FUCKING CHRISTMAS TO US???? HELLO?????? After Xiran told us the release date had been pushed back I thought for sure it would come out next year but apparently not so YEAH THAT'S MY MOST ANTICIPATED RELEASE OF THE YEAR, PERIOD

Biggest disappointment

It's a toss between How To Kill Your Family by Bella Mackie, and A Far Wilder Magic by Allison Saft, for reasons that are very different. If it wasn't for that ending, How To Kill Your Family wouldn't even be there but unfortunately. And A Far Wilder Magic just wasn't for me. I didn't expect it to be YA romantasy so I was sorely disappointed

Biggest surprise

Probably A Sign Of Affection by Suu Morishita? Don't get me wrong, I love shoujo (I know, I don't like romance novels but I love shoujo, it makes no sense, don't look at me) and I thought I would like it but I didn't expect to like it this much

Book that made you cry

I cry so often when I read/watch/listen to things that it all gets mixed up in my memories. I think I cried for Rivages Lointains, I definitely cried for Requiem Of The Rose King HAHA. I might have cried for Run Away With Me, Girl by Battan, I'm not sure. All of those are manga by the way, I don't remember if I cried reading a novel this year

Book that made you happy

The Bandit Queens made me happy because the ending was great (unlike How To Kill Your Family) which healed me a little

Most beautiful book cover of a book you’ve read so far this year

Aaaaaaa I don't know. The cover (and sprayed edges) for the French edition of A Far Wilder Magic are a big part of why I even bought it in the first place, but also A Crane Among Wolves...... And of course Aya Kanno's art is just so beautiful, all the covers for the Requiem Of The Rose King series are 👌

How are you doing with your year’s goal?

I had set a goal of 40 on goodreads/storygraph but I might have underestimated how work would impact my reading habits. But also, I'm not dead set on reaching that goal, I just want to read

What books do you need to read by the end of the year?

I'd love to read more of the books I already own because it's becoming a problem. Other than that, there's no urgent need

That was fun so if anyone wants to join in, please feel free!

Five watches that made waves at Geneva Watch Days 2024

In its fifth edition, Geneva Watch Days (GWD) has come a long way from August 2020 when it was launched by its six founding members — watch brands Breitling, Bvlgari, De Bethune, Girard-Perregaux, H Moser & Cie, and MB&F. An exhibit-cum-celebration of watchmaking, the event was held across various locations in Geneva, from hotels like Beau Rivage, Fairmont, Angleterre, Ritz-Carlton and Woodward,…

✝️ Indigne !

Pierre, le futur apôtre, est un pêcheur professionnel. Avec ses compagnons, il nettoie les filets sur le rivage après avoir travaillé toute la nuit en vain. Jésus emprunte son bateau pour enseigner la foule puis lui dit : Avance en pleine eau, et jetez vos filets pour pêcher(1).

Pierre est sceptique, mais il obéit à la parole du Seigneur. Ces hommes sont alors témoins d’un miracle. Ils attrapent tant de poissons qu’ils en remplissent deux barques ! À cette vue, Pierre réalise qu’il est en présence de Dieu. Terrassé, il se jette aux pieds de Jésus et s’exclame : Seigneur, éloigne-toi de moi, parce que je suis un homme pécheur(2) .

Pierre, conscient que Jésus est le Dieu tout-puissant, ressent son indignité. Il reconnaît que son cœur est sali par le péché. Mais au lieu de l’abandonner, Jésus le rassure. Car il mourra bientôt sur la croix pour lui afin qu’il soit pardonné et purifié de tout mal.

Avez-vous un jour vécu la révélation de votre état de pécheur ? Si ce n’est pas le cas, demandez au Saint-Esprit de vous convaincre que vous péchez car la tristesse qui est bonne aux yeux de Dieu produit un changement d’attitude qui conduit au salut et qu’on ne regrette pas(3).

Repentez-vous et Dieu s’approchera de vous. Il vous amènera à vivre en sa présence dans la joie d’être à lui pour toujours.

LE REVE DU JAGUAR

Par Miguel Bonnefoy

Aux Editions Rivages

Quand une mendiante muette de Maracaibo, au Venezuela, recueille un nouveau-né sur les marches d’une église, elle ne se doute pas du destin hors du commun qui attend l’orphelin. Élevé dans la misère, Antonio sera tour à tour vendeur de cigarettes, porteur sur les quais, domestique dans une maison close avant de devenir, grâce à son énergie bouillonnante, un des plus illustres chirurgiens de son pays. Une compagne d’exception l’inspirera. Ana Maria se distinguera comme la première femme médecin de la région. Ils donneront naissance à une fille qu’ils baptiseront du nom de leur propre nation : Venezuela. Liée par son prénom autant que par ses origines à l’Amérique du Sud, elle n’a d’yeux que pour Paris. Mais on ne quitte jamais vraiment les siens. C’est dans le carnet de Cristobal, dernier maillon de la descendance, que les mille histoires de cette étonnante lignée pourront, enfin, s’ancrer. Dans cette saga vibrante aux personnages inoubliables, Miguel Bonnefoy campe dans un style flamboyant le tableau, inspiré de ses ancêtres, d’une extraordinaire famille dont la destinée s’entrelace à celle du Venezuela.

Voici la Lyrics Vidéo d'Oblivious à découvrir :

[lectures-du-vampire-aigri]

« Je m’appelle Mary Katherine Blackwood. J’ai dix-huit ans, et je vis avec ma sœur, Constance. J’ai souvent pensé qu’avec un peu de chance, j’aurais pu naître loup-garou, car à ma main droite comme à la gauche, l’index est aussi long que le majeur, mais j’ai dû me contenter de ce que j’avais. Je n’aime pas me laver, je n’aime pas les chiens, et je n’aime pas le bruit. J’aime bien ma sœur Constance, et Richard Plantagenêt, et l’amanite phalloïde, le champignon qu’on appelle le calice de la mort. Tous les autres membres de ma famille sont décédés. »

Dans ce livre, le lecteur est entraîné dans l'univers gothique et étrange de Merricat, sans savoir qu’il assiste en réalité à la naissance d’une légende urbaine. S’il est difficile de saisir la logique de cette famille, le charme reste présent grâce à l’écriture de Jackson et, unique, il continue de hanter même une fois le roman terminé.

• une question sur cette lecture ? • anecdote - La biographe de Shirley Jackson, Judy Oppenheimer, pose un parallèle entre l’agoraphobie, un des thèmes du roman, et la propre agoraphobie de Jackson. Elle voit également en Merricat et Constance une sorte de yin et de yang de l’auteure. • suggestion de lecture - La maison hantée

My own personal issue personally with Les Contes d'Hoffmann in my personal opinion

This started off as me taking about how much I love Jessye Norman as Giulietta in this recording but not anymore anyways here's me being annoyed at the Keyes edition of Les Contes d'Hoffmann and other things also.

I had never experienced love until I begun listening to Oeser's edition of the tales of Hoffmann. I really stan Offenbach, but I have to say that, imo, the changes that Oeser presents for Giulietta's act are just superior. His version, simply put, takes the hideously cut up story that the Choudens provided us and music from Offenbach's failed opera Die Rheinnixen. With that, he adds two game changers: Hoffmann losing to Schlemiel in cards and Giulietta tricking Hoffmann.

There's more obvi but these are the changes that I think are the most important.

Giulietta's aria (linked above) proves her character to be more intelligent and clever than in the other two versions. I mean, in those ones the entire process of Giulietta getting Hoffmann is like:

she says "ily so u gotta leave" Hoffmann is like "no because I love u lalala o dieu de quelle ivresse" and she's like "chile ok give me ur reflection " and he's like "aight heart eyes cat emoji"

I have to give the Micheal Keyes edition (the one most accurate to og intentions) some credit, because Giulietta's couplets (below) in it do include a process of tempting Hoffmann. However, I find that the whole act flows weirdly and is quite convoluted.

eThe aforementioned couplets were composed by Offenbach on my birthday! It's really ironic that I don't like them.

Anyways, here are the lyrics for Giulietta's aria in Oesers edition. (english translation beneath)

Nº 20. Air

Giulietta [elle s'asseoit sur le divan, près du miroir]

Qui connaît donc la souffrance

dont mon âme est affligée!

Chacun fuit ce malheur immense

d'une existence enchainée!

Comme les vagues du rivage

rongent les madriers usés,

je ronge les barreaux de ma cage,

mais malgré tout mon courage,

l'espoir ne m'est pas donné...

Ah, si seulement de cet outrage,

je me libérais!

Ah! si une fois seulement

une fois quelqu'un me secourait! Ah!

Ah, si cet homme m'accordait grâce,

à moi, un être infame!

Bonheur de marcher sur ses traces,

moi, sienne de corps et âme!

-

Who then knows of the suffering

which my soul is afflicted by?

Everyone flees from the immense misfortune

of an enchained existence!

Like how the waves on a shore

eat away at worn planks,

I gnaw at the bars of my cage,

but despite all my courage,

I'm not given hope...

Ah, if only from this outrage,

I could be free!

Ah, if just once,

just once somebody could save me,

Ah, if this man could grant me mercy,

to me, an infamous being!

Happiness to follow in this footsteps,

me, to be his in body and soul.

-

full libretto: http://opera.stanford.edu/Offenbach/Hoffmann/acte4.html

In this aria Giulietta describes how, despite her best efforts to escape this cage, (whatever that means) only a man can save her. Woe is she, as no other man has been courageous enough.

For context, Hoffmann just faced his devastating loss to Schlemiel. You can expect that when Giulietta gives him the chance to redeem himself and earn her love, Hoffmann desperately agrees.

I'm gonna go off a little but, but I find that the major flaw in every production of Les Contes d'Hoffmann that I've seen is that the story feels fake. I think directors spend so much time trying to make the 3 main acts fantastical and cool and crazy that they forget that they are supposed to be based off of a reality. The stories don't connect, there are no signs of anything affecting anything else. The most I've seen is the metropolitan opera bringing the pink dolls back in the end of Giulietta's act.

They miss a crucial part of the story; how do these three women connect to one another? How do they come together to become Stella?

Some believe that these are three entirely separate women, but I won't indulge in that as I am not of that perspective :D

Like at the end of each of these acts, all the characters press reset and I feel like I get whiplash. Nothing that just happened even matters, because we're onto the next lady. There's the barest reference to previous events in the text, but the effects of those events are rarely ever shown. How could being objectified as Olympia affect Antonia's behaviour? What about Giulietta's? How does Spalanzani and the obsession with physics change Hoffmann's perspective on love throughout the opera? These are questions that should be asked when creating anything with a narrative; how does x interact with y?

With that, I come back to why I love this version of Les Contes d'Hoffmann. The superficial, shallow and misogynistic values of the society in Olympia's act taught Hoffmann that women are but an object at the will of men. In this aria, Giulietta weaponizes the ideologies that previously oppressed her against one of her main oppressors (edit: not in a violent way. but he does have a pattern of generally not treating her like a a complex human being). She proves herself to not only be a ruthless manipulator, but intrinsically linked to her past self. It gives the existence of Olympia's act a reason to be within the story.

Individually, sure, Olympia's act is effective as a satire of our society. But making it essentially inconsequential is robbing this opera of the nuance and complexity that it holds.

This little rant doesn't even begin to cover my interpretations of this story, because this recording that I base them on is three and a half hours long and the tales of Hoffmann is one of the most vague operas out there. However, I hope that it was useful to you in whatever way that may be!

Also mind that I haven't watched every single production of Les Contes d'Hoffmann, and that I do have ones that I love dearly despite the flaws I describe here.

Please let me know what you think! please! :D

(If you got here, thank you for reading this!)
