#harriet lourd.

[gauloisevs]

apenas y volvió a encogerse de hombros, en un gesto casi imperceptible. a harriet la opinión de arlo —y la de la mayoría, en realidad— poco le importaba, en parte porque sabía lo que hacía. "suenas como mi mamá" respondió, aletargada como siempre, mas había cierto destello en su mirada que dejaba entrever que era se trataba de un chiste. "bien, tal vez lo soy... pero tú lo dices como si fuese algo malo" señaló. "permíteme dudar... veamos cuánto tardas en servirte otra cosa, o fumarte algo" solamente buscaba molestarlo, en realidad.

' la cerveza también emborracha y causa dolor de cabeza ' quizás no tan rápido como la bebida blanca, pero eventualmente lo hacía. de todas formas, dudaba que harriet se emborrachara. ese era él y su poco autocontrol con los gin tonic. ' ¿por qué? ¿piensas que te miento? de verdad estaba bien hasta ese último trago ' insistió porque no quería quedar como un imbécil, aunque lo fuese. ' sí, sí es inmaculada. no seas modesta ' chasqueó la lengua. ' yo tengo sentido común. por eso dejé de beber en cuanto empezó a dolerme la cabeza. ¿no ves? así cuido tu reputación, la mía y la de la banda. '

"en realidad tengo calor" corrigió, ya algo hastiada con el clima propio de ciudades como esa. harriet detestaba el verano, sobre todo cuando le tocaba vivirlo en una jungla de concreto en donde la única sombra disponible era la de los rascacielos. la vida citadina no era para ella, pero al menos el parque ofrecía un poco de alivio a sus tribulaciones. acomodó la bolsa de souvenirs que llevaba al hombro y soltó un suspiro cansino. "¿acaso tienes frío?" se atrevió a preguntar, en un tono más indiferente que inquisitivo.

‘ ¿tienes frío? ’ pregunta a su acompañante en tanto se inclina levemente en su dirección, sin invadir demasiado el espacio personal ajeno. ‘ puedo prestarte mi chaqueta, no es problema, estoy bien abrigado porque no me gusta mucho el frío. ’

📍 central park.

On December 18, 2015 The Force Awakens was released, which was the first theatrical Star Wars film not to be based on a story by George Lucas. The events in the film took place 30 years after the events in Return of the Jedi. Between the gap, Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) had started a new Jedi Accademy but then went into exile when he pushed Princess Leia's (Carrie Fisher) and Han Solo's (Harrison Ford) son Ben Solo/Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) to the Dark Side. Han Solo, unable to deal with the loss of his son, went back into space with Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew). Princess Leia kept herself busy with C-3PO (Anthony Daniels), Admiral Ackbar (Tim Rose & Erik Bauersfeld) Nien Nund (Mike Quinn) and the Rebellion fighting against the First Order, which was the replacement of the Empire and lead by the mysterious Supreme Leader Snoke (Andy Serkis). Besides Kylo Ren, Snoke was served by Emperial officers like General Hux (Domhnall Gleeson) and Captain Phasma (Gwendoline Christie). The instalment introduced new recurring characters such as desert orphan Rey (Daisy Ridley), rogue Imperial soldier Finn (John Boyega), X-Wing pilots Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) and Snap Wexley (Greg Grunberg), rebel officer Lt Connix (Billie Lourd) and underworld contact Maz Kanata (Lupita Nyong'o). There were also cameos by Max von Sydow, Simon Pegg, Warwick Davis, Harriet Walter, Thomas Brodie-Sangster and Daniel Craig. The action mainly took place at Jakku, Takodana, D'Qar, Hosnian, Star Killer Base, and Ach-To. Harrison Ford finally got his wish of Han Solo being killed off. The film was praised for returning to a dirty looking universe and use of practical effects, but criticized by the plot following too closely to Star Wars Episode IV A New Hope. ("Star Wars Episode VII The Force Awakens", Star Wars Film Event)

[tilbageidanmark]

Movies I watched this Week #128 (Year 3/Week 24):

Nils Malmros’s Tree of knowledge (”Kundskabens træ”) has always been my favorite Danish movie, and also one of my general All-time Top-Five favorites - Ever. Together with Truffault’s ‘Small Change’, it’s also the best movie about the pains of puberty and the joys of adolescence.

It was hard to find online, and seeing it again after many years, is like meeting an old lover after 40 years apart, and they hasn’t age a day. It’s a perfect masterpiece without a single faulty frame.

A nostalgic trip to provincial Århus at the end of the 1950′s, Malmros spent two years filming a group of teens as they struggle with first loves and heartbreaks. A tragic story of innocent lost. (Photo Above).

Later Edit:

A second viewing the next day confirmed that it is indeed an impeccable classic, subtle and precise. So many Friday night jazz parties where for their first time the kids are allowed to dance in the dark cheek to cheek to Gershwin’s ‘The man I love’.

“You probably don’t get that there’s only has to be very little for people to talk”:  The misery that befalls Erin as she turns from the popular girl into a pariah is crushing. 10/10.

🍿   Lourdes, my 1st film by Austrian filmmaker Jessica Hausner, starring the incomparable Léa Seydoux as a young nun with a twinkle in her eye. A rarely seen subject of Catholic cripples and handicapped pilgrims who flock to the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes, searching for a miracle. With priests who look like Cardinal Mahoney, Holy water sprinkled around and piously praying invalids, it feels very much like a blanding of Buñuel and Haneke. It must have been shot with the permission of the church, as much of it looks like part of the real rituals going on there. However, it hides a certain unorthodox subversiveness. 7/10. 

🍿   

2 more by British director Michael Radford:

🍿 “...If you want a vision of the future, Winston, imagine a boot stamping on a human face forever...”

Nineteen Eighty-Four, the original hopeless dystopia. Orwell’s frightening vision of totalitarianism, mass surveillance, thought-police and total repression was anti-Stalinist when he wrote it, but it became a real-life blue-print for today’s hyper-Capitalist societies too.

Many of the scenes were shot on the days noted originally in the novel. The scene where Winston Smith writes in his diary, dating the entry April 4, 1984, was filmed on April 4, 1984. It was Richard Burton’s final film, and was photographed by Roger Deakins. 9/10.

Terry Gilliam’s ‘Brazil’ came a year later and also described a doomed love story in a cheerless bureaucratic nightmare. But unlike Brazil, 1984 had only dark and painful reality to deal with, no flights of surrealism and fancy.

"...Oranges and lemons, Say the bells of St. Clement's.  You owe me five farthings, Say the bells of St. Martin's...”

🍿 Lovable 80-year-olds Shirley MacLaine and Christopher Plummer fall in love in New Orleans in Elsa and Fred. He’s reserved and bitter, she’s exuberant and over-whelming, and there’s a Picasso drawing of her that is used as ‘Chekhov’s gun’.  Also, it was George Segal’s last film. 5/10.

I love it when an unusual musical note in a movie signifys an emotional high-point, and when checking the clock, it’s exactly 47:30 minutes in - the middle of the movie!

Maybe it’s time to watch Fellini’s ‘8 1/2′ again [The Anita Ekberg dive in the Trevi Fountain is the film’s driver].

🍿

The Farewell Party (’Good Death’ in Hebrew) is a tragic-comic story about old age and mercy killing. A group of seniors at an assisted living home develop a machine for self-euthanasia. They reluctantly use it on one of their dying friends, but once the word gets around, more and more people want it. 7/10. 

🍿   First watch: Bergman’s magnetic, early romance film Summer with Monika. It was considered scandalous at the time, because of “frank” nude scenes. Star-making vehicle to young rebel Harriet Andersson (still alive and 91-year-old). 100% score on ‘Rotten Tomatoes’ and no argument from me there. Terrific Mise-en-scène, crisp cinematography and rich visual story-telling.

It featured Åke Fridell (’Plog’ from ‘The Seventh Seal’) as her father. On the official Bergman site, there’s a good list of many of his other collaborators.

[There are some early Bergman’s films I haven’t seen yet, which I have to remedy ASAP] 🍿

2 more with Robert De Nero: 

🍿 Sergio Leone’s last, overrated film, Once upon a time in America, the 229-min. Cut. It’s a crime saga about Jewish gangsters, a Spaghetti Godfather if you will, but it doesn’t hold a candle to Coppola’s. ‘The Godfather’ is perfect in spirit and execution, and every element in it works. Leone’s facsimile is epic and stylish, but most of it feels like a vacant rip-off. Some good performance from De Nero, and some great romantic scenes (Jennifer Connelly reading the Psalms, and reuniting with Deborah again), but the young characters (and many of the others, including wooden James Wood) are bland and unauthentic.

Without Ennio Morricone’s swiping score elevating every scene it plays with, the film wouldn’t get half the accolades it received. And the brutal, unprovoked rape scene was shocking and uncalled for. Not a superb film - 5/10. 

RIP, Treat Williams!

🍿 Ellis, a short (15 min.) poetic evocation of the large hospital complex in Ellis Island. Basically it’s Robert De Nero, “The immigrant”, walking slowly in abandoned corridors, accompanied by some vaguely-moody piano chords, reciting in a somber voice-over some vaguely impressionist lines about dreams and immigrants and yearnings. 1/10.

🍿 

2 very different documentaries:

🍿 Close to Vermeer is a very moving Dutch documentary about the staging and preparation of last year’s Rijksmuseum Vermeer exhibition, the largest ever mounted. Only 34 paintings are universally attributed to him today, and the museum’s curators were able to bring a total of 28 of them for this magnificent event. Scholars and researchers, collectors and art historians participate in this sober, quiet and passionate exploration of the enigmatic 'Sphinx of Delft‘.

Close to transcendence - 10/10.

(The trailer in inferior to the film itself.)

[This is the 3rd Vermeer film that I’ve seen (after Penn & Teller’s documentary ‘Tim’s Vermeer’ and Scarlett Johansson’s ‘Girl with a Pearl Earring’, both terrific!). As a completist, I now discovered 6 more films that I will watch in the near future: ‘All The Vermeers In New York’, ‘Brush with fate’, Dan Friedkin‘s ‘The last Vermeer’ (That one sounds odd!), the Dutch ‘A real Vermeer’, and two more documentaries, ‘Vermeer: Master of Light’ narrated by Meryl Streep, and the newest ‘Vermeer: The Greatest Exhibition’, about this same exhibition at the Rijksmuseum. Can’t wait!]

🍿 The art of the prank is a fun 2015 documentary about provocative Culture Jammer Joey Skaggs, who had been staging elaborate media pranks since the 60′s. Like previous hoaxers ‘Coyle and Sharpe’, and later ones ‘Yes Men’ and ‘Improv Everywhere’, he builds ‘Fake news’ performances art events, designed to stir shit and embarrass the inane world of television news. Things like ‘Cathouse for dogs’, ‘Celebrity sperm bank’ and ‘Comacocoon’.

🍿  Hacksaw Ridge, my first film directed by known homophobe / antisemite Mel Gibson. [Watched after encouragement from Ahmad]. I’m not big on war dramas, even when they’re about a real-life conscientious objector. Trying to combine the opening from ‘Saving Private Ryan’ with ‘Full Metal Jacket’ boot camp hysterics. But I still can’t stand Andrew Garfield, Vince Vaughn is no Lee Ermey, and the war parts were simply not interesting. 4/10.

🍿 

“I Really Don’t Like Netflix” X 2:

🍿 Inside the mind of a cat, a typically-trash Netflix documentary, narrated by a highly-irritating “pleasant” voice. The only way to endure it is by turning of the sound and reading the subtitles. Lazy and un-inteligent, but “Hey: Cats!” - The second most-common reason to go on the internet.

🍿 After years of anticipation, Season 6 of Black Mirror finally dropped. Was it as good as some of the previous ones? An Emphatic No!

Episode 1, ‘Joan is awful’, was awful. An average woman is stunned to discover that Netflix has launched a prestige TV drama adaptation of her life, in which she is portrayed by Salma Hayek, and taking a shit in a church. Inception-like Meta-Netflix labyrinth with an unlikable cast making fun of themselves. 3/10.

Episode 2, ‘Loch Henry’, a meta-making of a True Crime series about a notorious serial killer who tortured his victims in a quaint faraway Scottish village. Unoriginal horror tale. 2/10.

Episode 3, ‘Beyond the sea’ too was sub-par on every level. A sadistic sci-fi, all superficial with no depth of emotions. Using Charles Trenet’s “La Mer” improves any movie immeasurably, from the opening to LA Story to the ending of Mr. Bean. But here, in a typical Netflix appropriation, it felt 100% fake. 2/10.

Episode 4, ‘Mazey Day’: Another hit-and-run thriller + unscrupulous paparazzi + LA Thomas Guide (which means it’s the early 2000′s!) which turns into a gory ‘American werewolf in London’ fantasy-thingy. 4/10.

The set up of Episode 5, ‘Demon 79′ was ridiculous: “A young Indian Sales Assistant accidentally frees a ruthless and handsome demon-in-training who is required to damn a soul to hell in order to become a full-fledged demon. The sales assistant is told she must kill three people for the demon-in-training, with the demon threatening to cause a nuclear apocalypse if she refuses”. But it was the only episode in this season that worked, and the only one that will be worth re-visiting. It was directed by the guy who also did ‘USS Callister’, another absurd concept that he got right. 8/10.

🍿 

2 shorts from ‘Nag:

🍿 Morocco Arise, by nomadic vlogger Brandon Li. His ‘Director Commentary’ was just as captivating.

🍿 Greenpeace takes aim at “fossil fuel party” with Don’t stop, a star-studded Fleetwood Mac cover. Exec-produced by Steve McQueen.

🍿 

Throw-back to the "Art project”:  

1984 Adora.

Adora with the pearl earring.

Black Mirror Adora.

7, 8, 9, & 10?

Good  set of questions!!!7.Favorite actor of the year?  That is a tough question, i love so many actors and So many deserve top spot. But this year i want to give it to Karen Gillan. She was perfect in the MCU as Nebula. And Nebula is my all time favorite character from those films. She was also great in Jumanji the next level.  Right now Cynthia Erivo is coming to my mind, she is another top contender. I mean have you heard her voice and seen Harriet? She is truly amazing!! And how could i forget Billie Lourd? 8.Game of the year?  No question about it Resident Evil 2… remake. I am a huge Resident evil fan!!! Plus i don’t play games that much anymore. 9.Best month for you this year? The year kind of ran by fast, when you work everyday. But i’ll say September i guess? I was MVT employee of the month (again) And i switched my job title. I became head cashier and just did new things.10.Something that made you cry this year?  I cry in some movies, and i can tell you a list of good movies to cry to . But besides movies, i think i only cried one time this year. It was when i got home from work, the day my mum called to tell me Oliver (my dog) pushed out the window screen and jumped out. My Chihuahua jumped out a 6 foot window, and was lost for atleast an hour. Coming home to my baby hurt and scared. The thought I could have lost him, i was  devastated. Thank you for the questions!
