Kristen Wiig 

A story told by women; Alice Munro - short story, Liza Johnson - director, and an excellent Kristen Wiig playing the main role. A film about inner strength, patience and acceptance (we are definitely talking about women).

"Il capitale umano"....

Valeria Bruno Tedeschi (Carla), having it all in a hole of emptiness

"Avete scommesso sulla rovina di questo paese e avete vinto". An excellent film by Paolo Virzì.

The National - Trouble will find me....

This album is a pearl from the beginning to the end. There is an aura of sadness, a dark cloud suspended in the sound - mixed with a clear string of hope in Matt Berninger's voice. Sometimes I can hear the influences of Joy Division, and that is another exquisite attribute of this CD.

Some days are much better than others....

La Grande Bellezza....

Jep Gambardella....a master in the art of relaxation

..so subtle, beautiful and memorable. A treasure of hidden messages and the prettiest of pictures. Like the best wines....it will only get better with age. By the way....Toni Servillo is just fabulous (if anyone could miss that).

"Gloria"....

..a film by Sebastián Lelio.

One of the better women portraits of the last decades...."she lives the moment fully", and Paulina García is worth every single gram of that Silver Bear...!
