Lunana, a Yak in the classroom....

 ..which are the roads to contentedness and meaning...?

Brilliant....

"20th Century Women"

Late 70`s....another era with more simplicity. For some reason, it was the fourth time I saw this pearl. A great film (and acting) about....life ☀️

The Swedish masterpiece....

Fanny & Alexander - the long version, 5 hours long...a delight in beauty, joy, (evil) and acting. Bergman knew the Swedish "frame of mind" inside and out. To enjoy (and understand) this film in its original language....is a privilege.

The photography by Sven Nykvist needs no words.

So long, Marianne....

Hydra in the early 1960’s....

Das Leben der Anderen....

.."Nein. Das ist für mich”

Cinema São Jorge....

Space....

Attacking soon...?

Das weiße Band....

Northern Germany around 1913 - but could be anywhere in Europe. Poverty, religion, guilt, evil, dependence, injustice.... were common social ingredients. A very good film by Michael Haneke 👌

Deutsche Kinemathek....

.. with a very nice exhibition 👌 

Die Verlorene Ehre der Katharina Blum....

..50 years later, another time....different lies

Hermannstrasse....

Die Strasse....

Babelsberg....

..illusions

Illusions perdues....

"je pense à ceux qui doivent en eux trouver quelque chose après le désenchantement"

Babylon Berlin....

Gereon (Volker Bruch) und Charlotte (Liv Lisa Fries)

Berlin, Berlin....harte zeiten, eine dunkle schönheit, einer verlorenen zeit. A very well-made (expensive !) TV series capturing the city's late 20s atmosphere 👏

5 x Chaplin....

..and not a boring second 😊

The Kid, 1921

The Gold Rush, 1925

City Lights, 1931

Modern Times, 1936

Limelight, 1952

Another year....

Ken (Peter Wight) and Mary (Lesley Manville) 

As time goes by, masked solitude becomes an inevitable destiny for some. The spectator goes throughout the movie with a tiny smile....and in the very last scene, that transforms into a total eclipse.

Of course...British acting at its very best !

Unforgettable scenes....

 

"Inglourious basterds" ¨- and Christoph Waltz in the Italian scene 😂

Midnight in Paris....

Gil and Adriana (Owen Wilson / Marion Cotillard) have just landed in La Belle Époque..

Honesty, I could take a seat on that time machine....dreamy and pleasant - and Madame Cotillard is just superb.
