Intentioner....
"Det har sagts av en kritiker, att interiören är ett konstverk men att den icke har karaktären av en domstolsbyggnad utan av en sydländsk badortshall (?). Här, säger han, där människor går väntande på dom, tyngda av bekymmer, borde karaktären vara allvarligare, tyngre, mera sluten. Avsikten har medvetet varit det motsatta: just därför, att människor här gå fyllda av oro och ängslan, har ett vänligt, soligt ljus släppts in. Det har varit arkitektens uppfattning, att öppenheten, solen, blommorna, över huvud taget det mänskliga, lättare än det stängda, stela och officiella i karaktären kan föra en över från tvedräkt och ängslan till försoning eller åtminstone resignation."

Restaurante Narciso....
Praia de Carcavelos, winter sun in February, listening to the sound of the waves....

The broken circle breakdown....
Johan Heldenbergh and Veerle Baetens
Enjoy while it lasts. Life can change direction without a choice, and one day we have to face the rear of the train while it disappears in the horizon....to never come back. Great performances from the two above, and that last scene is heartbreaking....and unforgettable.
A film by Felix van Groeningen, IMDB

Clouds of Sils Maria....
Madame Binoche acts like a chameleon and gets the right color everywhere - anytime. Her performance overshadows the story....but that is a price worth paying. Kristen Stewart does a great supporting role, and it was ages ago I saw Angela Winkler on the screen. Aging is a tough task, the sense of loss is a constant companion....but what are the alternatives ?
A film by Olivier Assayas, IMDB

The National - Trouble will find me....
2.jpg)
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.

"A morte de Carlos Gardel"....

A very good film by Solveig Nordlund, about a devastating reality that harvested so many young lives in four decades, here
After a book by António Lobo Antunes, who I presume once lived in this house in Benfica where a few scenes were recorded.

"The imitation game"....
Keira Knightley, Matthew Beard, Benedict Cumberbatch, Matthew Goode and Allen Leech
British acting at its best and a story with a sad ending....and one should wonder who is crucified right now in the name of whatever. The official public apology that arrived more than fifty years after his suicide, was indeed a great demonstration of state hypocrisy.
A film by Morten Tyldum, IMDB
