20th Century Women....

Greta Gerwig, Elle Fanning, and Annette Bening in Santa Barbara

Got the Californian feeling....but the 1970`s (?), were just not there. Life is as unpredictable as the next decade, and that´s the nice thing about "our" story. Liberating to see an aging movie star without traces of plastic surgery. Elle Fanning (?) ....a star on the rise ! A very good independent film by Mike Mills.

Sameblod....

Elle Marja (Lene Cecilia Sparrok) stuck between two worlds, and steady like a mountain.

Racism has always a history....especially when elevated to science with state participation. Very dark clouds in Sweden's history and the best film from these latitudes for some years. Directed by Amanda Kernell.

Elvis Costello at Konserthuset....

Konserthuset, Februari 23, 2017   photo: GP

I remember Costello from the early 1980's. Never really understood his music, and always had the perception that the music and the singing, sometimes, went separate ways ? Anyway....after a bit more than two hours alone on the stage, you have to surrender to this great performer. I was far from understanding all his lyrics, but I had the feeling that he meant what he was singing....(his very deep-British sense of humor, not to forget).

Best in show: Watching the Detectives (and the TV-screen)

HMV....

..quite boring these days (closed February 5, 2019), However it seems that the shop will reopen by the end of 2023 and replace an American candy (!) shop....that is good news for London (and public health). 😊
