Black crust....


..was a common view in the cities of Europe due to the combustion of fossil fuels. Today, the air quality is so much better that buildings and statues covered with a black crust are a rarity.

DR Koncerthuset....


Copenhagen, 2009, by Jean Nouvel (click to enlarge)

Warning: Do not leave your seat during a show. You may not find your way back ! A bit too much design....and less function. A complicated building indeed.

Boomerang....

Laurent Lafitte and Mélanie Laurent

Life is a boomerang and secrets and lies are a bit like submersed cork.... 
A good film by François Fravat.

Bryan Ferry at DR Koncertsalen....


Copenhagen, Koncerthuset, May 13, 2016

One day this gentleman will be missed....until then, his music is still as good as ever; clever, melodic, intricate, and always with a touch of elegance and distance. Best in show: "Avonmore", "Virginia Plain", "Jealous Guy", "Oh Yeah", "Take a Chance with Me"....and all the rest.

See you soon again Mr. Ferry & Co...!

Bryan Ferry Live 2015....


Recorded during the 2015 Avonmore Tour....and actually - BF first solo live album (!). A precious CD loaded with pearls.

Bryan Ferry at Gothia Towers....


Göteborg, May 3, 2016

Bryan Ferry - Vocals & Keyboards
Paul Beard - Band leader & Keyboards
Jacob Quistgaard - Guitar
Neil Hubbard - Guitar
Jimmy Sims - Bass
Jorja Chalmers - Saxophones & Keyboards
Luke Bullen - Drums
Lucy Wilkins - Violin
Fonzi Thornton - Backing Vocals
   Bobbie Gordon - Backing Vocal

Best in show: "Stronger Through the Years", "Take a Chance with Me"....and all the rest.
Jorja Chalmers handles the instrument with perfection in Tara, and Fonzi shines through the whole evening (he is truly a showman).
Pity such a boring audience with a total lack of energy.  

See you again in Copenhagen....

Eye in the sky....


Intelligence and war in the shape of a video game. The mode of suffering is still the same, but far away from the firing button. A film by Gavin Hood with an overplaying Helen Mirren. Allan Rickman`s final film....

John Cleese at Konserthuset.....

"last time to see me before i die"



bad photo..(use your imagination)..and goodbye Mr. Fawlty !

A trip (and a laugh) through Python, Fawlty Towers, sex, race, violence, death and political correctness. We got to see his favorite scene throughout Fawlty Towers, the one with Luan Peters and the switcher....and I fully agree with that. Two hours of quality entertainment. 

" a sense of humor....is a sense of proportion"

El Clan....


Human (violent) behavior in the suburbs of understanding. The heavy legacy of an evil system. A film by Pablo Trapero with an ice-cold Guillermo Francella.

Le tout nouveau testament....


..Pili Groyne as Ea

The idea of "death leaks" is interesting....and would change life dramatically (for the better ?). "God" as a male is apparently the source of the problem....but nothing charming Ea couldn't solve. A film by Jaco van Dormael....(was the creation process enhanced by any substance ?)

10 mars 2016

Spotlight....


A good film ....but next time I will avoid the candy-bag-rustling-popcorn-chewing-movie-theater-for-disturbing-people.

Deutschland 83....


..Jonas Nay as Martin

..highly recommendable !
