Hateship Loveship....

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).

The art of destroying a beautiful house with paint....

The summer house built in 1980 was, on the outside, originally painted in black color, including the two supporting beams (a rather important architectural detail !).

The interiors were once covered with quality pine ..floor, walls, ceiling !

Waste of money, waste of paint....and irreversible. 

Here a little "left-over" as a reminder of the beauty of pine

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.
