"All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered."

Spooktober 26 – The Black Monk (1)

Anton Chekhov (1860–1904) was a Russian physician, short-story writer and playwright, and I’m not particularly fond of him, though he’s widely regarded as one of the greatest masters of modern short fiction and who am I to argue? His work is celebrated for its psychological

Beauty and Ugliness: an exhibition

A few pictures from the recently closed exhibition on Beauty and Ugliness as an aesthetic paradigma in which what’s ideal and what’s grotesque melt together as sides of the same coin. The exhibition featured works by Brueghel (lent from the other exhibition at Palazzo Reale),

    E mai dedica poteva essere più gradita. christopher Walken possiede lo “shining”. anche la pellicola più assurda, con la sua stralunata presenza sfiora le vette della Poesia e dell’Assurdo. Grazie.

    Chérie,

    adoro il contenebbia.

    Ma posso essere geloso?

    Vorrei lo stesso trattamento.

    Bisous, Your Robert

    Conte, sapevo che avrebbe apprezzato, come io ho apprezzato moltissimo il Suo gentile contro-omaggio. E Hokusai è una delle mie passioni, come ha indovinato.

    Caro Robert, quando mi capiterà tra le mani qualcosa che si accordi degnamente a te e al tuo bellissimo laboratorio (magari qualche chicca su Conrad), non mancherò di dedicartelo. Nell’attesa, non essere geloso. *__^

    Christopher Walken è sempre stato un mito, per me. Anche in film come “La zona morta”, per fare un esempio.

    Anche nei film commerciali, vederlo mi dà un brivido.

    ciao

    E’ veramente grande. Come non amarlo in ruoli allucinati come il disinfestatore di Un topolino sotto sfratto (con un grande Nathan Lane, tra l’altro)? O come non adorare il suo ruolo in Prova a prendermi? Per non parlare del “sorriso” in Sleepy Hollow…

    Quasi quanto Jeremy Irons. Capace di recitare in gigantesche vaccate senza perdere lo stile.
