Greetings friends,
maybe u'v noticed my absence starting this May and Cannes.
Due to technology accidents which i am prone and master chif inspecteur Clouseau, as im the grandmasterfunk of typo-s, i got loccked out of my blog due to various accounts not working. Finally after a hard try on a hor summer Sardegnian day -on which my IT CEO Vlad tried his best but quit, he tried again ona cold November Brasov night. Und he succeded !
Great succes, as our Borat friend uss to say.
Thank thee, Filed Commander of my tech strategies, Vlad !

am scris pe FB pe 3 iulie, all shattered. blogul era praf atunci...republic...
"Michael Cimino est mort, en paix, entouré des siens et de ces deux femmes qui l'aimaient. Nous l'aimions aussi. " tweeted Thierry Fremaux. Totally agreed on the love, unconditional in this case from my part. As flawed as a Mythical director can be, whose failure (Heaven's Gate) is greater than his success (Deer Hunter). Pity no one could spend some money on him in 2 decades (since Sunchaser, 1986). I'm sure it would've been money well spent on film history (Marlaux' Human Condition, Ayn Rand's Fountainhead being just two favorites on his wish list). Goodnight,Michael...
PATERSON de Jim Jarmusch, un film superb si cald despre poezie, si anume cea pe care o scrie un sofer de autobuz (Adam Driver), este cel mai bin primit si cotat de pina aucm din competitia oficiala (alaturi de Sieranevada si Toni Erdman).
produs de Amazon Studios :+
Jarmusch, cu 4 premii pina cum (Grand Prix in 2005 pentru Broken Flowers), poate noul Palme D'or ?
Din nou schimb cotatiile, pentru ca, da am vazut numai filme bune si acum Paterson e numero 1 in lista de preferinte. Dar nu am vazut inca Refn, Almodovar, Dardenne, Verhoeven, Sean Penn, cele de care sunt interesat si care inca nu au fost inca proiectate. Si de recuperat Toni Erdman la final.
un clip din film aici:
"DACA ESTI DESTEPT, NU FI PROST" / If you're smart, don't be DUMB"
best words i've heard in a while on screen and off.
the debut of Bogdan Mirica (Bora Bora), Câini, is an outback western set in Dobrogea which has not much in common with Romanian minimalism, but confronts the genre conventions and defies them.
Dragos Bucur as Roman,Gheorghe Visu as Hogas in a Kitano mode, Vlad Ivanov as his creepiest best as Samir, a touch of Evileast, Costel Cascaval as Pila, brilliant, Raluca Aprodu as the girlfriend, Teo Corban as the Vet.
Great widescreen cinematography bu Andrei Butica. Atmospeheric music.
Featuring a leg. The lower part. In a boot. (like Lynch presented an ear in Blue Velvet).
and a great fanstastic dog, Cara as Politia, that i hope it'll get a Palm DOG !!!
0 -but then i saw Nellie, the dog from Paterson and hmmm, that is the winner...
My riffs: Wake in Fright and a whole Oz fest, No Country for Old Men, Blood Simple, The Searchers, so forth.
