About "La tourneuse de pages" and Marcel Proust
Watched a fabulous French psychological thriller this weekend. La tourneuse de pages" (The Page Turner) about the vengeance of a very talented girl who's refused for the conservatory due to the fact that one of the committee members (a famous female pianist) distracts her and she starts missing notes. Amazing how a director can make a movie in ( Read more... ) -
Cemetery Junction
This is a movie to look forward to!
Cemetery Junction, Ricky Gervais first movie.
The teaser alone is hilarious!
Two of my idols, Ralph Fiennes and Ricky Gervais, together in a movie, what a treat. :) -
Dan In Real Life **
I'm terribly sorry, dearest daughter of mine, I know you enjoyed this movie, but I couldn't get into it at all. I can only give it two stars out of ten. Generation gap, perhaps? ;) I thought it boring, hardly ever funny and not at all romantic... I mean, we're talking romantic comedy here, right? The predictability of the plot, the lack of ( Read more... ) -
Coco avant Chanel
Yesterday evening after a fun dinner at Vapiano we spontaneously checked to see if there was a movie worth going to in the cinema at the other end of the square (the one where I watched P&P with fiorelina). We already went to "The Reader" (it pleased me that it was still on!), and didn't feel like going to "Duplicity" since I'm one of those few people who ( Read more... ) -
A Room with a View 2007 versus...
...the 1985 adaptation. Read the book again recently, and watched both movie adaptations. Can't help it, I can't get enough of this sweet little gem of English literature about coming of age of a girl from a bourgeois fin de siècle English background ( Read more... ) -
The Young Victoria... Review and pictures
Just lovely! Ok, perhaps the movie didn't have great depth, here and there there were historical inaccuracies, the score wasn't altogether to my taste, and sometimes there's too much fast forwarding particularly during the last minutes of the movie that are filled with somewhat annoying inter-titles. But nothing could spoil my enjoyment: the story ( Read more... ) -
Wuthering Heights... picspam
Since I hardly slept last night due to thunder, rain and storm I took it easy today and only worked this morning. In the afternoon I watched the 1939 version of WH with Laurence Olivier. Worthwhile watching only for LO, the script sucks as badly as the 2009 version. So, to feel good again, I watched the 1992 adaptation with Juliette Binoche and ( Read more... ) -
Wuthering Heights (TV 2009)
Since Wuthering Heights is one of the most interesting novels of the Romantic Movement I've ever read, I'm obviously very curious when a new movie adaptation sees the light. So, I was all eyes and ears when the first episode of two was on Belgian TV last Saturday (or was it Friday?) Anyway, I watched it ( Read more... )
