65 Candles 🎂 today for the wonderful & inspirational MICHAEL J. FOX

Nada… Gosto de estar onde estiver e agora vou à praia da capital, a ver como param as modas, à hora da calma, com festa de aniversário de sobrinho, e tudo e tudo. (É os sacrifícios.)

Morre aos 80 anos Marcia Lucas, montadora vencedora do Oscar por “Star Wars: Episódio IV - Uma Nova Esperança”. A profissional foi uma das responsáveis pela construção narrativa da trilogia original da saga. 🌹💔

Agnès Varda on the mystery of 'La Pointe Courte' (1955): "There’s a mystery to 'La Pointe Courte' (1955) that I’ve never been able explain: whatever drove me to make a film? I knew nothing about the cinema, first of all because I never went to the movies; by the age of twenty I’d only seen a maximum of about twenty films. Nor did I live among people who were in any way involved in film. I really believe that I undertook La Pointe Courte the way you write your first novel, not caring whether it will be published or not. Of course I was an avid reader at that time so you can discern the imprint of literature in my film: the film was directly inspired by Faulkner’s 'Wild Palms'. Not in its story line but in the way it’s constructed: you know, the way it alternates between the story of the couple and the rising waters of the Mississippi. I loved this feeling of suspension, somewhat annoying as you’re reading but which feels quite extraordinary in retrospect. In France it was a time when we were beginning to talk a lot about Brecht’s theory of distanciation. I hadn’t yet read any theoretical writings on this but I was fascinated by this attempt to interfere with the spectator’s identification with the film’s characters." (Agnès Varda's interview with Jean-Andre Fieschi & Claude Ollier, 1965) P.S: Remembering the great Agnès Varda on her 98th birthday!

Comparto este video que lanzaron ayer Silvio Rodríguez y Chico Buarque; los fondos que se recaben serán donados a la Sala de Pediatría del Instituto de Oncología de Cuba, así que si queréis verlo, darle like y compartirlo con otras personas, es un pequeño grano de arena para aliviar la difícil situación en que se encuentran. El vídeo es precioso y presenta esa Habana tan digna como empobrecida. youtube.com/watch?v=4j9HIa11…

I love reviewing books. Here is one about how Shakespeare comes across in other languages. Despite urgent issues of late (see me on the Voting Rights Act) this book teaches us, like an Ina Garten recipe, about what it is to live as a human. Popeye's dirty rice taught the same lesson but was discontinued. I could go on. Hahn did a great job. nytimes.com/2026/04/25/books…
