10 out of 10

 

Sofia Coppola https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2024/01/elvis-and-me-true-story-of-love-between.html is one of the best directors, writers and producers, and Lost in Translation is one of my favorite motion pictures, indeed, I was thinking that it is probably among the Top 200, although that could change with time

 

I have seen this delightful oeuvre again last night, and found the combination of sadness, tedium vitae and humor seductive, perhaps even soothing – the mood was not the best – In The Mood For Love, that absolute magnum opus comes to mind – seeing as I have been sick, even now, part of the gaucherie could be attributed to a flew, or something

If you ask the spouse though, I am the absolute failure – she told me yesterday, for the thousandth time, that she cannot stand the sight of the quintessential moron, Tuesday, Friday she will be gone and the plan is for her to take a two weeks trip to…India, no problem there, except the firm has made a loss, and furthermore

 

The macaws will be on my head https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/03/the-seven-principles-of-making-marriage.html literally and figuratively, Puccini is on my left shoulder, and Balzac sist on my head, as I write this, and quite often, albeit they have been a lot of trouble lately, fighting, destroying furniture, and worst of all, screaming

If you want them, say the word – Bill Murray is formidable in the leading role of Bob Harris, a former film star, who is now in Tokyo, for a commercial, he has to help sell some kind of whiskey (I think it was) now that his glory days are gone…there may even be some sort of ‘mid-life crisis’, as his new soul friend teases him in…bed

 

Did I read something about the filming of this, I could not remember – Scarlett Johansson  https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/09/marriage-story-written-and-directed-by.html is radiant in the role of Charlotte, a young wife whose stays in the same hotel in Tokyo, bored because her husband is too busy

Obviously, that is not the only, maybe not even the main reason, but Charlotte and Bob become friends, he could be her father, and maybe thirty years older, so it is interesting to see the dynamic, it felt at times that it may go beyond, or is it under – platonic, when they lie together in bed, he touches her feet, where would this go?

 

Pygmalion  https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/07/pygmalion-written-by-george-bernard.html comes to mind, though the myth is about the sculptor, the gods that grant him his wishes, and later adaptations have a mature man ‘sculpting’ a young, innocent female, in this case they do not have the time, maybe, but there is some dialogue wherein he explains about marriage, the scare that he felt when his first child was born

In The Fade aka Auf Dem Nichts, written by Hark Bohm and Fatih Akin

  In The Fade aka Auf Dem Nichts, written by Hark Bohm and Fatih Akin In The Fade has won the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Film, although in this cinephile's opinion, Una Mujer Fantastica- which has won the Oscar in the same category- Nelyubov or The Square would have been better choices. Having said that, Auf Dem Nichts is a very good, significant, remarkable feature, that attracts attention to violence against minorities, in this case the Kurdish community in Germany. It is therefore not one sided, we do not have only Muslim lunatics killing innocent "infidels", but also some extreme Europeans murdering the other side. The problem is that, unacceptable, horrifying and vile as these acts are, it appears that the overwhelming majority of atrocities are committed by zealots acting in the name of Islam- radical and unrepresentative as they are for this supposedly peaceful faith, although there are passages in its holy book that seem to insist on a violent jihad and ultimat...
