Disappointed with "Bande a Part" because of the misogyny. It's technically innovative, fast-paced & has 2 hugely fun clips (cafe dance, run through the Louvre). These clips on Youtube give a false impression of the film. Its story is of how a young charming girl is preyed on by thieves. Women are groped, harrassed, slapped or robbed at gunpoint. Horrible.

about to travel back in time to 1960s Paris via DVD "Bande a Part" with Jean-Luc Godard. (includes scene running through the Louvre to shock of guards who weren't forewarned of filming) #intermedialDiscoveries Part of the 'New Wave' of French film - as I think this,my mind's jukebox begins playing "The Tide is High" by Blondie, incongruously.
Roadtrip with secondhand books: (base up) the fabulous hardcover bio of Matisse by Hilary Spurling (only vol 2) attracted me into the shop, "Cubism" by Neil Cox, Jane Austen "Northanger Abbey" (research for upcoming writing workshop on Austen!!), George Orwell "Collected Essays Vol1 (1920-40) because it contains the essay "Why O wrote" and the classic book on looking, "Ways of seeing", John Berger. #amreading Which to read first? Suggestions??
Getting-near-the-last outdoor icecream of the year, so it has to be a good one: pistachio by Janettas Gelateria of St Andrews. (about 30 flavours to choose from... I nearly had Biscotti or white chocolate and raspberry but the wild cherry looked good too....) #flavours #fud #icecream
