curiositasmundi:
Cito la notizia senza citarla, perché questa è internet e Google non capisce niente. Quindi insomma, parlo per gli insider, quelli che sanno di chi parlo e per che motivo.

La querela è inutile, la richiesta di rettifica è sostanzialmente inutile,...

Tim Robbins on Desert Island Discs
This morning Tim Robbins was on Desert Island Discs. He talked movingly about his childhood, his political activism, love, directing films, and surviving mid-life crisis. He sounds like a very thoughtful man and a beautiful person, and I am so very sorry that he and Susan Sarandon split up. They were such a great couple. Here’s his very fine selection of music, one book and one luxury item:...

All Tarkovsky Films Now Free Online | Open Culture →
Andrei Tarkovsky (1932-1986) firmly positioned himself as the finest Soviet director of the post-War period. But his influence extended well beyond the Soviet Union. The Cahiers du cinéma consistently ranked his films on their top ten annual lists. Ingmar Bergman went so far as to say, “Tarkovsky for me is the greatest [director], the one who invented a new language, true to the nature of ...
