Giovanni Ribisi, terrific performance. All he wants to do is fly a helicopter to heaven.<br /><br />This of Steve's -- "...each one some kind of wordless drama, an unfolding moment now gone (but also now here), maybe an echo of O'Hara's 'I'm in / this too deep.'" -- comes close to describing the motor of the post.<br /><br />Guy Pène du Bois was named after Guy de Maupassant, once a friend of the family.<br /><br /><a href="http://tomclarkblog.blogspot.com/2013/09/f-scott-fitzgerald-bernice-bobs-her.html" rel="nofollow">F.

Eat their emeralds.<br /><br />How images drawn so plainly from cinema can be images of resistance, of real and particular beauty; no possibility of this now.<br /><br />I've heard people still describe O'Hara as flippant. Sod them. Leave the poems to them that can read properly.<br /><br />The nakedness of the figure in the seventh image is quite unsettling.Mose23https://www.blogger.com/profile/01100756913131511440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-38145718911111516482013-09-20T11:02:00.265-07:002013-09-20T11:02:00.265-07:00On a previous topic, Tom, the late Polish director...On a previous topic, Tom, the late Polish director Krzysztof Kieslowski was planning another trilogy before he died, to be called Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory, of which only Heaven was made. Though Kieslowski is listed as a screenwriter, I think the director, otherwise known for superficial Euro-action films, must have devoted himself to Kieslowski's vision and style (or maybe Kieslowski was there looking over his shoulder the whole time). Among other things, it's as a Szymborskian love-at-first-sight film.VINCENT FARNSWORTHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09840705566779483677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-17480575530983735772013-09-20T10:28:41.534-07:002013-09-20T10:28:41.534-07:00Tom,
