The great Neruda always ...Thanks Terry and Sandra.<br /><br />The great Neruda always seems pertinent while almost everybody else feels dated, even (especially!) the most recent contenders. Whoever they are.<br /><br />Of course it's not as though there were a continually blooming rose garden of genius world poets we were promised and into which, for lack of the real article, we could introduce any old clump of plastic, award it an MFA, paint it with pretty colours, drop a grant or two on it, and call it masterpiece. <br /><br />Birth, a nonsensical yet weirdly intriquing conception, a creepy yet strangely unforgettable film, with one of the great opening sequences of all time. The beauty owing to a cinematographer whom I ought to go and look up... Savides if I recall... and the score by Alexander Desplats, grand movie music in the old time sense.TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-64060943502625482442016-08-18T12:40:02.767-07:002016-08-18T12:40:02.767-07:00ah Neruda ...it shakes me to the core!ah Neruda ...it shakes me to the core!Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15053707892868584990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-43065285215737143112016-08-18T06:05:50.937-07:002016-08-18T06:05:50.937-07:00I'd completely forgotten that Nicole Kidman mo...I'd completely forgotten that Nicole Kidman movie, but you've brought it back to mind.
