The following quotes are from Times. On my news stream the first impression came from Indian Daily News or something, due to Vidya Balan's presence in the jury. Spielberg made just that point at a press conference after the ceremony. He called Adèle ”a great love story that made all of us feel privileged to be a fly on the wall, to see this story of deep love and deep heartbreak evolve from the beginning.” The director didn’t put any constraints on the narrative. He let the scenes play in … [Read more...]
Cannes Film Festival 2013
Today, The Great Gatsby, Baz Luhrmann's adaptation based on the novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, will open the sixty sixth film festival of Cannes.

These posts will be short and sometimes with less pics. [source] After the new introduction, I have to justify myself on the subject. The title is of Dan Brown's acclaimed book. A … [Read more...]

Toffler stated that the majority of social problems are symptoms of future shock. In his discussion of … [Read more...]
