• I think cinema, I love cinema, I see a great number of films during the year and always have. If asked to list great director names, I would reply, Fellini, Bergman, Fassbinder, Kurosawa and Kubrick. Though a hundred names would barely begin to cover it. But… and oh, yes, Tarentino. Despite not much enjoying his movies—too much violence, albeit often humorous, rivers of blood, and a permanent agitation—I believe I’ve seen all his films since “Reservoir Dogs.”

  • The video clip for "Young and Beautiful" by Lana Del Rey was just released online. This is the first time the soundtrack for "The Great Gatsby" is heard. Film which stars Leonardo Di Caprio will open the Cannes Festival next week. In a sequence done with restraint and in a 1920s esthetic, the "Video games" singer wonders whether loves can resist the passage of time and not take away and a specific vision of beauty.
