Julianne Moore in Savage Grace

Savage Grace is a 2007 film directed by Tom Kalin and written by Howard Rodman, based on the book Savage Grace by Natalie Robins and Steven M.L. Aronson. The story is based on the dysfunctional, allegedly incestuous relationship between heiress and socialite Barbara Daly Baekeland and her son, Antony. Julianne Moore makes an incredible interpretation. She is distant and close to us at the same time, and she transmits her lonelyness and sadness and at the same time keep us wondering about who is she in reality.

Barbara Baekeland's former lover, Sam Green, wrote an article pointing out events in the film that did not match reality. Referring in particular to the scene of Barbara, her son Antony, and Sam having a ménage à trois, he wrote, "it is true that almost 40 years ago I did have an affair with Barbara, but I certainly never slept with her son, and nor did she, to the best of my knowledge. Nor am I bisexual... She started telling people she had had an incestuous relationship with her son as a way of 'curing' him of homosexuality ... But I don't believe she had sex with Tony. I think she simply enjoyed shocking people."

It was an official selection at the 2007 London Film Festival, the 2007 Sundance Film Festival and the 2007 Cannes Film Festival.

Biking with MacKenzie

Those are part of my memories of the last year that I spend in Germany, this memories are so surrealistic now and seem so far away. Tonight I saw four different films at the same time, just changing the channel. "Lions for Lambs" of Robert Redford, "The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover" of Peter Greenaway, "Delicatessen" of  Jean Pierre Jeunet. My choice is "Delicatessen" and it's great black humour, also fans of Amelie and Mr.Jeunet will like this smart and funny film. If after this one you still want to watch another movie, my second choice would be "The Cook, the Thief, his Wife and her Lover" in the same surrealistic line that my mood tonight. The film directed by Redford is not bad, but not good either.

Welcome cinema and art friends!

Good evening,

Tonight I will introduce myself and the contents I would like to present in this space. I am very interested in visual art; mostly in cinema but also in photography and painting. I will try to recommend you good films, cinema directors, photography curiosities and art expositions my dear fellows.

In this first post I will start with Yasujirō Ozu 小津安二郎 ' a famous japanese film director. For those who never heard about him I would say that he's a classic in cinema world. His movies have a special oriental touch and he shows the intimicy of japanese way of life and family structure. I think a good monday movie would be "Tokyo Story".

Hope you will enjoy it and looking forward for your comments!
