Brigitte Helm, as Maria in Fritz Lang’s Metropolis, 1925.

Watch this masterpiece.

A 26 éves Viktort most mindannyian tárt karokkal fogadnánk, és eljöhetne - amire annyira vágyunk jobbra is, balra is, - a nemzeti megbékélés. Gyere vissza Viktorka! A magyaroknak szükségük van rád.

Lars Von Trier: Dogville

Extraordinary. It’s food for brain and soul.

”I think the point to the film is that evil can arise anywhere, as long as the situation is right.”

”I can’t deny that I am by heart a socialist, and therefore the American system as I see it would make a situation like this more probable, maybe push people more quickly to the wrong side. My primitive view is that if a system is partly built on the idea that you are the maker of your own happiness, then of course poor people are miserable in the sense that they failed completely. Whereas in other countries, you might look at that more as a failure of the society.”

Lars Von Trier

Marina Abramovic and Ulay: Breathing In/Breathing out

To create Breathing In/Breathing Out the two artists devised a piece in which they connected their mouths and took in each other’s exhaled breaths until they had used up all of the available oxygen. Seventeen minutes after the beginning of the performance they both fell to the floor unconscious, their lungs having filled with carbon dioxide. This personal piece explored the idea of an individual’s ability to absorb the life of another person, exchanging and destroying it. (Wikipedia)

Rájöttem, hogy itt még nem hoztam szóba/képbe a kedvenc sorozatomat.

(Na jó, valójában az egyetlen sorozatot, amit nézek, vagyis inkább néznék, ha megjelenne már az új évad.)

Everything is Illuminated, by Liev Schreiber

I guess, this wanted to be the type of movie that touches your soul, but somehow it didn’t grab mine. Maybe this is why I don’t have a lot to say.. so I’m gonna use someone else’ words. I can agree with that:

“When Liev Schreiber’s terrific adaptation of Jonathan Safran Foer’s award-winning novel Everything is Illuminated was released in theaters last September, the critics yawned and most classified it derisively as “yet another” Holocaust movie. But Illuminated is not about the Holocaust per se, it’s about knowledge of the Holocaust and how that knowledge is to be transmitted to new generations once the survivors are gone.”

One of the best books I’ve ever read.
