giggles :)
Today was full of lots of joy and giggles... and you guessed it more films...
I woke up to continue to watch the end of "La Chute de la Maison Usher" or The fall of the House of Usher based loosely on the tales of a dear close friend of mine...yes Edgar Allen Poe. The film was made in 1928 by the magical Jean Epstein. This silent film is truly something to experience. (you can find it online on you tube... WATCH IT) It was truly revoutional for the time in which it was created...
OH... tangent
After that, A lovely travel to Montmartre to do a little walking tour of the area.. (i'm not done with it quite yet...) funny story about this place. I was trying to pronounce the name and instead of saying the last part right I pronounced it "merde" look up your french... and see why laugher was response...
BACK TO CLASS
dicussed the film "The Rules of the Game" (La Regle du Jeu) 1939 Jean Renoir ... Not to be confused by his father who was Pierre-Auguste Renoir.
After class made a trip back to the Cinémathèque française.... where after nicely (in some kind of french I made up) if they had found my Id... The front desk switched me to the ticket test... who then asked a passing security guard if they had seen my Id... finally YES was the answer...and Sonia and I timidly followed the guards to the depths of the Cinémathèque française to find my ID.... and there it was the beautiful card in which I would be in deep (merde) without (amongst the men watching the world cup) I think it was Switerland and Chile today.
Sonia and I ducked into a Cafe to grab my life force (coffee) and her some wonderful french cusine. After being forgotten about due to the world cup, we made our way to bastille to check out the music party... (today is a free day for all to play music.)
Then back home to work on my presentation about JEAN EPSTEIN....
TWO CHEEK KISSES..
