kiss the princess / villa paolina / earth hour 2013

we celebrated the wwf's "earth hour" in the darkness... in the forest, by the pond with frogs, toads and tritons. it was beautiful and exciting, especially for filip. he has kissed like three or four toads calling them beautiful sweethearts. fortunately none of them has turned to be a princess. ;)

I learned a lot about the amphibians thanks to a lecture of a herpetologist. and I was quite sad and surprised to get to know that maybe we are one of the last people on this earth to coexist with amphibians, as the populations and species decrease so fast. the number of amphibians decreased of 70% in last 35 years, and we've lost 120 species since 1980, about a third of the species risks the extinction.
goodbye bufo viridis, hyle intermedia, lissotrion vulgaris and mesotriton alpestris.
and thank you humankind :(

 

pietà - kim ki duk

I accidentally cancelled post about kim ki duk's film "pietà".
(Wednesday, February 23, 2013)
here it comes again:


I couldn't sleep last night 'cause I have got...

...another "strong kick in the head".
very very "asian style", slow and symbolic scenes, poverty under the cloudy sky, scenes of violence in tight, sultry rooms, a rabbit and an eel, chicken's insides and a knife. 
him and her, mother and son and their complicated relationship.
this is how the world looks like in kim ki duk's "pietà", although more then the above image you will see something like this:

which is quite the same, but "quite" makes the difference.

I am deeply moved and impressed.
and... rather (well, to be honest: completely) uncritical about asian cinema, I go and see whatever I can see, and I enjoy it. always.

the only thing disturbing me a lot was the Lee Jung-jin's face - too much botox or something? Jo Min-su was simply beautiful.
