i arrived at home yesterday in the end of the afternoon.
benny, the cat, was very vocal about how he missed me. i missed him too.
i was also greeted with a letter from hermine in the mail!

the summer trip were a glorious 10 days of exploring new places, and admiring the beauty in portugal's natural places, as well as constructed ones.
a trip that didn't fall short on emotions. a wide range of them.
as i cuddled into my comfy bed i turned on my laptop to watch a few familiar movies.
something i do almost every day and hadn't done since leaving.
i thought i'd share a few favorite of mine and maybe you can introduce me to some of yours.
animations by sylvain chomet:
les triplettes de belleville (excerpt 1) . les triplettes de belleville (excerpt 2) . la vieille dame et les pigeons (excerpt)
his drawings are amazing and so are the storylines that support them.
shorts by jan svankmajer:
meat love . picnic . a game with stones

i really like how he twists everyday actions and objects and makes them interesting to watch.
i didcovered him by accident, with his movie the conspirators of pleasure, that till this day remains the work i love the best.
and of course, delicatessen by jean-pierre jeunet & marc caro - my absolute favorite!
welcome back home!
ReplyDeletethank you for the movies suggestion. I knew the sylvain chomet's animations, but I haven't seen the others you've mentioned here and I think I will watch them soon :)
yayy. you're back :) i liked the animations. i watched sylvain chomet's l'illusioniste few weeks back. it was lovely. i also saw an animation that reminded me of your blog's name...because it had an opinion on green color: http://www.vimeo.com/27003856
ReplyDeleteWelcome back!!!
ReplyDeleteI nearly screamed when I noticed you posted a clip from "The Triplets of Bellville". I love it for its use of very little dialogue. I've been watching a few of Svankmajer's films for a while now. Watch his films "Alice" and "The Ossuary and Other tales", if you didn't yet. Both are very surreal and just as creative! You might like it. :)
emilia - that was actualy the next movie to watch on my list! and thanks for the link. cute fluffy animation!
ReplyDeletealexandria - i have, actually! love them, although alice was the one i liked the less. for a long time i was obsessed with watching everything jan svankmajer had made, and i watched everything i was able to...
thanks for the movies, i have seen some of them, indeed, they are amazing, but i love your blog name , because i also love green,or blue -- the color of sky.
