it feels homy to be home

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!
