Aomame was in her 20s when she found herself living in a strange dimension after listening to Janácek’s symphony while going in a taxi to kill a powerful man. However 1Q84 takes its fictional features to another level.Īomame, the main character, is a young girl who kills abusive men as a job, paid by a wealthy woman who rescues women victims of violence.

We need to replace the joints with traditional materials. “Pollution is the biggest culprit,” says Philippe Villeneuve, architect in chief of historic monuments in France. The fumes from decades of gridlock have only worsened the damage. Centuries of weather have worn away at the stone. Some 854 years after construction began, one of Europe’s most visited sites, with about 12 million tourists a year, is in dire need of repairs. It has seen more than its share of epic dramas, including the French Revolution and two world wars. Notre Dame, which looms over the capital from an island in the center of the city, is a constant reminder of Paris’ history. Visitors from dozens of countries gaze up at the spectacular stained-glass windows, tiptoe through its vast choir and nave and whisper in awe at the centuries-old sculptures and paintings that line the walls. On an average summer day in Paris, about 50,000 tourists pass through Notre Dame cathedral, one of the finest buildings of the medieval era still standing. ![]() ![]() My makeup includes feathered lashes with clip-art wings around the eyes and a platinum-blonde wig." 2009įorget Max - Martha, Queen of the Wild Things, was a costume Martha wore on season five of "The Martha Stewart Show," according to Martha Stewart Living.

Instead of reading this longer collection, Biscuit and I picked up The Lottery and Seven Other Stories, which was published in 1998 first on cassette tape, and later in 2010 in digital audio format. Apparently, it was the only fiction collection published during her lifetime, and the book included 25 stories. In 1949 the short story collection titled The Lottery and Other Stories by Shirley Jackson was published. ![]() What I’ve got for you today is less of a review and more a description of a book I read with Biscuit, and interesting connections we made. ![]() ![]() ![]() This time around (unlike Sven Nykvist's perfect work on 'Marriage', a kind of pre-Dogma 95 style to use the camera with the story), Bergman decided to make the film for television (his on occasion work aside from theatre for the past twenty years since Fanny and Alexander) and also decided to implement digital photography.

It may be too easy to compare and contrast this film and the series. As with the majority of his works, he finds two key assets that work to his advantage behind his own personal attachment to the project- the camera/lighting, and the cast. ![]() ![]() This time two other characters in the film, new ones, become the centerpiece of the story. He's out to bring some closure to their relationship, however not entirely based on nostalgia. Bergman brings back two actors/friends he's worked with numerous times, Liv Ullmann and Erland Josephson, and uses their characters from his film/TV series Scenes from a Marriage for a higher purpose than to rake in the bucks. But it is the kind of sequel that bears significance. It's a sequel, which could have been thwarting (why go back and do the same thing over again, one could ask). With Saraband, writer/filmmaker Ingmar Bergman closes the book, so to speak, on his life's work. ![]() ![]() ![]() (I understand Henry Cavill wearing a hood is irresistible, but she could have tried a bit).

The teratophile in me wanted to kiss your scars and stare into your odd eyes!
