Venus (2006)

Movie synopsis:

Dirty old men need love too.

“Now the gods at the side of Zeus were sitting in council, upon a golden floor. Among them, graciously, Hebe served the nectar, while they toasted one another with cups of gold , looking down toward the stronghold of Ilion.”

Homer -The Iliad- (Book IV, v. 1-5)

E.S.T.

Esbjörn Svensson died.

I was lucky to see him in concert twice with his group. The first time I also had the opportunity of chatting briefly with him, Magnus and Dan while they were signing my copy of  “Seven Days of Falling”. Nice fellas and wonderful musicians.

This is not the place for talking about their fantastic music, the purpose of this blog is different. I only want to acknowledge his (and also their) enormous talent.

We’ll miss you Esbjörn.

Foucault’s Pendulum

Lara took this picture last week in Paris, while she was thinking of hidden symmetries. Meanwhile, Andromeda was asking for some good book to read, and I would have suggested Umberto Eco’s “Foucault’s Pendulum” if her conditions were not so strict. Sometimes coincidences can be spooky, anyway.

What has the “conservatoire des arts et métiers” to do with the book? Well… read it and you will find out!

If you want something that takes the mick out of people like Dan Brown and conspiracy theorists, then that is your book. Its only flaw is that to enjoy it and understand Eco’s subtle and refined sense of humor one should have a huge historical/philosophical background.
