Tulpan

This film is an engaging account of life in a Kazakhstan yurta, a skilful study of nomadism, a tender story and beautifully shot but... too much steppe, too much sheep...a little too much of rurality for my taste.

The Walthamstow Tapestry

Grayson Perry, who won the 2003 Turner prize, is well known for his beautifully crafted pots decorated with often uncomfortable scenes of modern life. Now he has produced a monumental tapestry, 15 metres long and three metres high, replete with characteristically Perry-esque scenes of consumer excess and grim retribution. If you have never been before, now is an excellent time to visit the interesting Victoria Miro gallery where this work exhibits.

Delorean se presenta en Londres

Muchos Españoles disfrutando de su concierto el pub The Legion en Old St. Unai me dijo que él también se lo había pasado muy bien tocando para nosotros.

Jesper Just

Descubrí a este vídeo artista danés en Lisboa. Me gusta la estética cinematográfica de sus vídeos, su belleza extraña, su ambigüedad. Ofrecen una consciente complejidad psicológica que invita a múltiples interpretaciones.

A vida é um sopro

Oscar Niemeyer se descubre en este documental cuyo título proviene de una definición suya "la vida es un soplo y hay que aprovecharla". Se puede ver en la Fundación Telefónica dentro de la exposición dedicada al arquitecto Brasileño.

Otoño en la Ciudad Blanca

Para los nostálgicos de las señales de neón, de los tranvias, de la ropa tendida en los balcones y muchas cosas más....Lisboa.

Hendrick's Horseless Carriage of Curiosities

We How could we resist a Hendrick's G&T for free?

Fish Tank

After her darkly compulsive tale of surveillance and revenge in Glasgow, Andrea Arnold opens up the council estates of Essex, revealing the myriad ways in which they cramp but never entirely extinguish the spirit and imaginations of the people who live there. It delivers in spades attitude, humour, sadness, love, anger and hope – all wrapped up in a way of telling stories that is very much the director’s own. British film at its best.

Inflatables

Unlike yesterday's summery day today was ugly, grey, windy... To cheer myself up I went again to see Jeff Koons's Popeye Series. Contagious Happiness.

Seguimos con las familias

I haven't been in the Riverside Studios for a while. Today double bill with two family dramas "Three monkeys" and "35 Shots of Rum". Good cinema, as you normally find there.
