Another fantastic day has gone by at The 9th Amazonas Film Festival.
We have been transported by bus deepr in the amazonas, about 2 hours drive for a traditional amazonian breakfast (tapioca, fruit juices...) and a visit to a sanctuary, preserved area of a few square kilometers around a set of 3 waterfalls, where we bathed at length, fighting against an incredibly strong current.
Check the video, coming soon, from a place where Internet will be stronger.

I saw Rust and Bone during the Cannes Film festival, in the company of a bone doctor. His intrigue was medical, and mine artistic.
I composed a drawing through the film, which seems to me, Audiard's description of a key scene:
The film's treatment of a key scene for Cotillard's character, Stéphanie, is a central moment to the story; a chaotic, dream-like sequence, slowed down to the point of abstr

I had resisted visiting Auschwitz, while in Krakow for Off Camera Plus. I thought at that time that this is not a place you "visit", like a tour excursion, definitely a place to remember and to pay homage to the dead in your family that would have died there, like you go to a cemetary.
