Jeux

Holidays can be such fun-

A bit of a fish out of water to begin with.

But we had a whale of a time

To play chess arrange your castles at each side of the beach!

But I am the king of the castle.

Time for painting

Such a busy bee.

And so to bed!

Dersu Uzala

Went to the pics to see Dersu Uzala by Akira Kurosawa (1975, 70mm print Mosfilm, Sovcolor!)
Described by Philip French, who knows a thing or two about Filums, as

 an elegiac film of great visual and spiritual beauty

The print wasn't that good and for today's audience it must seem a little slow, 2hr. 40m.
Since the audience had an average age of 72 it didn't seem to matter much.
An afternoon of real, contemplative, pleasure.

I'm sorry I'll wake up now.
