Fun stuff:

Films I wish I had made:

West Beyrouth, He loves me,He loves me not; Full Monty, The Piano Teacher, Il Postino, The Vanishing,Cinema Paradiso, Miracle in Milan, Osama, The Barbarian Invasions, Battle Royale, Educating Rita, Jeux Interdits, Tsotsi, Volver, London to Brighton, Un Prophète and another hundred of them.

I cried watching:

I cried when I was nine watching Immitation of Life with Lana Turner.A rare anti-racist film of the 50's. Buckets of tears for Forbidden Game (Jeux Interdits)and of course, La Strada and Kes.
Since then, not a tear.

I left the cinema during:

Reservoir Dogs (sorry)

Writers I Respect:

I respect them all and love lots of them.However, for the moment, I love Stephan Zweig,Garcia Lorca and Haruki Murakami, Elena Ferrante.

My desert island discs:

Shostakovich’s waltz from the Jazz suite No 1 to glide above the palm trees.
Rock Around the Clock to climb the coconut trees.
Simon and Garfunkel's Scarborough Fair to remind me of Yorkshire. Jean-Jacques Goldman to remind me of France.
Sound of Silence to put up with it. The music theme of the Magnificent Seven to keep hope,and, to give me the illusion there is a god, Bach’s cantate Jesu Joy of Man’s Desire and the Beatles' Let It Be while I am dying on the sand.
