I read that 'Dogville' could be either qualified as 'affected and pretentious' and 'genial'. Perhaps. I just love the movie and I am beginning to understand how ideas from the sad 'Lars Trier' found their way to the path of creation. See, in these times it is not easy to be original. JB asked me how many 'isms' in art have there been in the last 30 years. Could not think of a single one - is it that artists can be clustered together just after they die, or is it the lack of manifestos, or are we humans merely producing selfish nonsense now?It was JB's idea as well that Leonard Cohen's music is quite naked: just his deep voice and a tune. It was not even hard for him to have such a velvety way of singing - just came naturally. I thought Rufus Wainwright and his piano were simple as well, but they are not - he is a flamboyant diva that sometimes likes playing straightforward sweet ballads just for the sake of it. He is complicated, like Dalí, and his art is difficult to get. I am enjoying more and more difficult references such as 'Rufus' and 'Lars', but on the other hand I love the voice off of 'Grey's Anatomy' and the fortune-cookie philosophy it is based on. Sometimes I'd like to live in black and white, like when I was four. But then the colours, and Mike. Worth to live in a complicated world when the best comes by closing your eyes.
