"Os Maias - Cenas da Vida Romântica"....








Uma tragédia burguesa empacotada em belas imagens e uma delicia de diálogos a atarem o presente. Sinceramente....gostei daquela cenografia que mostra pouco, mas liberta ainda mais. Quanto ao papel de Pedro Inês (joão da Ega)....soberbo. Duas horas e meia muito bem passadas no escuro do Fonte Nova.  

Um filme de João Botelho

Once upon a time at Fredsgatan, Göteborg, and like most interiors from the 80`s...gone long time ago. One of architect Gert Wingårdh early works. 
(1978 ?)....

Thanks Wingårdhs Arkitektkontor !!

Grupo Compay Segundo at Konserthuset....


Göteborg, Konserthuset, October, 31

Beginning a concert with a sitting audience....and ending it with a dancing crowd is the best appreciation you can ever get. "El Grupo" knows how to perform, and old Compay was certainly up there keeping an eye on "los muchachos"

Best in show: "A caballo vamos pal monte"

Bryan Ferry at Lisebergshallen....


Göteborg, Lisebergshallen, October, 28 (photo: GP)

Think about a concept that worked in 1974....and still functions forty years later ! The elegant dandy with the seducing voice, still sings with the same charisma and feeling. Magical-rhythmical candy for our senses, and yesterday nothing of that was changed. One and a half hours of music was, by the way, a bit short for the money.

Paul Beard - keyboards
Guy Pratt - bass
Jorja Chalmers - sax
Cherisse Osei - drums
Jacob Quistgaard - guitarr
Steve Jones - guitar
Bobbie Gordon - backing vocals
Jodie Scantlebury - backing vocals
Fonzi Thornton - backing vocals

Best in show: 
"Oh Yeah" (such a great song), "Kiss and Tell", "Take a chance with me", "More than this", "Slave to love", "Virginia Plain", "Jealous Guy", "Avalon"....and all the rest !!

Avant l`hiver....

Kristin Scott Thomas and Daniel Auteuil in a film by Philippe Claudel

Take a step aside from the main road....and you may find yourself wondering about the previous direction.
