Until today I never realized he is Franco Moretti's brother.
(And his wife is the daughter of Luigi Nono and on her mother's side the granddaughter of Arnold Schoenberg. Nanni must have had great courage to do some of the silly slapstick films he did, with such a hyperintellectual family looking over his shoulder.)
Arpege, aren't you the sap? Can't you see the slapstick reference in it? And I don't mean the Rohmerism crossed with Simon & Garfunkelism. Pul-leaze. I guess it needs many other leading men to do it, very Gerard Depardieu when younger, better for him than Daniel Auteuil, I guess.
Okay, I'm just being rude, it's not the 'petite romance' that's sad about it, it's being in a record store. Period. That causes all sorts of mental and biological (if applicable) disturbances, that's the pretty part to me. It's always poetic there if you don't get an OCD attack or faint (as I did once as a child because of an airless place. I think you just life to be like in furrin movies, arpege...
Yes colonel, too sad. When I said slapstick I meant meeting Jennifer Beals in Caro diario etc.
(I'm not entirely sure Nono had a demystified view of art - okay in the sixties and early seventies he tried to bring it to the factories, but after that, with his best music I think - sofferte onde serene, the string quartet, "Hay que caminar" for two violins - he returned to a kind of esoteric, meditative thing.)
Myself, I love furrin movies, esp. white photography with old white subtitles so you cain't read 'em too well. It's so sophisticated. I waunt all of life to be like in 'Sundays and Cybele', and other impawtant things like 'Contempt' and 'Breathless'. That is how y'all makes y'all's life into a work of art.
What I meant to say was: what is furrin is obviously only furrin depending on where you happen to be standing. Keokuk, Iowa, for instance, can be a mighty furrin place. It was when I last passed through, anyway.

ReplyDeleteyes but they all, apart from Schönberg, have a kind of demystified take on art.
