L'amour, c'est mieux à deux. Another mediocre film, though there were some good laughs. Not a film one want to see again and again. This in spite of the participation one of our favourite actors Clovis C0rnillac.
I (Aurore) realize that the blog hasn't been updated for a fortnight and feel a bit ashamed for this. Just to mention that we watched Toy Story 3 and were very enchanted by this film. The best part was the the guest star of Totoro as a cudly toy.
At Cinéma Lux in La Châtre the event for the evening (6th of August) is a seance dedicated to Charlie Chaplin and three of his movies: 'The Tramp'('Le Vagabond', 1915); 'A Night in the Show'('Charlot au Music-Hall', 1915) and 'The Circus'('Le Cirque', 1928). Aurore and I went there of course. In order to animate the evening and inform the visitors about the background and making of these films, they had invited François Ede (membre du Conservatoire des techniques cinématographiques de la Cinémathèque française), a French cinematographer and specialist in the films of Chaplin, among other subjects.
Below some pictures from the evening:
The entrance hall at Cinéma Lux, looking like a church, which is not surprising as this building earlier has been a convent:
The door into the Holiest of Holy:
The seats in the cinematic church...
...and the Madonna and her son protecting us from evil?
As you can see there were quite a number of visitors...
In the photo below right we see Nicolas Ribowski,director and assistant director to Tati in making 'Playtime', a man full of stories and a very good animator, questioning Ede concerning his documentary.
These are pictures from the inner courtyard and garden belonging to my mother-in-law. She also runs a Bed and Breakfast (chambres d'hôtes) with two appartments (see link).
