No such thing as life and existence, but rather something that constituted them together and without separation | Werner Herzog

Werner Herzog: At night, when it gets really cold, at three or four o’clock in the morning, there are people in New York City who live like Neanderthals—they come out at three o’clock, when it gets so cold they can no longer bear it. People gather in an empty, totally deserted street and set the trash cans on fire just to warm themselves, and they do so without saying a word. That’s how it is…

'Berlin Alexanderplatz' – Rainer Werner Fassbinder's epic limited series on Criterion Channel

“Beginnings are hard, but without them there would be no endings.” Berlin Alexanderplatz (Germany, 1980), Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s fifteen-hour-plus adaptation of Alfred Döblin’s novel, is the filmmaker’s most lavish and complex production ever. The story of Franz Biberkopf (played with almost childlike openness and vulnerability by Gunter Lamprecht), who steps out of prison and into the…

Berlin Alexanderplatz (1980) Ein Hammer auf den Kopf kann die Seele verletzen

E3

Our hero Franz Biberkopf tries to live from selling shoelaces going from door to door. Here he accidentally runs into his old lover Eva, which makes him so overwhelmed that he runs to the nearest flower shop and says something along the lines of: "I want to buy flowers that should express that the past just keeps following you; and days go by driving you on and on to a place where there is no future." [Or as paraphrased by Laurie Anderson: "Days go by Endlessly. And they just keep going by endlessly; Endlessly pulling you Into the future."] And the florist answers: "White Carnations" - the flower of death. And instead, Frantz buys red roses - and walks to another woman he has met along the route...

Roma ~ Werner Bergengruen · [1]

PIAZZA DI SPAGNA con la fontana della « Barcaccia » di Pietro Bernini (1562-1629) e la scalinata che conduce alla chiesa di Trinità dei Monti Precarietà ed immortalità di Roma quasi si toccano, anzi si fondono come in nessun’altra città al mondo. Si toccano e si fondono l’allegria e la tristezza, il frastuono ed il silenzio, la fretta e la calma, l’angustia e la larghezza che diventa quasi…

Igor Levit: Defining Tristan

Sony 194399434826 2 CD Igor Levit is a man of vision and of multiple talents. His pianistic skills and his vast knowledge of repertoire are pretty much unquestioned at this point. His vision is evidenced by his very personal choices in choosing what he will play and record. In my first encounter with this artist, his three disc survey of large keyboard variation works spanning three centuries…
