This month I’ve read a few good books in a row, which is such a delight. So, I’ve read an avant-garde book ‘Novel with Cocaine’ by M. Ageyev, then finally Madame Bovary by Flaubert, Cranford by Elizabeth Gaskell, novella Asya by Turgenev and Kafka’s The Metamorphosis. I’ve watched some good films too; La Verite (1960) and Love is my profession (1958); both with Brigitte Bardot, and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus – really, really good, loved the costumes, the setting, wow! You’ve probably all seen it, but it was totally new and fresh and exciting for me. Well, I have to say that, as December arrives, my thoughts go to Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Pierrot and circus – that might be a hint for my following posts.

The Imaginarium is one of my favourite films so I’m glad you enjoyed it, old Terry Gilliam is possibly my top fave film maker & if you haven’t seen his ‘adventures of baron Munchausen’ then I recommend you give it a try – good costumes in that too.

I haven’t seen it, thanks for recommending, if the costumes are good, I’m tempted. And I’m happy to hear that you liked The Imaginarium too because it’s simply brilliant, I like that ‘magical realism’ genre, if you could call it so.
