I just love meeting lovely&interesting people, and shoot with them.
Check her out she's very nice :) http://thecrosstown.blogspot.com/
I just love the retro 70's feeling of these pictures. I had a make up greatly inspired by Twiggy ( if not a recreation), and the hair was inspired by Brigitte Bardot, who is to me one of the most beautiful women ever.
It was a very nice sunday morning, with a lovely&interesting photographer, I had lots of pleasure to meet.
Le panthéon.
I feel like nobody really knows or talks about this place, while talking about Paris, which I don't understand because this is a wonderful and so impressive sight, as well inside or outside.
It was originally a church but now is a mausoleum for all great men in french history.
The Pantheon was built between 1758 and 1790. The building itself, is 110 meters long, by 84 meters wide, and 83meters high. The crypt is just the same. Useless to say it's really huge and impressive.
The inside is full of very beautiful and giant paintings, which tell The Apotheosis of Saint Genevieve( for whom the Pantheon was originally built.
In the crypt are buried people such as Rousseau, Voltaire, Victor Hugo, Alexandre Dumas or Louis Braille. As a big admirer of Rousseau I find it quite weird that he was buried in front of Voltaire. However, I'll let you appreciate some pictures I took when my father visited me.
I've been studying a lot lately, but I had the time to watch two movies, which I really enjoyed and I thought I'd share with you. One is japanese, one is korean, both are very different, but both really moved me to tears.
Let's begin with Late Autumn, the 2010's version, directed by Kim Tae-young.
I saw this movie during the festival of the korean cinema in Paris, this month, and I had almost no idea of what it would be like. I hadn't seen the trailer, only read a short synopsis.
However, this movie has made its way to my heart, and is now one of my favorite movies. Late Autumn is the story of a young woman, Anna, who murdered her husband to save her life, and therefore was sent to jail. Because of her mother's death, she is allowed to spend two days outside, and that's when she meets Hoon, an original&charming gigolo.
I'm not going further into the story because I really would recommend you to watch it, and I don't want to spoil anything. The actors are great, especially Hyun Bin who plays the role of Hoon, and whom you may know from Secret Garden. Wei Tang(Anna) is also noteworthy in this movie, all in silence and looks. The whole atmospheer of the movie is pretty unique, in lots of grey,brown and dark colors, yet with a lovely&sweet dimension to it. This movie is funny, serious, deep&moving. From the begining to the very end, you are carried along and I would definitely watch it again.
Second movie, absolutely different but that I still enjoyed, Only you can hear me. This is definitely a different style, a different way to film, to portray love but I really appreciated the story. Ryou is a very lonely girl, who has no friend and feel absolutely invisible and worthless. She doesn't own a cellphone, for the previous reasons, but she suddenly starts hearing the voice of Shinya, who lives in a different prefecture. They will become closer and closer through this telepathic relationship.
I really liked the hint of fantasy in this film, the beautiful landscapes, and melodies. It's a very pretty movie, full of poetry.
Let me know if you have watched these movies, or if there's any movie you think I should see. Preferably in japanese or korean, so that I can practise at the same time;) and because these are the ones I like best.
