soft focus
I'm in love with these soft grey and earthy tones combined with the fabulous fur texture. Fur vest are my fave right now! I'm still looking for the perfect one myself.

Seiko
Everyone who knows me knows that I am obsessed with watches. It's my favorite accessory being practical and decorative at the same time. In fact, I can't believe I have not made a post about watches so far (or have I?), so here goes. Two pieces that I fell madly in love with, while browsing the Seiko Spring Drive booklet. They're so classic and simple yet sophisticated. Just what I like when it comes to watches.

Le Conseguenze Dell'Amore
Consequences of Love (2004) by Paolo Sorrentino is my new favorite movie. I haven't seen it all, but it was enough to see some fragments to fall hopelessly in love. Now I am on the quest - to find it and watch it all. Sorrentini plays with points of view. These manipulations help to sculpture the story, making the picture magnetic and hypnotic. The dynamics and the pace changes in the movie, emphasizing the events. Well, you have to see it to understand. It's a marvellous and beautiful movie. Titta is played brilliantly by Toni Servillo. I also recommend The Family Friend (2006) and Il Divo (2008) by Paolo Sorrentini. All his movies have amazing locations of camera, changes of points of view and manipulations of gazes.
"The worst thing for a man who spends a lot of time alone is a lack of imagination."

Alfred Hitchcock
I'm attending a course of lectures called Cinema-school. Yesterday was a lecture about the Thriller mechanism in the movies of Alfred Hitchcock, which of course included watching excerpts from his movies. Here are some of the highlights.
_
The camera is not able to show everything at the same time, but it does not wish to do so. The story is revealed deficiently. The screen we see is only a part of the movie. There is action behind it too. Not everything is shown to us, but wherewith more is expressed.
_

For example, in the movie Secret Agent a man is killed by pushing him off a cliff, but we do not see the very fall. We see the killer putting a hand on the man's shoulder, we see another man looking at them through binoculars and in the next frame we see the same scene after the fall and a shadow of a cloud gliding across it. We know what happened but we are not let to see it. This kind of hiding of events allows us to perceive the events by the light of nature.

The movie Psycho is particularly detailed. We see closeups of a shower, eye, the hole in the bath, where water is flowing away, and most importantly, the hooks of the shower curtain, which tear away one by one as the woman dies.

Eye as a charcter appears often in Hitchcock's movies. Eyes and looks are of great importance. As an outstanding example we have the movie Rear Window, in which a photographer Jeff, who has broken a leg and is therefore in a wheelchair, spends his days watching the inhabitants of the opposite house through their windows. In the course of the movie we are like Jeff - anonymous, watching them when they cannot see us. It gives us a sense of security. But when the man, whom Jeff has been watching, catches a sight of him, it's as if he sees us too. And the look in the eyes is quite frigtening. It illusory robs us that anonimity that made us feel safe. Which such a tense detail Hithcock by insensible degrees draws us in the story. Look functions as a methaphore - it is never innocent, because if you look, then you are involved, you participate. To see is to include it in your life. Therefore the importance of the eye.

The movie Rear Window by and large earned my love. The photographer is the witness of different details of lives of different people. The windows to their lives and homes serve as little screens inside the big screen. And he is the only one who sees it as a whole. Of course in this movie is starring the wonderful, the only, the woman of all women Grace Kelly. In my opinion she is the most beautiful, elegant and graceful woman ever. I don't think any of the nowadays actressed captures her charm. My favorite scene is of her climbing the fire-escape, wearing a fabulous dress.
