Bergman's Home at Faro

The following pictures were taken by Stephen Shore. They appeared in the art issue of W Magazine (my girlfriend is subscribed):



Here's a link to the actual article about Bergman's home on the Island of Faro, Sweden (the place where most of his works were filmed):
Art & Design: Ingmar Bergman - W Magazine

Reading this really makes me miss Bergman's Films. It has been far too long since I've seen anything by this man. If you haven't, please watch Wild Strawberries, The Seventh Seal, Scenes from a Marriage, Through a Glass Darkly, Persona, Franny & Alexander ... the list goes on. All favorites of mine.

Also, be sure to check out photographer Stephen Shore's other work. He's great! (Here's a teaser):

Back to reading Bukowski.
Seems like catching up with a pal.
Good to hear from you again, Hank.
You old bastard.

Scorsese's "My Voyage to Italy" (1999)

Just finished watching "My Voyage to Italy", a documentary by Martin Scorsese about his love for Italian cinema. I was first introduced to the documentary in my first session of Italian Cinema this semester. I was intrigued from the first half an hour we were able to see, so I decided to rent it outside of class.
I'd highly recommend this two-disc documentary. If you're familiar with Italian Cinema or if you don't know anything about it, this is definitely worth your time. Watching it made me appreciate so many aspects of the films I have already seen and gave me a strong urge to re-watch them. Scorsese spoke of the films with such admiration that I am currently overwhelmed with a list of films to see. Luckily, I'll be able to see a good deal of these in my class. Also, I am really beginning to consider minoring in World Cinema. I'm already going to be in school for longer than 4 years, so why not?

I'd like to paint this shot from the film someday. More on this work of genius later.
