In Reply to: Hey Patrick... finishing the Bunuel's book... posted by Victor Khomenko on May 27, 2004 at 18:03:46:
I am truly sorry to have you sent a " castrate " version! His films list was also a chapter I really did appreciated. He was human and donīt forget it was only semi-biographical.
So he said. The first chapter with his mother having lost her memory and he, testing his, was particulary sad for me ( my mother had the same..)
Yes I thought the perfect companion book, to have near your bedside. I wish I had more of its kind ....
Glad you had some pleasure from it.
And Anya too?
Follow Ups:
It was nice to see things like L'Atalante on the list.The book has that strong sadness to it, that is visible through most chapters, sometimes as the events, more often as the somber tone, that made it almost painful to read at times. It is obvious the writer is suffering - that would be clear even without the opening Memory chapter... That makes one wonder - was it the physical problems that caused that pain in his voice, or was the man naturally predisposed to sadness? I think that was his character. And of course every old goat should relate to the last chapter... there is no right way of going, and even in his case - he died shortly after writing this book - we don't know if his vision had changed towards the end. We know he died of cirrhosis of the liver, but what was his state of mind at that time?
Given that tone Anya is slightly hesitant to continue with it and I am not pushing her, as I am unsure myself.
I think from here I will go to the book on Tarkovsky (in Russian) and also someone gave me The House of Sand and Fog... I haven't seen the movie, so this should make sense - reading a book after seeing the film is never a good idea in my view, but here the impression is already partially set - the book cover has the pictures of the two actors...
Anya should go on...He wrote he is happy to leave this crasy world...and he would like to come back just to buy a newspaper, read it for what did happen and vanish again in the memory of time....Nice touch.
There is also a problem of mentality, I donīt find this book so sad, maybe it is the South mentality that we have in the Prrovence ( melancoly ) and in countries like Spain.
No always thhe book and then the picture, of course.
