Feb. 16th, 2019 05:56 pmWell, back to winter for us. Overcast, grey, dreary, damp, and cold. :-P
Was saddened to open up the Guardian today (it wasn't in the headlines of the Washington Post yet) and see that the great actor Bruno Ganz had passed away. Yes, Downfall was a great film, but I'll always remember him in Wings of Desire, as the angel who wanted to be human, with its gorgeous black-and-white cinematography and vision of public libraries as sacred spaces. I described it last year as exquisite and talky and enthralling and goofy, and I'd still go with that. :-)
I want it to be warm and sunny again. Sigh.
