Hey Stella!

I was truly blessed in my adolescence to get the chance to see Kazan's Streetcar Named Desire at the cinema, an old reel from some dusty warehouse. My favorite probably of Kazan's films with East of Eden. This scene, I had read a lot about it, the sweaty torn shirt of Brando, the sultry passion that oozes from every word and movement, the sexual desire that emanates from the bodies. This scene has stayed with me as a monument of cinema and of the Actor's Studio technique which was a property of Brando.



This scene has been on my mind for days now. Enjoy

Theme on Leonard Cohen

Karrer sitting in the Titanik bar, a black and white face a still life- it's all over 1000 kisses deep

 

Chow-Mo Wan's whispering into the stones of ancient monuments in Vietnam - deafening silence 1000 kisses deep

 

Su-Li Zhen a flower in bloom, never blossoming, her 27 dresses adorning her like a prison- have you ever seen such beautiful silence 1000 kisses deep?

Pierrot disguised in blue, vanishing into the sun and sea - the matter of poetry 1000 kisses deep

The vagabond gazing into the eyes of the blind girl - she sees! 1000 kisses deep

 

Diane your shattered Hollywood dream- murderous rage and a lover's  innate desire - scorned by Rita 1000 kisses deep

 

Andreas crossing through the scarred Greek landscape pursuing Stella- his logic and reason like a veil trampled underfoot - αιώνες παγωμένοι 1000 kisses deep

Notre Musique

                                 

pour elle

 

                                

A fading E minor reverberating in  the throes of time, the revolution dies and love lies bleeding on the shoreline

 

 

                              Qu-est-ce que Notre Musique Jean-Luc my father?

                                 

                                 destruction, the chords of unrest

 

  diminished hearts "Ive seen the future brother! it is murder, and love is the only engine of survival" wrote the poet                 

               

 

Seeking still for the point where the sky meets the earth, the dreamers ride into the sun, Pierrot and Mariane, a syncopated montage sequence into the unknown - amour fou

 

 

L'amour c'est mon musique, a major chord a regime of truth the gaze of Alexander supertramp Into the Wild, her lips, her skin and smell, the abyss in her eyes - penetrating beams of light where the sky meets the earth.
