    Van Gogh : de Hollywood au festival de Cannes

    May 14, 2014 / 0 Comments

    Le 18 juillet 1944, le général S.S Tanz, héros de la campagne de Russie et nettoyeur de Varsovie, pénètre dans le musée de l’Orangerie à Paris. En effet, depuis 1940, les services allemands réquisitionnent les œuvres d’art, tant auprès des collectionneurs juifs que lors de pillages méthodiques. Dans ce musée, une salle est alors réservée à l’art « dégénéré » selon la définition nazie. Là se côtoient des tableaux de Toulouse-Lautrec, Chagall, Kandinsky et autres. Parmi ces chefs-d’œuvre, le général Tanz aperçoit un autoportrait de Van Gogh. A sa vue, le général est pris de sueur, son visage se tord, son équilibre se rompt, manquant de le faire chuter. « J’étais arrivé à…

    I’m not crazy; my mother had me tested.

    May 30, 2013 / 0 Comments

    Arguably, most forms of art worth lengthy discussion have a bit of madness behind them, whether it is a painting, film, or novel. Personally, I find that my creative work suffers a bit when everything in my life feels completely balanced. Think about the mental states of various actors, painters, and authors. Off of the top of my head, I can come up with Tilda Swinson, Tom Cruise, Charlie Sheen, Hemingway, Tolstoy, Poe, Wolfe, Caravaggio, (cough) Hitler… I could list tons and tons, but I’d much rather hear from you. But madness is rather subjective, isn’t it?

    Hiroshige mon amour,

    February 27, 2013 / 0 Comments

    Soyons clairs, je n’ai pas découvert le Japon avec les œuvres d’Hiroshige, Utamaro ou Hokusai. En vérité, j’ai d’abord rencontré les Japonais avec Tintin et le lotus bleu d’Hergé, puis plus tard avec le film Le Barbare et la Geisha, John Wayne étant l’acteur principal. C’est l’histoire authentique de Towsend Harris et de la geisha Okichi dont en fut tiré un roman puis un opéra : Madame Butterfly de Puccini. Le cinéma m’a aussi conduit sur les pas du Dernier Samouraï avec Tom Cruise, histoire d’un officier américain qui aide de ses conseils un samouraï rebelle. Dans la réalité, c’est l’histoire d’un français, Jules Brunet qui finit Général de division. J’ai…

    A Love-Letter to the Land of the Rising Sun

    January 2, 2013 / 0 Comments

    For those of us who have never been to Japan, we can only picture the beautiful vista of the Land of the Rising Sun with the help of popular films such as Memoirs of a Geisha, Babel, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, Lost in Translation, and The Last Samurai. For me, it was Memoirs of a Geisha which truly began my love affair with Japan.  (Although, Tom Cruise did give it his best effort!)  A hauntingly beautiful story, love, betrayal, hope, the mystery of the Orient: despite the controversy of a Chinese actress portraying a Japanese geisha, I personally feel that Zhang Ziyi was perfectly cast.  To top…
