… the way art works / Chinese way
The Committee to Protect Journalists points to an interesting – or better to say – shocking interview with Zhang Yimou, film director, who did the coreography for the Beijing opening show:
The Disorder of Things
One hardly hears anything anymore about Italian filmmaker Lina Wertmüller, who once started as Federico Fellini’s assistant on the set of 8 1/2, except that there has been her birthday the other day. But she might be worth to be recalled for some of her extra ordinary films or as the Harvard Film Archive put it in their June series ‘The Disorder of Things’ : .. Wertmüller remains a well-known name, her remarkable films are strangely overlooked and only selectively revisited. And yet, the incredible energy and daring of her most popular works is equally present in lesser-known masterpieces such as All Screwed Up and The Seduction of Mimi, films that are both extremely topical and yet still totally relevant today.
