coffee no. 127

Question of the day:
why do flies always fly in the central part of the room, just under the lamp?

There are films that create very unique atmosphere around viewers. They do not only tell the story, show fascinating people or places, but they have very specific ability to grab us INSIDE. To make us sitting at the table, lying under the bed, walking on the street -- just inside, in that other reality, seemingly so distant and impenetrable.
They give as the opportunity to smell the air, taste some wine, touch the pillow... Beyond present time and space. We are like ghosts, standing always two or three centimetres away, imperceptible, thus grasping.
Yesterday I rewatched "Stealing beauty" by Bernardo Bertolucci. This is such a film.
