Its important to know what defines you. I’ve been having problems with that of late. I’ve been on a ‘quest’ to find a sort of underlying truth, since I was quite young, and I think I have found it. The problem is that truth is the opposite of imagination, the act of creation. How can we bring an idea into this world and not have it start off as a lie?
Once I have striped myself down, once there is nothing left but bones, how do I define myself? Only though the act of creation? Maybe life is continual subtraction and addition. Accounting.

Last night Zosia took me to the Barbican where she is employed and we saw ‘Le Conseguenze dell’Amore’ (’Consequences Of Love‘), an Italian movie directed by Paolo Sorrentino. This moive is briming over with style and subtlety and has you engaged the whole way. The pace is slow but not unnecesseraly so and I found myself laughing out loud at some of the stange character interactions. The character is beautifully built up leaving you with a satisfactory truth.
But did I mention the sound track! It features music from Mogwai, James, Terranova, Boards Of Canada and Fila Brazillia. The sound track really made this movie a master piece and brough it together keeping you interested and enhancing the feeling of each scene.
The cinematography is also outstanding even though most of the scences are inside everything is well thought out and the creative camera work seem invaluable to the enhancing the mood of every shot.
This film has so much class it makes everything else out at the moment (Sin City, Episode 3) look like obvious shite.
