oliver

I've started to be slightly obsessed with Oliver Jeffers. I mentioned here before how I love his books and illustrations, but last months I discovered 'Lost and Found' film as well. Incredibly sweet, I don't even mind my daughter watches it over and over again. I also bought one of his posters for A. bedroom, can't wait to see it. Have you got any of his books? Does anyone have ' The heart and the bottle' ? if yes what do you think of it? M. thinks he is terribly overrated and this book isn't for children at all...probably not, but I like it:)

film exchange

Duo, originally uploaded by At Home With Red.

While I was working this week I was listening to some old and new soundtracks we have. I love films and by writing this post I realize that most of the films I like have great music. Basically I'm a sucker for soundtracks. Here are some of them. In my opinion great films and great music. You can click on the name of the films and see the trailers.

Amoros Perros- "car accident connects three stories, each involving characters dealing with loss, regret, and life's harsh realities, all in the name of love" , Mexican

Babel - "4 interlocking stories all connected by a single gun all converge at the end and reveal a complex and tragic story of the lives of humanity around the world and how we truly aren't all that different." based in Marroco...and by the way Brad looks really good in there...

Piano- " There is a silence where hath been no sound. There is a silence where no sound may be in the cold grave under the deep deep sea.", classic

The End of Affair - the reason I called my company Sarah & Bendrix

Leaving Las Vegas- romantic drama film about a relationship between a suicidal alcoholic and a prostitute in Las Vegas ...Nicolas looks cool as well

The Reader- "WWII Germany: Nearly a decade after his affair with an older woman came to a mysterious end, law student Michael Berg re-encounters his former lover as she defends herself in a war-crime trial"...very strong story and again Raph Fiennes...love him

Juno - "Faced with an unplanned pregnancy, an offbeat young woman makes an unusual decision regarding her unborn child.

Frida- "A biography of artist Frida Kahlo, who channeled the pain of a crippling injury and her tempestuous marriage into her work", Salma Hayek is brilliant

The Girl with a pearl Earing- "A young maid working in the house of painter Johannes Vermeer becomes his talented assistant and the model for one of his most famous works", sentimental, visually beautiful

The Motorcycle Diaries- "The dramatization of a motorcycle road trip Che Guevara went on in his youth that showed him his life's calling. "

Snatch- Guy Ritchie's gangster story

Dead Man - "On the run after murdering a man, accountant William Blake encounters a strange Indian named "Nobody" who prepares him for his journey into the spiritual world". ...Johny Depp very best..

I have always loved films and when I was a teenager I used to go to a film club and still remember watching independent movies on Mondays nights...like these

Luis Bunuel - The Discreet Charm of Bourgeoise and Belle de Jour

Carlos Saura - like Peppermint Frape

and Double life of Veronique...

What about you ? do you like films? have you got any tips/ recommendations ? any film you have seen recently?

Coco

Last night I finally watched Coco (before Chanel) with Audrey Tautou ( she is one of my favourite) and I really liked it. French surroundings, costumes, music and Audrey was just perfect for cold autumn evening. Have you seen the film ? did you like it ?
