A Giant Squid

家的附近有一個market。
屬於露天,小型的那一種。
在這裡, 可找到生活上的基本需要:
麵包,蔬果,魚肉,或 雜貨。
每一個Saturday,每一次經過賣海鮮的檔口,
我們也會很自然地走到檔口前看看今天有什麼新鮮的。
就是這樣,我們的錢包也會很容易被破。
今次, 看中的是一條giant squid,
數量不多,但看似很新鮮。
魚檔老板,法國人,猜中我們的心思,
馬上從排列整齊的烏賊中挑選一條染滿墨汁的,
顯示到我們面前,他說:“This is the best.”
我們沒多想,點點頭,便接受了。
他把烏賊磅一磅,算一算,說:“8 pounds, okay?”
八鎊一條烏賊!! 我們交換一下眼神,笑一笑,便接受了。
反正是新年,也應該好好對待自己。
藉口
,多易找。

A Piece of Cake

不需要多餘的奢侈
只需要
一分心思 +
一句祝福 +
一件蛋糕 。

"Life on Earth is one of the most searching and poetic meditations on Africa at the beginning of a new millennium. On the eve of the year 2000, Sissako returns to his father's village Sokolo - a few houses in teh heart of the Mali Savannah. The passage to the new century comes about without major changes in these places where time seems to have stood still." p.42, BFI Guide (December 2008)

Gomorrah, 081108

Official Website: http://gomorrahmovie.co.uk/


"Based on Roberto Saviono's acclaimed non-fiction book, this sprawling account of the Naples-based Camorra crime syndicate was one of the stand-outs of this year's Cannes. Interweaving four loosely connected strands, involving both the criminals and their victims, this is a resolutely unglamorous portrait of mob culture, rooted in a gritty portrait of some of Naples' most impoverished districts that mixes an unflinching sense of documentary realism with moments of striking visual strangeness. a gripping, harrowing movie." - p.50, BFI Guide (November 2008)
