A Quiet Passion

Another busy day with two films at the festival and a final meetup dinner at the NZAF with Brenda and about eight of the Poz people. A very friendly mid-year winter dinner.
Here is athletic New Zealand at its peak in the famous 1936 Berlin Olympics.
A token gesture from a disappointing papacy.....
The smiling political faces who will be on the pages of Aussie papers when I return.
This is not a lovely result of big Kiwi fraud and avoidance of responsibility - a family colluding.
The first movie of the day about Emily Dickenson, an American feminist writer who seems to have led a sad and frustrated life. Not a poet or writer whom I know well, but an interesting portrayal by director Terence Davies.
At the Penthouse Cinema at Brooklyn I indulged in a pear, walnut and blue cheese salad which deserved recognition.
Eaten in their foyer.....
Finishing with a tour de force by Isabelle Huppert in a raunchy French send-up of today's modern morals and obsession with video gaming. A very entertaining movie if a bit ghastly in subject!
