I decided to start a new cycle of posts : each time I borrow dvds or books at any of our libraries, I shall take a photo and show you what I intended to read or watch ; sometimes, I manage to connect to the wifi whilst there and can read the MPAA's rating on IMDB. More often, however, this connection cannot be established and I come back home to check the content in my comfort zone instead.
More than once, I borrow a dvd that I think I can watch, but the task is a complicated one because the french dvd ratings are a joke. Indeed, they display ''all publics'' on rated R movies and shows, and more than once I had to return without even bothering to watch because I'd found out that the graphic nature of whatever I chose was too strong for my sensitivities.
I go to the media library with both my card and my spouse's. We can normally borrow 3 dvd items per card, but they can be whole seasons or boxsets of movies and count as 1, so I don't come home necessarily with only 3 movies per card.
I go there every 1-6 weeks, the maximum duration I can keep any given item after the only allowed prolongation. i tend, however, to cycle every 3 weeks, with more rare exceptions.
Without further ado, here's this weeks result
I have thus far watched
Precious life, a documentary launched at the initiative of a journalist, following struggles to save a 4 month old baby who suffers from an auto immune disease... in the midst of social, religious and political complications...
''La rumeur'', as it turns out is called in original English ''
the children's hour'', and stars as you can see, Hepburn and Maclaine.
I have yet to watch Woody Allen's September, Noonan's Miss Potter, the Japanese Mizoguchi's Crufied lovers - a movie I decided to try after watching his Ugetsu.
I'm not sure I shall watching Paul Newman in The left handed gun, as it revolves cattlemen.
