88F this morning, and climbing.
Yesterday saw a wonderful new spanish film with Almodovar actresses and Geraldine Chaplin. Wry, dry, funny and dark. Then, around midnight, they showed PSYCHO on the side of the contemporary museum across the road from Cine Metro. I took photos, and recorded the first 18 minutes on a DAT recorder I had just bought for doing the interviews [which I have yet to do]. I kept recording as Lillian and I walked away to our car - we had to get home. It's a sound-art piece, I've called PSYCHO, SJU 2010 There's a great mix of the sound-track of the film, coquis, busses, audience, car horns, and reggaeton. Then, at the end, we walk away right into the traffic. Tonight, back to the movies, for a Mexican film called Ano Bisiesto. I thought it was Ano Besito. Besitos are kisses. Bisiesto is the leap, in leap year. Such is my confused state a la lingua espanol.From the description: Laura is single, 25 year old journalist who lives in a small apartment in Mexico City.
