Love your descriptions…. And I have a film tip for you, although it is in French-Belgian. “God lives in Brussels” . It is totally absurd,tragic and differently noir…

French, French-Belgian, French-Algerian, French-Canadian… I’m all on board. I just watched the trailer for “Brand New Testament” (if that’s the one you’re referring to? by Van Dormael?) and added it to my list.

Oooh, I love this theme and these pics are great, especially the first two, and especially the second one. It kind of reminds me of a Francis Bacon painting. I love it. I’d hang it up in my living room.

I feel like it could be a corner in one of his paintings, like maybe this one https://artblart.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/francis-bacon-chimpanzee-1955.jpg?w=655 or others that have that similar darkness.

Neat. Thanks for the kinds words – and the reference/image. I like the interesting use of geometrical lines Bacon’s work (that is, from the little that I’ve looked at).

You’re welcome. Yeah, I like the contrast of the lines with the brush strokes of the faces and other images.
