Será que adivinham de que gato estamos a falar? Abrimos o mês à conversa com o realizador Joaquim Sapinho sobre o filme ALICE IN WONDERLAND, que estreou em Portugal com o título ALICE NO PAÍS DAS FADAS, porque terá sido esta Alice, “filha” N de Lewis Carroll e dos estúdios da Disney, a alimentar a fantasia desvairada de muitas infâncias desde os anos cinquenta, incluindo a do próprio realizador. Voltamos à Alice no último sábado de novembro, desta vez a ALICE NO PAÍS DAS MARAVILHAS de carne e osso de Tim Burton. No dia 9 vamos ver O SONHO DE WADJDA, a primeira longa-metragem da primeira realizadora saudita, Haifaa al-Mansour. Wadjda tem um sonho muito simples – ter uma bicicleta e andar nela –, mas na Arábia Saudita esse sonho simples não é para mulheres..., mas talvez seja para Wadjda. Já Zazie, a miúda explosiva do filme de Louis Malle, ZAZIE NO METRO, instala o caos à sua volta só para andar de metro, fazendo jus ao seu criador, o poeta do absurdo Raymond Queneau. Apresentadas as três mulheres, vamos ao gato. Trata-se do maravilhoso, fantástico e inolvidável Gato Félix, que nos visita na sua encarnação mais primitiva, mudo e a preto e branco, ao som do piano de Charlie Mancini.

  • Meryll Sarco Introduction
    The written works of Meryll Sarco Introduction Below is an excerpt from my blog: http://meryllsarco.wordpress.com. Who am I? I am not defined by my age, my race, nor my ancestry. Though, I think it would still be cool to to tell you that I am a Filipino who grew up and resides in the busy city of Metro Manila; born to an Ilonggo father and a Davaoeno mother. I have one sibling: my favorite brother, two dogs, and a stray cat who have four kittens squatting in our backyard. I am also not defined by any status whatsoever. I am single and at a place in my life where I can say that I am happily and blessedly so. I refuse to be defined by my vocation. In case you’re wondering, I have worked five jobs since graduation, the current one being a business development and marketing professional for a global law firm – a job I am grateful to God for. Yet, this I consider far from my real calling and life purpose. I am not defined by my physical appearance though I honestly admit that I occasionally struggle with the concept of “self-brand” as the marketers of today promote. I am definitely overweight — I have been ever since I was a child. I know that this needs to change, but my physical appearance and the aim to be healthy is not for aesthetic reasons. I don’t want them to be. There is a higher purpose for my attempts at weight loss. I belabor to say all that because I want to emphasize that I am defined by someone else other than myself.
