I hope you had a lovely weekend. I had spend mine on island Hvar.
Nadam se da vam je vikend bio ugodan. Ja sam svoj provela na Hvaru.
In this post, I'll share with you a review of The Count of Monte Cristo. I don't go to theatre/movies often. In fact, years have been known to pass without me seeing a film on the big screen. However, when I saw the poster for the new 2024 The Count of Monte Cristo movie, I knew I simply had to go. I really wanted to see this film, and I didn't even read the reviews or watch the trailer for it. I wasn't even intimidated by the fact it is a three hours long. Afterall, it's based on a rather long novel (that I happen to adore), so I didn't expect it to be short. Now, I usually review books on my blog, not movies. However, perhaps this film review won't come as a surprise to you. I don't know if you have noticed, but I included a few Monte Cristo quotes in my last post . So, you could say this Monte Cristo themed post was sort of teased or at least expected. In the post preceding that one, I mentioned how much I like French movies and recommended...
Split is famous for its Unesco protected Old town that is basically a preserved ancient Roman palace, but there is more to Split then just its ancient part. As a lover of history, I often post about the old parts of Split. As a lover of architecture, I sometimes post about the parts of Split built in the seventies and eighties! If you have been following my blog for a while, you might have come across posts showcasing modern neighbourhoods such as Split 3 (with its University Campus ), Trstenik (with its signature skyscrapers) and Žnjan (that is not restricted to the namesake beach but rather a whole neighbourhood). There is a lot to see in Split. Besides the more well known ancient parts of Split, there are also these award winning modern but still historical neighbourhoods, a triumph of brutalist architecture dating back to the seventies and the eighties. Dinko Kovačić , in particular, is a Split architect whose work continues to amaze me and inspi...
With summer being in full spring, I caught myself thinking about iconic summer outfits. Do you know what came to my mind? Costumes/outfits worn by Monica Bellucci when she played Malena Scordia in an iconic Italian movie set on Sicily. The costumes for that movie were designed by an acclaimed Italian costume designer Maurizio Millenotti and he outdone himself! Seeing that Malena is a historical movie, Maurizio choose quite timeless outfits and cuts that will ever go out of style. That fact makes Malena movie the perfect place to look for inspiration! Moreover, I feel that Monica Bellucci's personal style is quite similar to Malena's (i.e. to the style of the character she is playing). There is definitely a Mediterranean lady feel about Malena/Monica Bellucci. What says summer better than Mediterranean and Sicily? Today we'll analyze Malena's style and see what we can learn from her. There is much to learn! Having analyzed looks that Monica wore in iconic Malena ...
Hello, dear readers! Today I shall review an Indian book Mafia Queens of Mumbai ( written by Syed Hussain Zaidi and Jane Borges ) and a film Gangubai Kathiawadi ( directed by Sanjay Leela Bhasali .) . Is there a connection between the two? There certainly is. Both talk about life of a real person- Gangubai Kathiawadi, an Indian social activist with mafia ties born in 1907. However, in the book Gangubai is but a chapter, while in the movie she is the sole protagonist. Still, Mafia Queens of Mumbai definitely inspired the movie Gangubai Kathiawadi. I read the book before I watched the film, but the film is the reason why I read the book. How come? Well, I came across one of the music videos for this movie by chance. If you are new to Indian cinematography (particularly Bollywood), just a quick note- Indian movies often include several musical numbers. So, within a film you will have these long musical numbers (musical videos of sorts). In add...
