The five obstructions

Lars von Trier made “The Five Obstructions”:http://movies2.nytimes.com/gst/movies/movie.html?v_id=291402 over 2 years and it was released in 2003. Its follows him baiting former teacher Jorgen Leth into remaking his 1967 classic, The perfect Human a number of times. Having just seen it for the 3rd time, some of it is wearing a little thin.. but what I enjoyed especially, is the French woman’s beautiful poetry from the car before she winds up the window and almost disappears – talking about her beauty and her richness in love.

Just before I go, one last dream

I slept badly last night. I had to be up at 6.30 but woke at 3 and found it hard to get back to sleep. I did but only for a brief moment. Long enough to dream about reconciliation. I was in H’s kitchen. I was close up to her and couldn’t see her just hear her voice. She had sensed that my resolve to leave had weakened and was holding on to me and being extremely familiar even while her lodgers and one of our children’s voices could be heard in the hallway. ‘Just use me as you see fit’, she kept saying.

Closing this down

I’ve just moved all these dreams to this blog from somewhere else, hence the unconvincing dates. I started these in February 2006. See blog2 for something else.
