LIST OF FAVORITES
 

We are presenting here the teaser-poster for “I’m So Excited!”, designed by Jean-Paul Goude. The idea is that everything that happens inside the plane is partying and transgression. It’s true that the threat of a very serious technical failure is hanging over the passengers, but they transform fear into abandon, and hysteria into a sentimental and physical orgy. I’m not going to say any more, the entire cast and crew have taken a vow of silence, and so have I.

In this week of binges and lists, here are my favorites in the sections of music and cinema. As I have to feed the tinnitus with sounds to distract it, I spend the whole day listening to music.
