Wednesday, 1st Jan, sees the opening of ‘Nymphomaniac’, the latest film from Danish director Lars von Trier who says that he was inspired by Proust. Various actresses including Charlotte Gainsburg play the central character whose erotic development is charted. ‘Perplexing, perposterous and utterly fascinating’, said the Guardian. Also stars Jamie Bell who has obviously come some way from Billy Elliot!
The following week, 8th Jan, we get a chance to see ‘Philomena’ (more…)
The South of France. Enchanted by the deep blue of the Mediterranean, the olive trees, poppies, irises and that dazzling light, artists found their creativity flourished under the hot sun. My new book takes you on a journey visiting museums and galleries as well as artists’ studios and their favourite painting spots. From Van Gogh in Arles, to Signac in Saint-Tropez; from Cézanne in Aix, over to Nice for Renoir and Matisse, the story unfolds of artists who knew each other and painted together in the warm south. Prepare too to meet colourful local artists who captured their beloved Provence for us to enjoy.
