For My Shibari-addicts...

"Bondage" (発禁本「美人乱舞」より責める !) a 1977, 83' Noboru Tanaka's film,
on arte tonight.

"In the intimacy of the artist - adept of bondage (shibari> 縛り) - and of his models.
Freely based on the life of painter-photographer Seiu Ito."

His models: his two wives and a
prostitute whose resemblance to
his first wife dragged him into one
Sade-style spiral.










If the story takes all points of view, the photographer's and model's behaviour and
feelings prevail in such an extent that the stressful practice of bondage appears as
naturally admitted.



"I think Nikkatsu's position in the industry is unique. It's a large company,
but we worked on one single concept, sex, for 18 years, and made a very
large number of films. Having sex is an activity where we clearly show our
true natures. Examining the relationships between men and women is one
of the best ways to show the essence of human beings. So we thought that
by working with the theme of sex, we could explore ourselves more deeply
and express the very core of the world."
[Noboru Tanaka - 1937-2006]

3rd Anniversary for ParisPointGriset...

... with 448 posts and 27595 visits since February 2007.
and yesterday, as a present, this :


For some reason, in a couple of days, my counter has gone crazy with your visits and went,
from an average of 50-60 per day, up to almost 300.
The main target was an old post from December 2008, relating a movie broadcasted by Arte
about the Japanese art of Shibari. For the first time, visitors were mostly French, which is even
more surprising since the film is French and was aired on a French TV channel.
If I still don't understand the reasons of this sudden passion for the Shibari, I sure enjoy the results.
Merci, Danke, Thanks, Bedankt, شكرا لك, Obrigado, ありがとうございました, Grazie and
Gracias to you all, whether you are a PPG's Friend, a Follower, a Passerby or... just an Alien.


No red candles, no flowers this year, I got better in my feline bag... some chouquettes
à la crême fouettée (cream puffs), my French version of north Italy's "bignè alla panna
montata" !

A yellow Beatle on Arte, yesteray night...

... I loved !


Arte broadcasted a 2008 Yishai Orian's
movie in which the author is facing the
painful selling of his 40 years old yellow
rusty Volkswagen Beatle...

When finally he has the better idea to have
it completely refurbished for cheap in
Jordan... well, that is the best part of the
movie.




Have a look at the trailer...

ParisPointGriset Banned from Entrecard !

Just received the following message from Entrecard (Limited):

Quote
Your account 'ParisPointGriset' on entrecard.com
has been deleted.
The administrator gave the following reason:
Nudity is not permitted on Entrecard.
Unquote


Prudish, prim and proper deep America, mixing up culture
and obscenity !

At first sight - reading the EC message, I thought they definitely got some
problem lately with all those tweets all around - then I've read the reason
why my account was deleted : nudity ! (see previous post).
As a matter of fact, they deleted G@ttoGiallo's account
which means its 2 blogs !
Effectively, due to Africa's extremely hot climate, G@tto's
African blog risks to feature some nudity as well...
yes, they got a problem at EC.


Yours faithfully,
G@tto

Feb. 14/2010 update :
PPG has never had as much
visits as since its post on Shibari
and since EntreCard kicked it out.
Curious enough, visitors mostly
came from France.

Shibari or the Art of Eroticism.

A fascinating sight of Japanese traditions and codes through the
looking glass of film maker Xavier Brillat.
His film, Haruki Yukimura & Nana-Chan, (2006/38mn), featured
in many film festivals and recently broadcasted by arte TV channel.





Master Haruki Yukimura and model Nana Chan featuring Shibari's knotting and
unknotting art in an intimate atmosphere made of soft sounds and impressive images.

who focused on deviant art and japanese
erotic culture, here in a video interview
with Xavier Brillat about his film...

- Good and Bad News must spread over... thanks Dave. 
- check out DandelionSalad's article... - the Ethicurean's open letter to Monsanto... - and the TopList links about Monsanto...

Sept. 2010 update > Germany has banned the cultivation of GM corn, claiming that MON 810 is dangerous for the environment. But that argument might not stand up in court and Berlin could face fines totalling millions of euros if American multinational Monsanto decides to challenge the prohibition on its seed.
