5 more days only, but to prepare a Thanksgiving's eve in the middle of the week... will you have enough time? will you succeed? There is always a solution... Chef Wobles is now in Paris and at your disposal, with its wealth of years of experience, you only have to call... quickly. This traditional American style menu is recommended, taking into account that you can always discuss, isn't it? [click on image to enlarge]
I mean the movie, of course. A 24 month-production is nothing compared to Ramesses' waiting for 3200 years to accomplish his trip on the screen.
You can see the trailer, in ENGLISH and FRENCH versions and even download the 2 parts of the film.

Le M.U.R.# 84 - Paul Santoleri - November 14/2010 "The work is a way to keep time, to maintain an awareness of my own relationship to my inner and outer world."
But now, in 2010, 120 years later, he is back as...'na stampa e 'na figura !
LA SCOMPARSA DI PATÒ[The Vanishing of Patò] Challenging the allegations of L'Araldo di Montelusa, edition of Monday 28 April 1890 - one of the precious documents 'unearthed' by Andrea Camilleri and that constitute the basis on which the Sicilian writer has been able to build the imaginary and strange adventure as well as the possible death of Mr Pato - a recent survey, carried out in close collaboration between MM Camilleri, Mortelliti and Nichetti, gives us back the same man, priciso 'ntifico, in good shape and ready for a new adventure... the same adventure, in fact, brought by a movie.
Director of the Trinacria bank of Vigàta and notable of the town, Mr. Antonio Pato usually plays the role of Judas in the 'Passion of Christ' for the traditional Venerdì Santo performance and each year, as he commits suicide, Judas disappears from the scene through a trapdoor disguised under his feet. But in the year 1890, the accountant disappears once and for all.Is Patò dead or is he hiding ? Murì Patò o s’ammucciò? The investigation is set in motion in Vigàta, revealing the usual rivalry between the Reali Carabinieri and the Pubblica Sicurezza, punctuated by the provincial and local newspaper articles and some anonymous and spicy commentaries that bloom on the walls of the city. Rumors and gossip explode, heralds of a scandal that the authorities will suffocate... at the expense of truth.
This is the first film adaptation of a historical novel by Camilleri, partly because his detective series, animated by his Inspector Montalbano is far more popular, at least in Italy, and has already inspired a television series, rather poor in my opinion and I'm afraid it would require a bigger talent to bring to the screen a historical novel by Camilleri, without betraying the essence of his creation. We can always wait until the movie comes out, no hurry. ___ LA SCOMPARSA DI PATÒ, Italy, 2010 Director: Rocco Mortelliti Screenplay: Andrea Camilleri, Rocco Mortelliti, Maurizio Nichetti Cast: Nino Frassica, Maurizio Casagrande, Neri Marcorè [Patò], Alessandra Mortelliti Production: 13 Dicembre S.r.l. ___
In a recent interview, the writer points out, with his usual irony, the similarities between the pressures exerted on the police in his novel, with those we still can find today in the late Berlusconi's 'affairs'. Citing Tomasi di Lampedusa in Il Gattopardo, Camilleri notes that even today, in Italy, everything changes in such a way that nothing changes. ___

-Theme :Dynamics of Peace The world has never known a lasting peace time between different countries, people, or neighbors, nor even between members of one family. Because our world has not experienced this state that we call peace, we do need to learn tolerance, cooperation and sharing. In short, it seems we should change our behavior. - Check out the Program -and theSpeakers...
