Cuvintele, pe care nu le-am spus,
Sunt tot atâtea trepte ce coboară,
Cu sufletul tot mai adânc m-am dus,
Pe treptele tăcerii ca pe-o scară.
Ca-ntr-un cuprins de peşteră boltit,
M-am coborât în lumea nerostirii,
Şi-n cutele de piatră i-am gătit,
Acolo-n fund, un ascunziş Iubirii.
Cuvintele pe care nu le-am spus,
Sunt tot atâtea trepte de tăcere:
Adânc în mine, mai adânc m-am dus,
Acolo, unde orice vorbă piere.
De-acolo, din limanul necuprins,
Din lumea fără mal a nerostirii,
Pe treptele tăcerii s-au prelins
Din ascunziş, luminile iubirii.

Pe 25 iunie 1956 se lansau simultan in British Charts 3 variante ale aceleiasi piese: Unchined Melody. Aceste 3 variante aveau sa fie difuzate pe 25 iunie 1996 la Radio Contact. Nu visam ca va veni vremea sa le procur. Este una din marile mele favorite si voi prelua aici cateva versiuni existente pe Youtube + versurile piesei
Chorus:
Oh my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long lonely time,
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much,
Are you still mine?
I need your love,
I need your love
God speed your love to me.
Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea,
To the open arms of the sea, yeah!
Lonely rivers sigh "wait for me, wait for me"
I'll be coming home,
Wait for me.
Chorus:
Oh my love, my darling
I've hungered,
Hungered for your touch
A long lonely time,
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much,
Are you still mine?
I need your love, I...
I need your love
God speed your love to me

Silvia Pinal in Simon del deserto (1965)
El estilita Simón, discípulo de Simeón el Estilita, se ha mantenido en penitencia de pie sobre una nueva columna de ocho metros durante más de seis años. Un mutilado, un enano y sus cabras y un joven monje lo rodean. Un rico devoto le obsequia una mejor columna y Simón realiza el milagro de devolverle las manos al mutilado. Durante varios días, Simón continúa en penitencia mientras el diablo se le aparece tratando de tentarlo siempre encarnado en una bellísima mujer. El monje Trifón viene a perturbar la repartición de víveres. El diablo tienta de nuevo a Simón. Al final, el diablo se lleva a Simón a un viaje con destino a un cabaret de la ciudad de Nueva York y le ordena quedarse allí.
Simón del Desierto es un mediometraje de Luis Buñuel. Dura 46 minutos y es una obra inacabada del genio de Calanda. Qué más se puede decir de esta comedia histórica. Pues que en ella se retrata la historia de Simón, un asceta del siglo IV que, cual Jesucristo redivivo aspira a ser digno de Dios siguiendo un camino de ayuno y oración. Lo que envuelve al iluminado, es un séquito de monjes que lo adoran y unas cuantas gentes (reseñables son el pastor enano y una anciana taciturna). De entre todo esto surgen situaciones cómicas basadas en los prejuicios religiosos y la confrontación de vivir asumiendo el protocolo de Dios. Lo mejor de la película, inclasificable de todas todas, es ver a Silvia Pinal en el papel de Satanas, tentando de varias formas (muy curiosas todas) a Simón.
Que se esconde por debajo de esta obra. Pues en 1965 Buñuel ya era un genio sin parangón, reconocido en todos los lugares menos en España. Tras su inicial etapa surrealista francesa, y la posterior época mejicana, que se alargaría muchísimos años, Buñuel empezó a rodar desde mediados de los 50 a caballo entre ambos países, firmando obras para productoras francesas y para la Estudios Nacionales mejicanos. No se puede hablar de un declive en su obra, pues pocos años después vendrían Belle de jour, La vía láctea o El discreto encanto de la burguesía.
Silvia Pinal me ha enamorado con esta película. Elegir a una mujer como ella para encarnar al demonio, y hacerlo en forma de colegiala con ligueros, de pastor (que no pastora) con una barba postiza (¡y chuta a una oveja como en La edad de oro, a un perro!) o salida de un ataud que llega arrastrándose solo, mostrando un pecho cual Dafne cachonda, es impagable.
El sentido del humor de Buñuel es increible. Su odio por la Iglesia es tan visceral y tan argumentado que roza lo obvio. Habla de praxis y ascetismo, se ríe de sus dogmas, y al igual que en El anticristo de Nietzsche, nos señala que el catolicismo es una antítesis de la vida, una búsqueda de la antifelicidad.
Simón, a través de sus pensamientos, nos señala su existencia carnal, sus deseos de felicidad, y su privación consciente nos viene a indicar la estupidez de la religión. Una fe basada en la negación que, incomprensiblemente triunfa entre la masa.
Con un final chocante en donde se nos pinta un infierno sesentero aparece una reflexión increible sobre la vida y el placer, y se retrata a Simón en la figura de otro hombre, que fuma en pipa, y donde Claudio Brook, al igual que su alter ego ascético, desdeña la diversión y la felicidad.
Simón: ¿Cómo se llama ese baile?
Satán: "Carne radiactiva" Es lo último... ¡Y el último!
Diría que junto con La jetée, de Chris Marker (1962), es el mejor mediometraje que he visto jamás.
Una obra maestra del humor inteligente. Ved, ved La vida de Brian y buscad diferencias (la principal: aquí hay praxis).

Le Salaire de la peur est un film franco-italien réalisé par Henri-Georges Clouzot, sorti en 1953, adapté du roman du même nom de Georges Arnaud.
Intr-un sat din America Centrala, s-au strans cativa europeni atrasi de mirajul imbogatirii pe meleaguri indepartate. O companie petroliera americana vine sa angajeze patru dintre acesti dezmosteniti ai soartei pentru o operatiune extrem de primejdioasa: transportul unei incarcaturi de nitroglicerina, destinata stingerii unui put de petrol in flacari. Micul convoi format din doua camioane porneste la un drum lung si anevoios, in care o zdruncinatura cat de mica poate fi fatala.

Ava Gardner & Burt Lancaster in The Killers (1946)
Director Robert Siodmak’s The Killers sounds like it would be the perfect film noir and has had a reputation as one of the best of the film noir oeuvre, but it falls far short of its stellar reputation. Based on a short story by Ernest Hemingway, the film tells the story of a contract hit on the Swede (Burt Lancaster) and the investigation that follows. The Swede’s life was insured, and insurance investigator Jim Reardon (Edmond O’Brien) is there to make sure the claim is legitimate before they pay it off, but his investigation leads him to seek out why and by whom the Swede was murdered. The investigation leads through the Swede’s stunted boxing career and his ultimate involvement in a payroll heist.
The film shows promise, opening strongly with sharp gritty dialogue, superbly expressionistic lighting in an excellent roadside diner setting, tough, sleazy, amoral hit men, and a defeated character in the Swede that you just want to know more about. The problem with the film is the story afterwards with insurance investigator Jim Reardon. The film just makes too much of a stretch with this character, as he goes far beyond his duties, and the connections he makes are very slight with so many holes that it is implausible he would reach the conclusions that he does. Also, he is given far too many liberties by the cops, as he rushes with them into a house with his gun drawn while bullets whizz by. Did they forget he’s not a cop? He is also not very interesting to watch, yet we have to see the story unfold through his eyes, which is a real drag.
The film’s strengths are its cinematography by Elwood Bredell, which is wonderfully stark, as well as Ava Gardner’s sexy performance as Kitty Collins, the woman the Swede falls for and who eventually leads him to his downfall. Her allure and sultriness make for a one of a kind femme fatale, and it is easy to see how she can manipulate the Swede or anyone else she wants. It is a shame she does not have a bigger role in the film. The character of the Swede is also underused, and we never really get a sense of who the Swede really was. The role seems more memorable as Lancaster’s debut rather than for the character. This film is certainly watchable and interesting as an example of film noir, but don’t let its reputation raise your expectations too high.
