The daisy landscape
Sep. 12th, 2008 10:28 amI saw a review of a documentary called Les Plages d'Agnès the other day. It featured a key quote from the subject, a film-maker called Agnès Varda:
If you open people, you'll find landscapes. If you open me, you'll find beaches.
That struck a chord. If you open me, you'll find flat, flat fields with knee-high, pale yellow grass dotted with sheep, and dark green cyprus hedges in the distance. And I was suddenly homesick for somewhere I haven't seen for sixteen years.
(It occurs to me now that she was wrong: if you go around opening people, what you'll really find is yourself, in a lot of trouble.)
Anyway, what's your landscape?
On a cheerier, but still film-related note, this made me laugh.
