Tonight starting at 6 EST, there will be a three-hour program on your local PBS station.
7723. alistairConnor - 1/27/2005 12:21:29 AM I just saw a French music-awards show on TV. The opening sequence, live, was a children's choir singing the Kyrie Eleison from the film Les Choristes.
I'm a sucker for choral music, for religious music, for choral religious music... but it just happens that it was the best film I saw last year too...
Gérard Jugnot plays a failed musician, in the late 1940s, prison guard in a reform school for boys, who saves them through music... tear jerker.
nominated for the Oscars, best furrin film. Won't win, but I read somewhere that the damn cute children's choir may be there for Oscar night too, singing the theme song "Sentiers de Gloire". Look out for it.
Sens au coeur de la nuit
L'onde d'espoir
Ardeur de la vie
Sentier de gloire
7724. Ms. No - 1/27/2005 12:28:53 AM Oh, I heard a review of this on NPR and was really interested in seeing it. I'll probably end up waiting for video, but just hearing the little bits of soundtrack during the review thrilled me. 7725. alistairConnor - 1/27/2005 12:37:12 AM  I took the girls to see it when it came out, because we sing in the village choir. We loved it. Then it just built by word of mouth and became the biggest film of the year.
It was made locally, the landscape is my universe. The leading boy, who really does sing like an angel, is a pretty good actor too. My daughter knows a girl who knows him. (nearly famous)
7726. Ms. No - 1/27/2005 12:41:07 AM Jeez, talented and gorgeous. Good thing he's French and not American. At least he's got a chance of growing to adulthood without becoming a complete fathead. ;-> 7727. judithathome - 1/27/2005 1:32:08 AM The director thinks this young man will lose his marvelous voice once he matures, though. 7728. judithathome - 1/27/2005 1:32:37 AM I'll be willing to bet he'll still be good looking, though. ;-) 7729. resonance - 1/27/2005 6:39:46 AM 
7730. Macnas - 1/28/2005 4:36:50 PM Am now listening to "Punkrock Girl", by the Dead Milkmen. 7731. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 1/29/2005 1:31:08 AM More new work for the Italy show. 7732. judithathome - 1/29/2005 2:07:15 AM Gorgeous stuff, Wiz!! 7733. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 1/29/2005 3:04:38 AM Thanks Judith, any favs? 7734. SnowOwl - 1/29/2005 8:23:42 AM They're all beautiful.
If I had to pick I might choose Rainy Day in Venice, but it would be very difficult to find a favourite. 7735. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 1/29/2005 4:12:26 PM Thank you SnowOwl, I appreciate the input. 7736. Magoseph - 1/29/2005 4:13:00 PM Every picture of the Visions of Italy series reminds me of old provençal villages. Farm Fields with Sun Glints and Hilltop Farm With Sunlit View are my favorite—I like the way light, sheen, skin and brass tones are rendered in Whiz’s work. 7737. judithathome - 1/29/2005 8:13:36 PM I like the farm pieces, especially after the rain.
But if I were able, I'd buy them all! 7738. wabbit - 1/29/2005 8:22:14 PM Ooooh...
Difficult to pick favorites, but I think mine would be Farm, Early Evening and Hilltop Farm With Sunlit View 7739. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 1/29/2005 8:52:36 PM Were back up!
Thanks for the feedback, all - I truly appreciate it. I'm trying to cull and decide which ones to make bigger. The farm fields and Monterrenti are larger than the first studies, but I'm having trouble deciding too.
Should I cut the San Gimignano pieces or improve and refine them? I vividly recall the feeling of walking her dark and cool streets while looking above to the entirely different world of those medieval skyscrapers.
Moreover, I haven't a clue about how Italians will perceive the work - I mean: is it a vision just for the touristas by a tourista or does it capture what they feel too?
France or Italy it's all medieval, I guess. I hate this part of putting a show together. I love the studio and abhor everything else. Nevertheless, more is coming - Venice, Sienna, Umbria, Rome. Pompeii and Sicily. Please bear with me. Or should I say bare with me. I'm on fire and I can't stop!!! 7740. wonkers2 - 1/29/2005 9:50:21 PM Nice stuff, WoW!
