It's virtually impossible not to love the interwar epoch.

Paul Mercer composed this original score. It is available on his album "Silents"

Segunda película del gran fotógrafo dadaísta Man Ray. Protagonizada por la modelo y amante del director Kiki de Montparnasse, Emak Bakia -que significa "Déjame sola" en euskera- es un cinepoema que narra el sueño de una mujer a través de técnicas fílmicas como el rayógrafo o la doble exposición que tanto éxito habían tenido tres años antes en Le Retour à la raison.

Not really, but I have done literary criticism / literary theory and slowly became more cynical about it. I thought what you said about them being pivotal / important was interesting. And also I do like some authors that influenced criticism... e..g Foucault, your compatriot Gramsci .

However I feel interpretation and criticism is just done for the sake of it sometimes. It feels meaningless. I would much rather just enjoy a book / film than make up strange "interpretations" about it.
