A quiet December day

Not very much to report today:

The San Diego Reader briefly reviews Lynn Stopkewitch's 1997 film Kissed which deals with a controversial topic. Luis Buñuel's Abismos de Pasión is quoted:

It confirms our suspicions that necrophilia is a subject better approached obliquely, furtively, figuratively: Sleeping Beauty, Laura, Portrait of Jennie, The Brides of Dracula, Truly Madly Deeply, My Boyfriend's Back, Cold Heaven. Not to forget that treasure trove otherwise known as the oeuvre of Luis Buñuel: Un Chien Andalou, L'Age d'Or, Los Olvidados, Wuthering Heights, The Criminal Life of Archibaldo de la Cruz, Viridiana, The Exterminating Angel, Belle de Jour, et al. (Duncan Shepherd)

As usual, the blogosphere brings some Brontës: For Outsanding Work in the Department Of... explains her experience watching (more or less) Jane Eyre 2006, timeless_story on 50 Book Challenge has read Wuthering Heights and feels like the book is not that romantic, Jorie's Reads and L'Aide-Mémoire (in French) post about her reading of Jane Eyre. Finally, Mariakäfer reviews in German, Sparkhouse.
