Movies:
§ After the wedding, by Susanne Bier (2006). Jacob works in India, in an orphanage. When the orphanage is threatened by closure, he receives an unusual offer. A Danish businessman, Jørgen, offers him a big donation. There are, however, certain conditions. Jacob must return in Denmark and take part in the wedding of Jørgen's daughter. The wedding proves to be a critical juncture between past and present and catapults Jacob into the most intense dilemma of his life. – Posted by Dawood, Italy
§ Le conseguenze dell'amore, by Paolo Sorrentino (2005). For those of you who enjoy to discover new things, new directors, and not so common stories, here you have an opportunity to see a movie quite different from the rest: appealing, bit philosophical, bizarre love story within the more regular sort of thriller frame. Keep an eye on the delicious black sense of humor of the main character. – Posted by Dav, Catalunya
Tv series:
§ Lost , by Jeffrey Lieber, J. J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof (started in 2004). Plane crash's not a new subject for fiction. Why's that old-content TV series been having such a big audience? We hypothesize that 9/11 was the beginning of the Post-Teletransportation-Era. – Posted by Incuilinus, Italy
Books:
§ The mystery of Majorana, by Leonardo Sciascia. Ettore Majorana was one of the young physics who, in the '30ies, investigated on radioactivity with Enrico Fermi. He was a genius, "like Galileo and Newton", Fermi said. He suddenly disappeared at the age of 31. Sciascia's hypothesis is intriguing: Majorana first understood the consequences of radioactivity and hid out, whereas his colleagues participated to the Bomb experiments. – Posted by Marco Inz, Italy
§ Death in a strange country , by Donna Leon (1993). Italian civil society and professional politicians have been recently struggling with the controversial present consequences of the Marshall plan, which, after 1947, disseminated NATO military bases all around Europe. In this episode, Commissario Brunetti, the protagonist of Leon's series, is dealing with a very complicate case regarding just the Vicenza NATO base…and unfortunately the case is about a really up-to-date matter as well. – Posted by Marco Inz, Italy
§ Figlia di una vestaglia blu, by Simona Baldanzi (2006). An Italian young writer tells us about the workers world of her country between two different generations. Two different points of view interlace each other in a beautiful story of love. Love for the ethic of work, love for men's history and above all love for a territory: the beautiful mountains of Mugello. – Posted by Fra, Italy

Pazzesco, proprio ieri pensavo di pubblicare un post come questo tuo, con consigli basati sulle mie ultime letture, visioni (cinematografiche), etc.
E dopo il commentone di Barcellona ti metto tra i links, cosi' non devo ogni volta recuperarti dai commenti.
Se vuoi dare consigli, sei piu' che benvenuta su Ulysses...perche' non scrivi qualcosa? Ti mando l'invito, e ti metto tra i links!
già.. potresti scriveri due righe su The Infinite Jest per esempio.
