About me

Gender	Female
Industry	Education
Location	London, United Kingdom
Interests	I love film, film, and film again. Almodovar is a endless source of inspiration and an object of a MAJOR envy. I even considered moving to Spain to stalk on him until he marries me, until I found out he was not interested in girls (unless they are Penelope Cruz). I'm fascinated by postmodernism, italian, scandinavian and spanish design. Jazz has been my not-very-secret lover since I was 12. I still adore kitsch, but my disposition for plastic-fantastic died suddenly while visiting Camden High Street and realised I'm not far off from fitting in there perfectly. Continue to get stirred by dance, especially jazz and broadway, but no time and motivation to sign up for some classes again (shame on me!) Oh. And I snowboard whenever I can, so counting the days for my next trip to Dolomites in Feb '09!
Favorite movies	God...where do I start? Obviously anything made by Almodovar the God, All About My Mother being my favourite, followed by High Heels, Kika, What Have I Done to Deserve This and Women On the Verge of Nervous Breakdown. Woody Allen - Manhattan, Annie Hall, Deconstructing Harry, Zelig etc., Purple Rose of Cairo, Europa, Europa (viva Agnieszka Holland), Wong Kar Wai and Happy Together, 2046, Chungking Express, In The Mood For Love, Reservoir Dogs, Jackie Brown, Four Rooms, True Romance. Bombon El Perro, El Bana del Papa, Jamon Jamon (Penelope Cruz the rising star), Educating Rita (lovely Julie Waters), Fargo, Barton Fink and Coen Brothers for their bitter reality, Adaptation, Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, Charlie Kauffman is shamelessly brilliant, 25th Hour, Do the Right Thing and Spike Lee for diversity, Vodka Lemon, Lemon Tree, WALTZ WITH BASHIR (one of the interviewee lives in MY kibbutz!), Elephant, MILK, My Own Private Idaho, Paranoid Park, Gus Van Sant love love love, Lost In Translation and Virgin Suicides (Wasn't it obvious after the Godfather that Sophia would be a genius director, since her acting skills are less than great?), David Lynch, do I have to mention him? Fight Club, Memento, Crash, Thelma and Louise, Stranger Than fiction (I laughed SO hard!), and many many many more but I think I'm running out of space in here.
