Taylor Wessing - National Portrait Gallery
The National Portrait Gallery was one of the greats discoveries for me this year - it's ecletic collection and beautiful building compells to go again and again... if you would be so lucky to be in London. As I like to get invited to things, I signed in to get the news of the NPG - bad idea. Now I can only #wishiwasthere.

Pina by Wim Wenders
Nowadays, few surprises seem to await moviegoers. If so, an extremely vanguardist film as The Three of Life of Mr. Malick or a twist in tone from Almódovar in La Piel que Habito. But not quite as extraordinary as what Wim Wenders has accomplished with "Pina".
Two days ago, I could hardly imagine myself recommending someone to see a movie - any movie - in 3-D. Even if it might look funny in cartoons, I often find it way too much and I like the fact that cinema is a bidimensional art. And now I encourage you to look urgently for a movie theather where "Pina" is showing in 3D.
Not really as seeing dancers live but even more so: you see them so close to you, so alive, lips trembling, watery eyes sparkling, heavy breathing, faces changes. What you miss when you see a dance show is how people are dancing also with their eyes, their ears, their fingertips... not this time.
Definetely, one of my choices of the year.
Pina / dance, dance, otherwise we are lost

Musical (says IMDB... I would say pure and simple magic)

Threatening to come back to really keeping this blog alive, I started a new thing: a column of links on the right of this blog where you can see different exhibitions that I more than probably I won't be able to see but I would love to. If anyone is around and wants to make a short piece on it, please, send me a message and I will include their text in this humble blog.
