"Old dreams were good dreams"

This is what Robert Kincaid said in "Bridges of Madison".

So true...

I saw the remake of "Cat people" by Paul Schrader's...24 years from now. And I discovered the streets and the atmosphere of the French Quarter in this movie. I could imagine even smells in restaurants, walks by night, with the movie's music inside my head. A strange feeling of soft melancholia; a peaceful island in the dark sea of my mind, waiting quietly...

Since that time, I never forgot this place. It grew in my mind like a recurrent living day-dream. It was a kind of "romantic cliche" which survived, after all these years; one of the elements of an ideal parallel life.

Time is flowing and the dream claim for its concretization. When you are so deceived by daily events, missed rendez-vous, mistakes; especially when you are so deceived by yourself, morning after morning; when this accumulation effect seems too heavy to stand...it remains something: somewhere in your brain. Take your dreams, look at them and shout : "soon you won't be dreams anymore".

Try to see this movie.

Now I must recover my bag and my passport.

Thanks to Annene for the virtual trip.
