So unforgettable the movie 'Casablanca' (1942)! So you can imagine that I thought of Rick Blaine's toast to Ilsa Lund: 'Here's looking at you, kid!', when this afternoon Andrena gazed at Sony in the Botanical Garden in chilly Amsterdam.
And just admire those mandibles! They remind me of the movie called in Dutch 'Met jouw tanden in mijn nek' (=With your teeth in my neck), by Polanski as 'The Fearless Vampire Killers" (1967).
Andrena here's on pretty mauve Knautia arvensis, Field scabious. One hopes neither Rick nor Ilsa had need of its medicamental force!

Escenaris on fou filmada el 2001 la obra mestra de Roman Polanski: El Pianista. Tot i que en part fou filmada als famosos estudis Babelsberg de Berlin, Polanski va trobar racons intactes de Varsòvia on rodar la pel·licula força "in situ".
Aquest es el petit carrer Kozia, en ple centre de la ciutat, que apareix a principis de la pel·licula, quan fa poc que Polonia ha estat conquerida pels nazis. De fet el carrer es tant identic als anys 30 que la placa amb el nom apareix a la pel·licula, pel que l'escena passa al mateix lloc figurat (és dels pocs casos).
Aquesta foto forma part de tot un viatge pel centre de Polònia, enfocat especialment en els més tragics moments del Holocaust i la II Guerra Mundial, que esclafà Polonia com pocs llocs, però que alhora contrasta amb l'increible renaixement del país fins al moment actual.

Locations where Roman Polanski's masterpiece The Pianist was filmed in 2001. Although it was partly filmed at the famous Babelsberg Studios in Berlin, Polanski found untouched streets of Warsaw where he could shoot the film quite "in situ".
This is the small Kozia Street, right in the city center (miraculously intact as all around it was destroyed), which appears at the beginning of the film, when Poland has recently been conquered by the Nazis. In fact, the street is so identical to the 1930s that the plaque with it's name appears in the film, so the scene takes place in the same figurative place (one of the few cases).
This photo is part of a trip through central Poland, focused especially on the most tragic moments of the Holocaust and World War II, which devastated Poland like few places, but which at the same time contrasts with the incredible rebirth of the country up to the present day.

"Originariamente cuore pulsante dei commerci della potente Repubblica di Genova, il Porto Antico è stato trasformato da Renzo Piano, in occasione dell'Esposizione Internazionale Specializzata Genova '92 - Colombo '92, per diventare il centro culturale e dell'edutainment della città.
Il Porto Antico ha uno sviluppo lineare di diversi km, dal Molo Vecchio alla Darsena, passando per i Magazini del Cotone, l'Acquario di Genova, il Museo nazionale dell'Antartide, il Bigo, il Museo Luzzati, la Biosfera, Palazzo San Giorgio e il Galata - Museo del mare".

Bona part de les escenes filmades a Varsòvia de fet ho foren al barri de Praga-Polnoc, a la riba oriental del Vístula. Aquest barri va caure en mans sovietiques abans els nazis destruissin tot el que pogueren de la ciutat la tardor de 1944, i per tant conserva l'aire autentic de l'època. La filmació es centrà als carrers Stalowa, Konopacka i Mała.
Aqui en concret és on uns oficials de la Wehrmacht (no SS, Wehrmacht, on també hi havia antisemites), colpegen al pare de Wladislaw Szpilman per no saludar-lo i l'obliguen a baixar de la vorera per caminar pels bassals:

Scenes where Roman Polanski's masterpiece The Pianist was filmed in 2001. Although it was partly filmed at the famous Babelsberg Studios in Berlin, Polanski found untouched corners of Warsaw where he could shoot the film "in situ".
A large part of the scenes filmed in Warsaw were in fact filmed in the Praga-Polnoc district, on the eastern bank of the Vistula River. This district fell into Soviet hands before the Nazis destroyed everything they could of the city in the autumn of 1944, and therefore retains the authentic atmosphere of the time. The filming focused on Stalowa, Konopacka and Mała streets.
This is specifically where a couple of Wehrmacht officers (not SS, Wehrmacht, where there were also anti-Semites) beat Wladislaw Szpilman's father for not saluting them and force him to get off the sidewalk to walk in the gutter:

Here, filming in Stalowa street was ideal for Polanski, as it has real tramway rails, so they could use vintage trams to great efect in many scenes.

Aquí en concret podeu veure el mateix angle on reproduiren el pas entre el ghetto gran i el ghetto petit, tant amb reixes com amb el pont de fusta. El lloc real el vaig visitar al barri de Wola, al carrer Chłodna. Aquí el carrer Stalowa era ideal, ja que té línia de tramvia i varen afegir-ne de autentics, suposo peces de museu. Quan jo vaig ser-hi en passaven de no tant antics (tot i que alguns com aquest tenen ja una edat...).

The filming focused on Stalowa, Konopacka and Mała streets. Here in particular you can see the same angle where they reproduced the passage between the large and small ghettos, both with iron gates and later with the wooden bridge. I had visited the real place in the Wola district, on Chłodna street.
Here, filming in Stalowa street was ideal for Polanski, as it has real tramway rails, so they could use vintage trams to great efect in many scenes. When I took this picture a not-so-old tramway passed through to give some context.

A new documentary film "Roman Polanski : Wanted and Desired" ( wanted in the US as a fugitive from justice for the past 30 years, desired in France where he is admired and respected for his brilliant talent and honoured as an exemplary citizen ) focuses on the 1977 court proceedings of the film director's criminal trial for unlawful sex with a minor. The late Judge Laurence J. Rittenband is presented as the villian of the piece, not Polanski. And today both the crown prosecutor on the case and Polanski's lawyer rebuke the celebrity-status seeking late judge's unethical, bordering on illegal, behaviour & say that Polanski's flight from justice on the eve of sentencing 30 years ago was an understandable action. That justice was NOT about to be served. The 13 year old girl in the equation, now 43, has long ago made a public statement of forgiveness toward Polanski and stops very short of apologizing for the unstoppable press-frenzied chain of events that shaped the rest of the director's life. Polanski is not interviewed for the film but powerful archival footage fills in all the gaps in his life : the recklessness & indulgences as well as his early family life & his career. The coverage of his relationship with his wife, Sharon Tate, prior to her murder by the Manson cultists in 1969 & his emotional state after the event is poignant beyond words. Conclusion : you'd have to be a cold-hearted cynic to not feel some degree of compassion for Roman Polanski after viewing this excellent film.

This splendid full scale pirate ship is named "Neptune" and was built in 1985 for Roman Polanski's film "Pirates". She is said to be be an accurate representation above the waterline but under it she has a steel hull and engines. She was also used as Capt Hook's ship "Jolly Roger" in Neverland.
In Genoa we briefly had a little rain and the moody skies help this image I think. The ship is open to visit for a modest €6 and is extremely detailed.
French postcard by Humour a la carte, Paris, no. ST-187. Nastassja Kinski in Tess (Roman Polanski, 1979).
Beautiful German-born actress Nastassja Kinski (1961) has appeared in more than 60 films. Her starring roles include her Golden Globe Award-winning portrayal of the title character in Tess (1979) and parts in Wim Wenders' films Falsche Bewegung/The Wrong Move (1975), Paris, Texas (1984) and In weiter Ferne, so nah!/Faraway, So Close! (1993).
Nastassja Kinski (pronounced as "nas-TAS-ya") was born as Nastassja Aglaia Nakszyński in Berlin in 1961 (some sources say 1964. She is the daughter of the German actor Klaus Kinski from his marriage to actress Ruth Brigitte Tocki. She is a half-sister to actress Pola Kinski and actor Nikolai Kinski. Her parents divorced in 1968 and Kinski rarely saw her father after the age of 10. She and her mother struggled financially and eventually lived in a commune in Munich. Her career began in Germany as a model. The actress Lisa Kreuzer placed her in the role of the dumb Mignon in Wim Wenders' film Falsche Bewegung/The Wrong Move (1975) starring Rüdiger Vogler and Hanna Schygulla. In Great-Britain she featured in the horror film To the Devil a Daughter (Peter Sykes, 1976), starring Christopher Lee and produced by Hammer Film. That year she had her first major role in an episode of the popular German TV crime show Tatort. This episode, Reifezeugnis/For Your Love Only (1977), had a feature film length and was directed by Wolfgang Petersen at the beginning of his career. Years later, after Kinski had become an international star, the TV film was released theatrically in the U.S. In 1976, Kinski was photographed for French Vogue by director Roman Polanski, and the two started a romantic relationship. She was 15 years old at the time and he was 43. In the cinema Kinski also had a May-December romance in Così come sei/Stay As You Are (Alberto Lattuada, 1978) with Marcello Mastroianni. Polanski urged Kinski to study acting with Lee Strasberg in the United States and Great Britain and cast her in the lead part of his film, Tess (1979), based on the classic novel by Thomas Hardy. The film won three Oscars and Kinski won the Golden Globe for best newcomer. However, Derek Armstrong writes at AllMovie: “The quiet, contemplative nature of the film is echoed, although not so skilfully, in the lead performance of Nastassja Kinski. Seemingly cast more for her soulful eyes (and Polanski's budding relationship with her) than her acting, Kinski gives a tentative, one-note performance that is nearly inaudible. Still, it served to deliver her a variety of other projects and bring her limited stardom.”
Director Francis Ford Coppola brought Nastassja Kinski to the U.S.A. to act for his new Zoetrope Studios. In 1981, photographer Richard Avedon photographed Kinski. Hal Erickson at AllMovie: “Kinski became the dream of male college undergraduates everywhere by posing for a Richard Avedon poster wearing nothing but a large, live python which spiralled around her body. “The first Zoetrope production, One From the Heart (Francis Ford Coppola, 1982), starring Frederic Forrest, Teri Garr and Kinski, failed at the box office and was a major loss for Coppola's new studio. In 1982, she also appeared in the erotic horror film Cat People (Paul Schrader, 1982), which also was not successful commercially. Kinski then split her time between Europe and the United States. In France she filmed La lune dans le caniveau/Moon in the Gutter (Jean-Jacques Beineix, 1983) with Gérard Dépardieu. In Germany, she played Clara Wieck in the biography Frühlingssinfonie/Spring Symphony (Peter Schamoni, 1983) opposite Herbert Grönemeyer as composer Robert Schumann. In Italy she co-starred with Rutger Hauer in In una notte di chiaro di luna/ Up to date (Lina Wertmüller, 1989). And in the U.S. she co-starred with Rudolph Nureyev in Exposed (James Toback, 1983), with Rob Lowe and Jodie Foster in The Hotel New Hampshire (Tony Richardson, 1984), with John Savage in Maria's Lovers (Andrey Konchalovskiy, 1984) and with Al Pacino in Revolution (Al Pacino, 1985). Her most acclaimed film was Paris, Texas (Wim Wenders, 1984) in which she played the estranged wife of Harry Dean Stanton. Mark Deming at AllMovie: “Paris, Texas may be the finest of Wim Wenders' "road movies," a deliberately paced but deeply moving story of a man at the end of his emotional rope who is given an unexpected chance to heal both his scars and those he has inflicted on others. Harry Dean Stanton gives perhaps his finest performance - few actors could pull off a scene like the long monologue he shares with Kinski near the film's conclusion” The film won a César and also three awards in Cannes, and was nominated, however, the film was not widely released in the United States. In the mid-1980s, Kinski met Egyptian filmmaker Ibrahim Moussa. They married in 1984 and they have two children together, son Aljosha (1984) and daughter Sonja Kinski (1986).
Nastassja Kinski's luck in Hollywood turned in the 1990s when she appeared opposite Charlie Sheen in the action-comedy Terminal Velocity (Deran Serafian, 1994). After her marriage with Moussa had been dissolved, Kinski lived with musician Quincy Jones till 1995. In 1993, their daughter, Kenya Julia Miambi Sarah Jones, was born. In the cinema, Kinski would tackle serious subject matter in the AIDS drama One Night Stand (Mike Figgis, 1997) with Wesley Snipes, The Lost Son (Chris Menges, 1999), a crime drama revolving around a network of paedophiles, and the Serbian war drama Savior (Predrag Antonijevic, 1998) with Dennis Quaid. Her other film appearances include In weiter Ferne, so nah!/Faraway, So Close (Wim Wenders, 1993) with Bruno Ganz, the comedy of manners Your Friends & Neighbors (Neil LaBute, 1998) with Aaron Eckhardt, and The Claim (Michael Winterbottom, 2000), loosely based on Thomas Hardy's novel Mayor of Casterbridge. The story, filmed in sub-zero Calgary, Canada, tells about a man (Peter Mullan) who sells his wife (Kinski) and daughter (Sarah Polley) for a gold-mining claim. Jason Clark at AllMovie: “Winterbottom subtly draws viewers into this haunting tale of family regained and the power of greed by letting them take in the details through small gestures.” In the following years, Kinski played mainly in B-films and TV movies. Interesting were the French-Canadian Mini-Series Les liaisons dangereuses/Dangerous Liaisons (Josée Dayan, 2003) with Catherine Deneuve and Rupert Everett, and the dark mystery Inland Empire (David Lynch, 2006) with Laura Dern and Jeremy Irons. She co-starred with Julian Sands in the short film Il turno di notte lo fanno le stele/The Nightshift Belongs to the Stars (2012), directed by Edoardo Ponti, son of producer Carlo Ponti and Sophia Loren. After a long interval, she was seen on TV in the French crime series Police de Caractères/Typeface (2022). Her daughter with producer Ibrahim Moussa, Sonja Kinski (1986), is a model and actress, and daughter by Quincy Jones, Kenya Kinski-Jones (1993) is also a model.

Lindisfarne Castle at the end of the island rises up on a small mound. seen across the fishing harbour.
The island of Lindisfarne appears under the Old Welsh name Medcaut in the ninth-century Historia Brittonum. Following up on a suggestion by Richard Coates, Andrew Breeze proposes that the name ultimately derives from Latin Medicata (Insula) "Healing (Island)", owing perhaps to the island's reputation for medicinal herbs. The Historia Brittonum recounts how in the sixth century, Urien, prince of Rheged, besieged the Angles led by Theodoric at the island for three days and three nights. Wikipedia

We felt very lucky! Keith Richards, David Bowie and Roman Polanski all stayed there, forever ago of course. (I have very slightly changed the light levels in this photo, but that's it)
