And hi too to Rebecca from 'ere.
interested that you mention The Passion of Christ, Anny - I haven't yet seen
it but apparently will be doing so sometime soon (so I am told!) - my
suspiscion is that it re-does Grunewald at great length but, of course, I
don't know yet ....
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL
Best
Dave

Holà Rebecca,
ma qual buon vento ti porta!
(but what a good wind brings you around)
I watched last night The Passion of the Christ, if I remember right on this
list Ken had plenty of negative remarks but I found it quite interesting and
within the medium of visual fiction, effective.
Till soon,
Anny Ballardini
