by Jakob Baekgaard
There is a poem by the Swedish poet Gunnar Ekelöf (1907-1968) called “Den svarte bilden" (The black image) in which he tells about an icon whose image is kissed away.

Ran Blake: Chabrol Noir
by Alberto Bazzurro
Notoriamente appassionato di cinema, Ran Blake ci regala una delle sue opere più significative e appassionate esplorando l'universo di uno dei suoi grandi amori, Claude Chabrol, di cui fin dalla copertina, scopertamente hitchcockiana, il disco rievoca abilmente l'universo espressivo.
