Chi dice la verità prima o poi viene scoperto, diceva il grande #OscarWilde. #vonderLeyen ha detto quello che è: è #riarmo. E #Meloni ha bisogno di un'operazione di mascheramento: è #Difesa. NON si può dire #Riarmo, se no, il popolo capisce quello che davvero è

#TheSubstance della regista #CoralieFargeat è un #putpourri di omaggi a grandi classici della letteratura e del cinema horror, rielaborati in chiave moderna. Il tema di fondo è quello del rapporto con la vecchiaia e il voler rimanere sempre giovani, quindi il riferimento principale facilmente visibile è quello di #OscarWilde con #ilritrattodidoriangrey, ma su questo sostrato letterario, già interessante di per sé, si inserisce

"Wilde catapulted to fame by making a mockery of shallow British high society. But he would soon discover that even the most cultured audiences in Great Britain were more willing to witness themselves made into a silly farce on stage than to consider daring new takes on time-honored religious stories. The writer would have a much harder time getting his production of Salome onto the British stage than anticipated.

'Censors were, unsurprisingly, alarmed by the not merely sexual but sexually transgressive—incest and necrophilia—aspects of the play,' wrote art historian Simon Wilson in a 2017 journal article. '[They] might also have been alarmed by the presentation of Salome as a powerful woman who bargains on equal terms, not merely with a man, but with a king.'"

The latest chapter in my novel Songbird features Great Marlborough Street and the Marlborough Street Magistrates Court (pictured, Wikipedia), which has played host to a number of famous people over the years including Oscar Wilde, John Lennon, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Johnny Rotten and Christine Keeler. Charles Dickens also worked there, as a reporter.

130 anni dal giorno della sua messa in scena. Qualcuno in meno (36) da quando lo portai all'esame di maturità come testo letto in lingua inglese. 22 (s'intuisce dalle foto degli attori) dall'uscita di questa pellicola più che onesta.
