Sometimes my life seems to me like the images presented in that trailer…
I have read Berger's (auto) biography 'Ich' some time ago and must say that it was quite enjoyable. Especially interesting to me was the description of his jet-setting endeavours in the 60s and 70s, centred around Roman night- life.
I did not know the Nazi party was all about spoiled cross dressers. I did not see any of this in Inglourious Basterds. They did wear nice clothes though, except for the woman's lingerie. Was Cary Grant then a Nazi,(and I always liked him too)? "CARY GRANT—Although Grant, who is fifty-six, favors such abominations as large tie knots and claims to have originated the square-style breast-pocket handerchief, he is so extraordinarily attractive that he looks good in practically anything. He insists upon tight armholes in his suit jackets, finds the most comfortable (and functional) of all underwear to be women's nylon panties...".
"In every battle the eyes are the first to be conquered..."
- Tacitus, Germania
"One must work in solitude as a man who opens a clearing in virgin forest, sustained by the unique hope that somewhere in its depths, others are working to the same end."
- Ernst Jünger
"I find that I must go handsomely, whatever it costs me, and the charge will be made up in the fruit it brings."
