When in Berlin

En plats i mitt hjärta (personal)
7 May, 2022 at 14:53 | Posted in Varia | Leave a commentSankt Pauli mellersta kyrkogård i Malmö är en plats som, sedan flytten tillbaka till Malmö efter femtio år, kommit att betyda mycket för yours truly. Hit söker jag mig gärna för långa promenader med min hund, men också många gånger för att söka vilsam kontemplation ‘far from the madding crowd’. En lisa för själen.
Far from the madding crowd’s ignoble strife,
Their sober wishes never learn’d to stray;
Along the cool sequester’d vale of life
They kept the noiseless tenor of their way.
Yet ev’n these bones from insult to protect,
Some frail memorial still erected nigh,
With uncouth rhymes and shapeless sculpture deck’d,
Implores the passing tribute of a sigh.

Marcel Proust hade sin Madeleinekaka. Jag har musiken. Den här låten är för mig alltid förknippad med sommarminnen på 70-talet från Hästveda och Luhrsjön, där jag och kompisen Johan (Ehrenberg) brukade spela flipper vid strandcaféet och den här låten gick varm på jukeboxen. Minnen som fortfarande värmer och som glömskan inte rår på.

A movie as large as life itself.
Pelle the Conqueror

Max von Sydow (1929-2020) was a Swedish actor who featured in more than 100 films and TV series. He made many memorable roles, but the one that has touched me most is as the father in Pelle Erobreren — based on Martin Andersen Nexö’s epic masterpiece. Bille August directed. Stefan Nilsson wrote the music. Max von Sydow made the performance of his life. And it breaks my heart every time I watch it.
