Rose and snow

It’s first snow of the season. I like it, however generally I don’t like winter. First day of winter is always beautiful. The snow is clean and surprising for nature. It covers autumn leafs, berries and flowers which haven’t drop yet. Dogs are very happy, try to play in new surrounding, protect cold paws and look for their everyday smells under the snow.

Andrej Rublow by A.Tarkowski

A few month ago I was talking with my father about the film Andrej Rublow by A. Tarkowski. He was surprised that I hadn’t seen any of A. Tarkowski’s films and he promised to find a copy of the film for me. A few days ago I got a cassette. I don’t have the necessary equipment to play the cassette so I called Joanna and asked her for a " film-watching meeting". She, of course, agreed. The film was about an artist’s doubts about his work and the sense of human life (that is nice generalization, isn’t it? ). We don’t know much about Rublow’s life, so probably that was more the authors imagination abut those problems, than a source of knowledge about the icon painter. Joanna was terrible as always. When she saw ants on the legs of Teofan Grek she said to me: "You didn’t tell me that it would be horror movie!!!"
I think that a grammar construction should be the future in the past… I don’t remember how to do it… so some more explanation is needed. Joanna is afraid of insects. A film with at least one insect is a horror film for her (she likes classical horrors very much). Her reproach was a kind of joke about her most serious fear.
And the film? Very good. Especially for those who treat art seriously.
