I just saw Paranoid Park from Gus van Sant, from him I only had seen before, Elephant, and I loved Elephant.

on the dvd there was a doc by a french critic and I understood all his works much better.

Merci beaucoup Luc.

"What is architectural quality? It's easy, it doesn't mean to appear on architecture guides or in architecture history neither being published. Architectural quality can mean only one thing, that a building touches me"
