That’s how Elena Ferrante mesmerised me.

[Andrew Porter @AndrewPorter01]

Elena Ferrante writes some of the most brilliant openings, and I love her description of what she tries to go for in her openings here

I want to live in a world where people don’t buy pets, but cohabit in harmony with the nature around and care about🦩🦉and 🐍 🐍 , and 🐝 🐝, and 🐜 🐜… not just 🐈‍⬛🐈 & 🐩🐕. As long as we care only about our own nest, we’re doomed. We really are.

[Teia B. @KarenKryptis]

@ArtySadie Totally agree, awesome production, and the behind scenes stories are interesting too as the film was shot during WW2 in difficult (and censorship) conditions. Also, a funny fact: during Soviet years, this film was always broadcasted on NY eve. Most people knew it by heart!

[Teia B. @KarenKryptis]

@ArtySadie Easy one for those coming from the ex-USSR: Ivan the Terrible, isn't it?

[Natasha Tripney @NatashaTripney]

Really interesting piece by @nickawde on Romanian playwright Matei Vișniec, Moldovan artists confronting their communist past, Western complacency, and the International Days Festival in Suceava https://t.co/InZMJynbpU

@LannieStabile Each year beauty and terror happens, but for my 33 the war in Ukraine started. I can’t feel alive since then… Is the theory that afer 30s we’re more prone to be negatively biased?

[Teia B. @KarenKryptis]

If your soul aches for something truly beautiful, watch "The Metamorphosis of Birds". I don't know how to categorise it: doc-memoir, personal essay on family history or rather delicate art installation, but Catarina Vasconcelos’ enchanting debut is simply breathtaking.

[Teia B. @KarenKryptis]

@aliner But how beautiful this mess can be!

[Bohdana Laiuk (Neborak) @BohdanaNeborak]

In this thread, I'll tell you about some of the Ukrainian modernist writers from the Ukrainian 20s.

You definitely know about the "Roaring 20s" and "Génération Perdue». The Ukrainian modernism is called the "Executed Renaissance".

@AskDrBurt @PaulStephenn @IAPonomarenko Да, почти соседи. I was born on the other side, at the border with Romania.

[Teia B. @KarenKryptis]

@AskDrBurt @PaulStephenn @IAPonomarenko Oh, that’s cool! :) I was born on the other side, in Moldova. Sorry for the irrelevant info, my comment was mostly for Paul anyway.

[Teia B. @KarenKryptis]

@AskDrBurt @PaulStephenn @IAPonomarenko Transnistria comes from lat: trans (beyond) and Nistria, the river. The history of that region is complex but in short: in 92 there was a short war between Moldovans & Transnistrian separatists. In result, Moscow placed there their so called peacemakers, alas, they never leaved.

@Nichola81978994 @natangarstea Ok, și cum s-ar numi această precauție și stat în bancă? Una din șirul zicalelor mioritice “capul plecat, sabia nu-l taie”? Și dacă RM devine indirect susținătoare a războiului contra Ucrainei prin mijlocirea importurilor către Rusia și alte efecte ale neutralității?

[Teia B. @KarenKryptis]

@shawxx That’s right, Chulpan Khamatova replaced Irina Vybornova. An evening full of surprises at DT.

[Teia B. @KarenKryptis]

Serendipitous encounter tonight. Kirill Serebrennikov on the @DT_Berlin stage (after he has left Russia recently) and a gripping bilingual production – what a moment!

A friend asked for an explanation why "It's just Putin" is wrong and dangerous. I felt it needs a longer response. Here it is:
