Music, Movies, and Books

Some of the movies I've enjoyed the most: Nuovo Cinema Paradiso (theatrical version); 2001: A Space Odyssey; Jesus Christ Superstar; The Godfather (the trilogy); Dersu Uzala; Nosferatu; Un long dimanche de fiançailles; Roma; The Rocky Horror Picture Show; Cassandra's Dream; Pane e tulipani; Toutes les matins du monde; Le roi danse; Dragonslayer.

Two of my favorites musical groups are (of course!) Les luthiers and Led Zeppelin. Some of my classical privileged composers are Charles Valentin Alkan and Mahler. The most thrilling musical experience I've so far had was having discovered Taraf de Haïdouks.

Beloved books: Das Parfum; Die Taube; Seta; Il nome della rosa; Der Spiegel im Spiegel; Le comte de Monte Cristo; The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night; The Golden Bough; Mémoires d'Hadrien, L'Œ€™uvre noire; Through the Looking Glass; all the books written and compiled by J.L. Borges.
