Sauna Paradiso

Every epic story has a beginning. Luckily for me, I came into the middle of Bel Ami’s. It was sort of like finding this very thick, battered book, someone’s remembrance book, let’s say, where in it’s like someone recounting a marvelous journey, and one you just can’t wait to read. It felt as if I’ve… Continue reading Sauna Paradiso

Making cinematic poetry

If a sonnet could be written about a film… Then it must be this one.  The captivatingly beautiful, Wide Open (1997) was the last film George Duroy would direct for Falcon Studios before leaving to film for his new company, Bel Ami, full time.  By now, I’ve seen all of George’s early Falcon pictures and it was almost… Continue reading Making cinematic poetry

Where do I begin?  It all started with these two. My first Bel Ami loves. Soon, many more would fill my heart, but you never forget the very first ones who had a loving hand in stealing it away. Where could I possibly begin to tell Bel Ami’s story? I came in the middle of… Continue reading Beautiful Bohemians: a further introduction to The Story So Far series

Do you love me?

How many times have you been asked, or have asked this question? I know I asked it to the very first love I ever had before we were to make that all important leap into our first sexual experience. You’ll have to excuse my apparent romanticism at this moment in time. Yet, I don’t think… Continue reading Do you love me?
