I shall remember this moment: the silence, the twilight, the bowl of strawberries, the bowl of milk. Your faces in the evening light. Mikael asleep, Jof with his lyre. I shall try to remember our talk. I shall carry this memory carefully in my hands as if it were a bowl brimful of fresh milk. It will be a sign to me, and a great sufficiency.

Born Carl Adolf von Sydow, Swedish actor Max von Sydow passed away yesterday at his home in southern France. With a career spanning eight decades, the towering and lanky von Sydow distinguished himself in Hollywood, usually seen playing villains through the 1970s and ‘80s. But he was perhaps most widely acclaimed for his work in Swedish films with directors Ingmar Bergman and Jan Troell – the former, shortly before his death in 2007, described the actor thusly: “Max, you have been the first and the best Stradivarius that I have ever had in my hands.” The role that catapulted von Sydow to international fame was as Antonius Block, a returning Crusader who plays chess with Death (often parodied and referenced), in Bergman’s The Seventh Seal. In recent years, von Sydow described himself as an actor without a home nation, in due part due to his globetrotting film career and his sons attending American universities. 

An actor of incredible gravitas and often embodying existential angst and resolve simultaneously, von Sydow fulfilled a lifelong passion that began when he saw a production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream as a schoolboy in his hometown of Lund. Younger viewers and gamers may know him best as Three-eyed Raven from Game of Thrones and the voice actor of Esbern in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, respectively. In life, one of the greatest screen actors of the last century touched audiences in countless ways that few non-Americans and non-British actors could, no matter the project.

Nine of the films Max von Sydow appeared in are shown above, and are listed below (left-right, descending):

The Virgin Spring (1960, Sweden) – directed by Ingmar Bergman; also starring Birgitta Valberg, Gunnel Lindblom, and Birgitta Pettersson

The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965) – directed by George Stevens; also starring Dorothy McGuire, Charlton Heston, José Ferrer, and Telly Savalas

Hour of the Wolf (1968, Sweden) – directed by Ingmar Bergman; also starring Liv Ullmann, Gertrud Fridh, Georg Rydeberg, Erland Josephson, and Ingrid Thulin

The Emigrants (1971, Sweden) – directed by Jan Troell; also starring Liv Ullmann, Eddie Axberg, and Monica Zetterlund

The Exorcist (1973) – directed by William Friedkin; also starring Ellen Burstyn, Lee J. Cobb, Kitty Winn, Jack MacGowran, Jason Miller, and Linda Blair

Pelle the Conqueror (1987, Denmark/Sweden) – directed by Bille August; also starring Pelle Hvenegaard, Erik Paaske, and Bjørn Granath

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007, France) – directed by Julian Schnabel; also starring Mathieu Amalric, Emmanuelle Seigner, Marie-Josée Croze, and Anne Consigny

Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) – directed by J.J. Abrams; also starring Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, and Oscar Isaac

The Seventh Seal (1957, Sweden) – directed by Ingmar Bergman; also starring Gunnar Björnstrand, Bengt Ekerot, Nils Poppe, Bibi Andersson, Inga Landgré, and Åke Fridell

Murder Most Likely (1999) [film]

Crime/drama

Tom McCamus plays a supporting role

This film is based on the true story of Patrick Kelly (Paul Gross), a Royal Mounted Canadian Police officer who was accused of the murder of his wife Marie (Marie-Josée Croze). For a TV movie, it’s well done. Patrick is presented as a highly charismatic and manipulative man who thrives on taking on false personalities for undercover work. He is certainly not shown to be the best husband, but did he kill his wife? From the start it appears to be a simple case, but as the film progresses it becomes more complex.

The reconstruction of the various accounts of Marie’s fatal fall are interestingly shot and reminiscent of Hitchcock.

Tom McCamus plays investigating officer Sean Exley. I was interested to see him star alongside William B Davis (of X Files fame) who played the detective inspector. Sadly they had no scenes together, but it was still cool to see them both in the same film.

It’s interesting to see Paul Gross play a character so different from honourable Mountie Benton Fraser who he played in Due South.

I’ve included a few bonus photos of William B Davis (I know, how unusual for me!) Also I think I’ve figured out how to stop certain photo sets from ruining the main website layout.

Citroën pokračuje v roce 2020 ve své elektrické ofenzívě i na území kompaktních hatchbacků a zveřejňuje první fotografie vozů Nová ë-C4 – 100% ëlectric a Nová C4.

Jde o kompaktní hatchbacky nové generace, které převratně mění zažité principy segmentu a zosobňují novou identitu Citroën:

Výběr pohonu: 100% elektrický, benzínový nebo dieselový.

Síla designu: tvar, který si pohrává s různými automobilovými zásadami, a který představuje novou etapu stylu Citroën.

Komfort na palubě: všechny výhody programu Citroën Advanced Comfort®, umocněné „ë-komfortem“ elektrické verze.

Nová ë-C4 – 100% ëlectric a Nová C4, které jsou důstojnými pokračovatelkami linie odvážných hatchbacků, včetně GS, jež letos slaví 50. výročí, se představí 30. června a budou hvězdami 2. pololetí roku 2020.

V samém jádru segmentu kompaktních hatchbacků

Citroën, který již zaútočil na území SUV, kam úspěšně přinesl vozy SUV C3 Aircross a SUV C5 Aircross (od uvedení na trh na konci roku 2017 se již prodalo 300 000, resp. 200 000 kusů), vstupuje nyní do nové zásadní etapy a kráčí v plné síle na trh s hatchbacky. Kompaktní hatchbacky hrají na evropském trhu velmi důležitou roli, v roce 2019 představovaly téměř 28 % tržeb v segmentu C. Nová ë-C4 – 100% ëlectric a Nová C4 plně splňují veškeré vlastnosti vozů tohoto segmentu a zároveň přinášejí moderní a výraznou koncepci plně přizpůsobenou dnešnímu světu. Jde o kompaktní hatchback nové generace značky Citroën se 100% elektrickým, benzínovým nebo dieselovým motorem, který se inspiroval zákazníky a jejich stylem používání automobilu a nabízí vše proto, aby dokázal otřást celým segmentem, který se nyní musí vydat novou cestou.

ZÁKAZNÍK MÁ NA VÝBĚR 3 RŮZNÉ POHONY: 100% ELEKTRICKÝ, BENZÍNOVÝ NEBO DIESELOVÝ

Nová ë-C4 – 100% ëlectric a Nová C4, to je stejný moderní technologický vůz nabízený se 3 různými pohony: 100% elektrickým, benzínovým nebo dieselovým, takže si zákazník může zvolit účinný a výkonný motor, který nejlépe vyhovuje jeho potřebám. Nová ë-C4 – 100% ëlectric je pátým modelem elektrifikační strategie Citroënu, jemuž předcházel SUV C5 Aircross Hybrid, Ami, ë-Jumpy a ë-SpaceTourer.

Copyright William CROZES @ Continental Productions

INOVATIVNÍ VZHLED A VÝRAZNÝ STYL

Nová ë-C4 – 100% ëlectric a Nová C4 představují novou koncepci vozů segmentu, kam přinášejí jedinečnou a odvážnou identitu. Zvýšený výrazný tvar v sobě snoubí eleganci a dynamiku hatchbacku a rovněž přejímá některé principy SUV pro větší sílu a výraznější charakter. Aerodynamická plynulá silueta typická pro vozy značky Citroën současně dodává do modelové řady nový výraz stylu. Z jeho přívětivého technologického interiéru čiší na první pohled pohoda, komfort a modernost.

Nové vyjádření programu CITROËN ADVANCED COMFORT®

Nová ë-C4 – 100% ëlectric a Nová C4, jež jsou dokonalým zosobněním programu Citroën Advanced Comfort®, nabízí nový pohled na komfort, a to moderní a globální komfort promítnutý do všech kritérií: jízdní komfort zaručený odpružením s tlumiči s progresivními hydraulickými dorazy® a sedadly Advanced Comfort; životní komfort zajištěný prostorností a praktickými prvky na palubě, včetně nové inovace pro cestující, která bude představena ve světové premiéře; psychicky komfort vytvářený uklidňující a světlou atmosférou kabiny; uživatelský komfort, který dodávají výhody technologií a asistenčních systémů. Vše umocňuje ë-komfort vozu Nová ë-4 – 100% ëlectric: tichý provoz, plynulost, požitek z jízdy.

ODKAZ linie kompaktních hatchbacků

Citroën a kompaktní hatchbacky, to je úspěšná sága, kterou zahájil první model C4 v roce 1928. Součástí tohoto příběhu je i GS, evropské auto roku 1971, které letos slaví 50. výročí. Jde o celou linii vozů známých již celá desetiletí svým charakterem, komfortem a jízdními vlastnostmi: C4-1928, Ami 6 / Ami 8, GS / GSA, BX, ZX, Xsara, C4-2004, C4-2010 a C4 Cactus.

NoVÁ ë-C4 – 100% ËLECTRIC A NOVÁ C4 SE PODROBNĚ PŘEDSTAVÍ 30. ČERVNA 2020.

A vehicle which DS doesn’t have in its lineup, however, is a sports vehicle. The DS-X concept rendered via Williams Crozes and Laurent Nivalle is an try to visualize how any such model might appearance. Their creation, published on Behance, takes the idea of a -door sports activities vehicle and tries to take it into the future. in contrast to definitely each automobile on the market, the DS-X concept doesn’t have a normal cabin. as an alternative, the passenger sits in an enclosed phase whilst the motive force sits uncovered to the elements much like in a Speedster. It appears futuristic, however it’s no longer some thing we will see being adopted through anybody. The bodywork of the DS-X idea has also been split into halves. the one accommodating the motive force consists of a committed front grille offset from the middle of the car, while the passenger facet of the fascia includes a big beginning that famous the the front wheel. on the again, the two parts merge into one, with the driving force’s aspect being by means of far the bigger one. the automobile’s precise shape is possibly first-class viewed from above because it shows the perspective at which the front and rear take a seat. Will such a car ever exist? the answer isn't any, but we do constantly experience seeing unique twists on traditional automobile layout.

Jorge Miroslav Jara Salas: Vinography Unboxed: Week of 11/11/18

Text Size:

11.17.2018

Hello, and welcome to my periodic dig through the samples pile. I’m pleased to bring you the latest installment of Vinography Unboxed, where I highlight some of the better bottles that have crossed my doorstep recently.

This week included a bunch of excellent wines.

Let’s start with a very pretty Albariño from the folks at Artesa in Carneros, who have been playing with the grape since the late 1990s and are one of the main (and few) producers in the state. This one is distinctly Californian, but also quite varietally true, and worth seeking out for its refreshing green brightness.

I get occasional bottles of German Riesling here and there, but it’s rare to get a nicely aged one. This week I got a very pretty 2004 bottling from Max Ferdinand Richter that was firing on all cylinders, and delivering exactly what a good aged Riesling can — fruit, brightness, secondary flavors and aromas, and utter deliciousness.

This week I also have a study in two Roussannes, one from the Sierra Foothills, and one from Sonoma’s Bennett Valley.

As an exotic treat, I also received a couple of wines that are a collaboration between veteran winemaking legend Paul Hobbs and a wine producer in Armenia. Both feature the indigenous variety Areni Noir, which is something like a cross between Zinfandel and Pinot Noir, if you’ve never had it. Both of these wines are very pretty and excellent examples of the potential in both the grape and the country of Armenia. In the event you didn’t know, Armenia plays host to the oldest archeological evidence of winemaking on the planet, and most DNA analysis points to the region as the likely site of wine grapes being first domesticated. Check out these wines and drink a little bit of the past.

Finally this week, I’ve got three incarnations of the Rhone Valley for you, courtesy of the reliably excellent E. Guigal, and then a couple of California Rhone blends from one of the original Rhone Rangers, William Easton up at Domaine Terre Rouge in the Sierra Foothills.

All these and more this week. Enjoy!

2017 Artesa Albariño, Carneros, California Light greenish gold in color, this wine smells of sappy green apple, unripe nectarine and wet chalkboard. In the mouth, green apple and white peach and lime flavors are bright and juicy with excellent acidity. Notes of lime zest and lime juice linger in the finish. 3% of the wine was fermented in neutral puncheon. 13% alcohol. Score: around 9. Cost: $28. click to buy.

2016 Oremus “Mandolas” Furmint, Tokaj, Hungary Light blonde in color, this wine smells of pears and unripe apples with hints of lemon pith.

Cost: $25. click to buy.

2004 Max Ferdinand Richter “Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr Spätlese” Riesling, Mosel, Germany Light to medium gold in color this wine smells of mandarine orange zest and honeysuckle.

Notes of lychee linger in the finish. 8% alcohol. Score: between 9 and 9.5. Cost: $34. click to buy.

2013 Domaine Terre Rouge “Monarch Mine Vineyard” Roussanne, Sierra Foothills, California Light gold in color, this wine smells of golden delicious apples, quince and chamomile.

Soft acidity. 14.5% alcohol. Score: around 8.5. Cost: $25. click to buy.

2015 Sosie “Vivio Vineyard” Roussanne, Bennett Valley, Sonoma, California Pale gold in color, this wine smells of quince and pears poached in cream. In the mouth, silky flavors of unripe pear and golden apple mix with a hint of yellow flowers. There’s a nice underlying wet chalkboard minerality, though the acidity is delicate and softer than I would like. Finishes clean with hints of chamomile. 12.9% alcohol. 100 cases produced. Score: between 8.5 and 9. Cost: $??

2015 Yacoubian-Hobbs “Sarpina” Areni, Armenia Medium garnet in the glass, this wine smells of forest berries and flowers. In the mouth, forest berries and herbs and flowers have an aromatic sweetness to them that suggests some deft use of oak. Excellent acidity and length, with gorgeous floral and berry scents lingering sweet through the finish. Polished and refined, perhaps a little more than it should be, but undeniably tasty. 14.5% alcohol. Score: around 9. Cost: $45 click to buy.

2015 Yacoubian-Hobbs “Rind” Areni, Armenia Medium garnet in the glass, this wine smells of flowers, huckleberries, and fresh herbs.

Score: around 9. Cost: $34. click to buy.

2015 E. Guigal Cotes du Rhone, Rhone, France Dark garnet in color, this wine smells of strawberry and cherry fruit with hints of cedar. In the mouth, strawberry and cedar flavors mix with dried herbs and a touch of river mud. Powdery tannins flex their muscles as the wine lingers long. Excellent acidity and balance. 14% alcohol. Score: between 8.5 and 9. Cost: $20. click to buy.

2015 E. Guigal Crozes-Hermitage, Rhone, France Dark garnet in color, this wine smells of brambly herbs and blackberries. In the mouth, spicy notes of blackberry and herbs and flowers have a stark, stony minerality to them, enlivened with excellent acidity and caressed by fleecy tannins. Nice floral notes linger in the finish. 13% alcohol. Score: around 9. Cost: $27. click to buy.

2015 E. Guigal Saint-Joseph, Rhone, France Dark garnet in color, this wine smells of blackberry and forest floor. In the mouth, earthy notes of blackberry and cassis mix with a touch of leather as beautifully bright acidity and powdery, muscular tannins caress the fruit. There’s a nice wet-pavement minerality underlying everything, and a sweetness of fruit that lingers in the finish. 13.5% alcohol. Score: around 9. Cost: $30. click to buy.

2012 Domaine Terre Rouge Mourvedre, Sierra Foothills, California Dark ruby in color, this wine smells of gamey huckleberry and cherry. In the mouth, the wine has fantastically bright acidity and gorgeous cherry and dried cherry fruit mixed with dried herbs and a touch of meatiness. There’s a wonderful saline quality to this wine that, balancing the sweetness of of the fruit makes for a mouthwatering experience. Powdery tannins seem to coalesce through the long finish. 14.5% alcohol. Score: between 9 and 9.5. Cost: $32. click to buy.

2013 Domaine Terre Rouge “Tete-a-Tete” Red Blend, Sierra Foothills, California Medium to dark ruby in the glass with a little hint of purple remaining in the core, this wine smells of strawberry and cherry fruit with a hint of cedar. In the mouth, aromatically sweet flavors of strawberry jam and dried sour cherries have a bright, juiciness thanks to excellent acidity. Gauzy tannins drape the palate, and the wine lingers long in the finish. 14.5% alcohol. Score: around 9. Cost: $18. click to buy.
