Nelson Rockefeller, former Vice President of the United States and heir to the Rockefeller family fortune, died in 1979 of a heart attack at age 70, rumored to be caused by an orgasm during intercourse with his secretary, Megan Marshack. The unusual circumstances surrounding his death caused New York magazine to quip, “Nelson thought he was coming, but he was going”.
Passion is inversely proportional to the amount of real information available.

Boris really has adopted a disgracefully cavalier attitude to his classical studies. It is a question of priorities, which most of his colleagues have no difficulty in sorting out. Boris sometimes seems affronted when criticised for what amounts to a gross failure of responsability (and surprised at the same time that he has not appointed Captain of the School for next half). I think he honestly believes that it is churlish of us not to regard him as an exception, one who should be free of the network of obligation which binds everyone else.
—Martin Hammond, Master in College, Eton, carta para Stanley Johnson, 10 de Abril de 1982
I’ve been referencing romantic comedies like George Cukor, but I try to come up with new material when I talk to proper film fans so I’ve thought about this. In terms of coming of age, Eden by Mia Hansen-Løve I think was an inspiration to me in terms of how to condense time. It’s really sophisticated and has a very impressive structure of telling a part of someone’s life. I told Mia, whom I admire, that she’s condensed time so it’s not just one line, one experience, or one seating through an event, but big chunks of transition—and that’s drama when you’re making nonplot movies.

Joachim Trier tornou-se num dos meus realizadores preferidos e não é coincidência esta referência a Mia Hansen-Løve, que faz parte desse grupo extremamente restrito de cineastas de quem me apetece ver um filme, só por ser deles (aliás, neste momento, só me lembro de mais um, Hirokazu Kore-eda).
