- Try Koestler's The age of longing, written in 1951, placed in France just
- so that he could bring together Young Americans, Old Americans, Youngish
- fought-in-Spain French communist, Russian writer just defecting, etc. The
- book is excellent read, even (escpecially) now.
-
- Montreal hosting a yearly film festival (not too commercial) there are many
- films we saw in the last few years which I would highly suggest to see if I
- could tell where. Like:
- - a Georgian film based on a Maupassant story transposed into Georgia, 1917
- - Krapatchuk, a French-Russian coproduction, hilarious comedy
- - Chytilova last movies (any of them)
