Disengagement

Went with Mary and Pavlina to see this Amos Gitai film. They are veterans but this was my first of his. Juliette Binoche and the director were both there. I appreciated the film despite its slow pacing and enjoyed the sparseness of it. Her adopted brother joins her in Avignon for their father's funeral (she is quite provocative in some sexually charged scenes with him in the flat) then she follows him to Israel where she goes into the occupied territory to meet the daughter she abandoned at birth. Meanwhile her brother is leading the army to remove the settlers. Very emotionally charged. MM

Then we went to dinner at Vaticano in Yorkville. Got to run 24K Saturday morning.
