La natura dell'amore: Monia Chokri e la freschezza della monogamia femminile
Cos’è più importante: l’affinità sessuale o quella intellettuale? È questo il fulcro del terzo film diretto dalla canadese Monia Chokri, una commedia romantica divertente e consapevole, intitolata “Simple comme Sylvain” (“Semplice come Sylvain”) o “La natura dell’amore”, nella versione in italiano. Dopo averlo visto, non si può non preferire il titolo originale francese: “La natura dell’amore” è…

Halloween was yesterday so I'm late, but look at the spooky busts of the place de la Révolution in Montpellier
I mean, I don't know what went wrong with the reproductions of the David d'Angers busts, but they look very rough and cursed
From top to bottom and left to right: Couthon, Saint-Just, Jussieu, Sieyès, Lafayette, and La Révellière-Lépeaux without his famous microbangs mullet. The pictures aren't mine, they're from here.
See the original David d'Angers busts of Saint-Just and Couthon for comparaison
It seems mostly a problem with the d'Angers reproductions cause the other busts in the same place are...well, still cursed...but not as rought looking?
From top to bottom, left to right: Marat by ???, Danton by Paul Eugène Victor Bacquet, Desmoulins by François Martin, Barnave by Jean-Antoine Houdon, Manon Roland by Emile Carlier, and Bailly by Louis-Pierre Deseine. The pictures aren't mine, they're from here.
And then there's the Robespierre by Claude-André Deseine, who's doing alright and has some spiders friends 🕷🕷🕷 (picture from here)

receives a lesson in plowing from a rough peasant, barefoot.
supposed to edify him on the need to learn the lessons of his masters…
