Remembering the legendary English filmmaker, David Lean, on his 118th birthday!
David Lean on the timelessness of "Lawrence of Arabia" (1962) & the reaction it got from the audience when the restored version was released in 1989:
"Everyone worried about re-releasing ‘Lawrence of Arabia.’ (1962) They said the audiences have changed. They talk and shout at the screen; they’re impatient; they wouldn’t sit still for it. Not at all. You could hear a pin drop. London, New York, Washington, Los Angeles. Everywhere.
It was a subtle piece of work, depicting Lawrence and his character. It’s less than 1% of the film in terms of footage, but it’s the cumulative effect of nuances, and if you dig out too many you’ve lost a whole hunk of his character.
I think audiences had almost forgotten the power of pictures. They’ve gotten smaller and smaller. And suddenly you see this old film, wonderfully photographed; tremendous detail; you almost feel you could take a hair off the actor’s collar. There’s a mesmeric effect from the picture on the screen."
("The Phenomenal Persistence of David Lean : At 81, the director fields several honors and awaits the start of his next project--Conrad’s ‘Nostromo’", Charles Champlin, LA Times, 1989)

"Bach is, for me, the touchstone that keeps my playing honest. One can’t fake things in Bach, and if one gets all of them to work, the music sings in the most wonderful way". Hilary Hahn, violinist.

WOW. King Charles III will become the first patron of the Community Security Trust, a British Jewish security group.
The announcement comes in the wake of the antisemitic arson attack on four Hatzola ambulances in Golders Green.
