Tango Animation - En Tus Brazos (In Your Arms)
"Enjoy the beautiful French animation movie "En Tus Brazos" about how nothing can stop a tango dancing couple ... not even fate. It abounds with creativity, sentiment and argentine tango.
"The greatest tango dancer of the 20's is stuck in a wheelchair after a tragic accident. Thanks to his wife, he recovers the use of his legs, the time of one imaginary dance, ending entreating passionately "Don't stop, hold me tight".
"Directed by François-Xavier Goby http://fxgoby.free.fr/home.html Edouard Jouret and Matthieu Landour. France 2005. Presented on festivals in Paris, Séoul and Bristol. Original version on http://www.entusbrazos.fr/
"Music (first part): "En Tus Brazos" by Alfredo de Angelis and Oscar Larroca (vocal). Composition by Carlos Zárate. Lyric by Elizardo Martínez Vilas.
"Music (final part): "El Huracán" by Edgardo Donato. Composition by Osvaldo Donato."

Léo Ferré - La beauté
Et mon sein, où chacun s'est meurtri tour à tour,
Est fait pour inspirer au poète un amour
Eternel et muet ainsi que la matière.
Je trône dans l'azur comme un sphinx incompris;
J'unis un coeur de neige à la blancheur des cygnes;
Je hais le mouvement qui déplace les lignes,
Et jamais je ne pleure et jamais je ne ris.
Les poètes, devant mes grandes attitudes,
Que j'ai l'air d'emprunter aux plus fiers monuments,
Consumeront leurs jours en d'austères études;
Car j'ai, pour fasciner ces dociles amants,
De purs miroirs qui font toutes choses plus belles:
Mes yeux, mes larges yeux aux clartés éternelles!
Charles Baudelaire
The Snows of Kilimanjaro
"Writer Harry Street reflects on his life as he lies dying from an infection while on safari in the shadow of Mount Kilamanjaro." Directed by Henry King, written by Casey Robinson, based on Ernest Hemingway's short story. Film in the public domain available at Archive.org.
