THE TELL-TALE HEART short film (1953)

Let me share with you a real gem of a short film I've just discovered:

THE TALE-TELL HEART (1953)

Directed by Ted Parmelee and narrated by James Mason, THE TELL TALE HEART is based on the 1843 short story of the same title by American writer Edgar Allan Poe.

In 2001 the US Library of Congress deemed the film "culturally significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry

Enjoy!

IMPRESSIVE LIBRARIES - TOP 5 by Papel en blanco

I know we have talked about libraries in past posts, but this post by Sergio Parra actually includes a few I didn't have in my list of to-visit libraries (but I now do!), such as this one in Stuttgart, which looks like a Rubik cube on the outside and is very minimalist in the inside. Me likes it.

What about our library at the EOI? Are you a regular visitor? Actually ours in Ribeira is pretty nice. Apart from receiving an award, it is very user-friendly, it has lots of light, comfy sofas and a self-service library loan service. Also, ask any of the teachers or write us an e-mail/comment if you can't find what you're looking for.

ANA KARENINA

We have talked about film adaptations in past entries. Almost everybody seems to agree they normally like the book best, but there must be some exceptions...

What is your opinion? Are there any adaptations you really enjoyed? What about really disappointing ones?

Here's a review by the Guardian of Ana Karenina. Do you think you'd like to watch it? As for me, I haven't read the book, even if I read Tolstoy's War and Peace a long long time ago.
