La Moustache

Terrific movie although very enigmatic. I think it was about a man who loses his identity and invents a way to reclaim it. Maybe not. I live French movies. They are always both ordinary anbd extra-ordinary.

The Phila. Art Museum was terrific. Two photography exhibits-one on summer vacations, the other on photos which appeared in a famous gallery over the years. Forget the gallery owner's name, but lots of great stuff by Berenice Abbott, Walker Evans , etc. Photos tell stories. I guess that's what I like about them. This gallery has so many wonderful period rooms and lots of Impressionism. Wait till the Barnes Foundation joins in.
