Dreamed of going on a long winter hike away from Halifax; passing a parade of a huge brass band with a Macy's parade-type helium float of the head of Teddy Roosevelt; the Halifax cinemas called Casino and Cove, which closed years ago.
Saw the DVD of Rome: Open City (for the second time). A bluntly powerful drama about Nazi-occupied Rome, with Anna Magnani's first great performance, which launched the "neorealist" genre of postwar Italian movies. Too bad it gets didactic toward the end.
Dinner was pizza.
Went to see the Russo-Cuban movie I Am Cuba at the Cinematheque. Couldn't get into it. I left after half an hour.
