Drama on a little island in the South China Sea (part 2)
Yesterday's film shoot
[Sadly, I have never learned to read Chinese so I have no clue about what the banners say. Still, it looks "political" to me. But it probably has nothing to do with the telegram sent on 17 May 1968 to the POLITBURO OF THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY GATE OF CELESTIAL PEACE PEKING]

Dulce Pontes; A brisa do coracao
For the weekend, a guilty pleasure.
The singer is the Portuguese Dulce Pontes, the music is by Ennio Morricone. Theme song for the 1998 Portuguese film Sostiene Pereira (Sostiene Maintains).
Recently discovered the film. In this household it currently rates as one of the most enjoyable viewed so far this year. More about it here: Sostiene Pereira (Sostiene Maintains)

With much crashing of symbols and bleating of cornets, a lion dance crew cruised past at least a half-dozen times today.
It's been like that for the past seven days, whatever the weather, come rain or shine.

May Day
Tomorrow, May Day is a public holiday, hereabouts.
Vive La Fête!
[The image above is from La Dialectique Peut-Elle Casser Des Briques? (Can Dialectics Break Bricks?), a 1973 film produced by French director René Viénet. A Situationist critique of cultural hegemony, it used the 1972 Hong Kong film The Crush (唐手跆拳道) by Tu Guangqi for its visuals. Probably only of interest to the politically literate.]
