Swimming pool

The Olympic swimming pool, which is close to the médiathèque Emile Zola in Antigone, is also a glass building. But its walls are not as transparent as the walls of the médiathèque.

It looks a bit like a big ship. You can see the whole building on Structurae : http://en.structurae.de/structures/data/index.cfm?ID=s0013266

Michel Serrault

Michel Serrault died last night. He was one of the greatest French actors of the past few decades. Many French people are sad today.

As a young man, he wanted to be a priest. He changed his mind when he met a young woman and fell in love with her, but he remained a fervent believer all his life.

He was not from Montpellier but in Montpellier several film festivals take place every year. I love movies.

Several great French actors of the same generation have died this year, Philippe Noiret, Jean-Pierre Cassel, Jean-Claude Brialy.....

Ingmar Bergman also died last night. Bergman inspired many films of Woody Allen, about which I have written several articles.

2007 is not a good year for the cinema.
