Heute mache ich eine kleine Ohne-Gepäck-Tour von Shiraz an den Pink Lake.
Ein erster Test, wie sich warme Temperaturen und Kleiderordnung vertragen. Und wie es ist, allein (ohne männlichen Begleitradler:)) auf der Straße unterwegs zu sein.
Wir dürfen gespannt sein. Auf beides.

Heartbreaking that even in the past folx were still dealing with being inundated with endless paperwork #SilentFlickerSunday #Shiraz
40mins into “Shiraz” and chill she gives you this look of dreams for revenge

And our leading lady is actress, dancer & film producer Enakshi Rama Rao, who became a major star of the Indian film industry (including the Talkie era!). Her daughter and grandson helped with this restoration

Our leading man tonight is Bengali Indian actor and filmmaker Himanshu Rai (1892-May 16, 1940). He is one of the founders of The Bombay Talkies Studio. Like far too many in the silent era, he passed away young (at 48)

Far too many of my dates have ended like that. #SilentFlickerSunday #Shiraz
Just a head’s up: It’s totally cool if you get distracting by the crystalline quality of this print. I know it pulled my attention away from the story a few times when I first watched “Shiraz”
