I wanted to watch and rewatch the details of this film.  It is pure entertainment.  Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Adams are so good.  Christian Bale's character is astonishing, what make up can do for an actor.  Reminds me to not get fat,  you look old and sloppy immediately.
The music, the plot everything fits well together.
For Lawrence, she is so young, but v convincing.  Wonder how people grow up?  How could you pack so much experiences into an acting gig?  Very impressive.  Amy Adams character has depth and very touching.  Very beautiful layering of authenticity of a person.  

Is this a super great movie?  Yes, will it be a super classic to be rewatched over and over again.  No.  The story, the plot, the content is not that type of movie, its entertainment.  And what super entertainment!

 104 / Centquatre 104 rue d’Aubervilliers - 5 rue Curial , 75019 Paris The CENTQUATRE is a new Paris city council artistic establishment and a unique place devoted to production and innovation. Located in the 19th arrondissement on the site of the former Municipal Funeral Services, this 39,000 m² space is an ensemble of unique architecture and a place where art meets the general public. Directed by José manuel Gonçalves since December 2010, this establishment gives the public a new perception of the arts of today. The CENTQUATRE is versatile, responsive, vibrant, open to all and a venue for talks, meetings and discoveries. It combines monumental architecture with modern interior spaces and offers an innovative cultural adventure. All types of art are present through resident artists and festivals. The CENTQUATRE also houses businesses, a cafe, a restaurant and nearby public facilities for amateur artists and children to practice their skills. Artists regularly hold meetings with the public. These are a great occasion to get an inside view of an artist’s work through talks, presentations of works, readings, public rehearsals, etc. These meetings require an admission fee. The CENTQUATRE also organizes sports activities and dance classes (some of these are free of charge). One Saturday each month, the Centquatre transforms itself to present the Bal Pop’ or Bal populaire, a dance which is open to the public. Lanterns, garlands, refreshments and a great atmosphere are all on the programme!

Abramovic: Performance art, the Abramovic Method

 http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/21/marina-abramovic-presents_n_1363670.html

Abramovic is creating an institute to explain and expand her model of performance art along with help from architect Rem Koolhaas. She explained her mission in creating the school to HuffPost: "The first thing is to teach the public how to see performance art, to teach the public, what you can see and how you can behave in your own self. Where is your breathing, what is your feeling of presence or absence in your mind, and to really learn the basics of performance language."
