...exhibit is separated into three time periods: Greek sculptures from the archaic and classical period (c. 600 B.C.E — c. 330 B.C.E), sculptures from the Hellenistic period (c. 330 B.C.E — c.31 B.C.E), and sculptures from the Near East, Egypt, and the prehistoric era of the Greek Cycladic Islands. The faded sculptures are placed next to their colored counterparts. This stark contrast between the typical white marble statues and the color-renovated versions forces viewers to break their own pre-established mold of what is considered usual and unusual in ancient art.

SO FAR FROM THE BAMBOO GROVE Based on the Japanese author's WW II-era experiences, the novel is criticized for its hints at rape and domestic abuse...
...There and Marion Cotillard in La Vie en Rose. "Guys are really dropping the ball. I think it's because the women aren't interested in being sexy anymore and the men are. All these guys have objectified themselves and sexualized themselves into being matinee idols." In an era when the holy grail of film is mass appeal, he subscribes to the belief that "you can't make a movie for everybody. You can't go into it trying to alienate people, but you have to assume that you're going to." Of course, this unconventionality may all be youthful...
