Bon week-end !!

She’s back !! Watch this video and especially look at the poor turkeys (=les dindes) being killed for Thanksgiving in the background ! This is just hilarious !

J’ai récupéré quelques images du film “Hunger” primé à Cannes cette année et qui j’espère va bientôt sortir en France. Il raconte la grève de la faim de Bobby Sands et de ses camarades prisonniers en Irlande du Nord pour obtenir le statut de prisonnier politique que leur déniait Margaret Thatcher . Je ne sais pas encore comment utiliser ce film s’il sort, ni avec quelle classe. Je voulais juste mettre quelques images (dures, je vous préviens, mais réalistes) de ce film.
