20 Essential Films For An Introduction To Portuguese Cinema Portuguese cinema essentially refers to films directed by Portuguese filmmakers. Cinema was introduced in Portugal in 1896, and the first Portuguese film was a replica of the Lumière Brothers’ inaugural presentation about six months earlier. Portuguese cinema had, throughout its history, various phases which have always made it a very distinctive case within European cinema. In the 1930s, with the advent of sound films, spoken content was used for defending morals and to serve as propaganda for the dictatorship that ruled Portugal from 1933 to 1974. Starting in 1933, with “A Canção de Lisboa,” the Portuguese Golden Age would last for the next two decades. In 1942, Manoel de Oliveira’s first feature film predated Italian neorealism by a few years with its realist style. 20. In 2008, at 100 years old, Manoel de Oliveira was reported as the oldest active film director in the world.. 19. 18.

Movies ·· 2014 · Great Circle Mapper JamHub Storchen Chocolate Cake | Nick Malgieri Easter just wouldn’t be the same without chocolate and here’s a moist and tender chocolate cake shared a while back by Axel Giese, then the pastry chef at the Hotel Storchen in Zurich. The recipe is no more difficult than boiling water. In the photo the top of the cake is spread with a little melted chocolate and served with a drizzle of chocolate sauce and some whipped cream. I think the whipped cream is indispensible, but you can omit spreading the top of the cake with chocolate as well as the sauce – the cake is quite chocolaty without them. Adapted from the Hotel Storchen, Zurich Makes one 8-inch cake, about 10 to 12 small, rich servings 1/2 cup water 1/3 cup sugar 8 tablespoons (1 stick/4 ounces) unsalted butter, cut into 10 pieces 12 ounces premium semisweet chocolate in disks or cut into 1/4-inch pieces 2 tablespoons Kirsch or dark rum 6 large eggs Set a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees.

Meet the Veneno, A $4 Million Lamborghini Made for Just 3 People By: Jeremy Helms | March 5th, 2013 Of all the world’s supercar makers, none stretch the idea of an ultimate sports machine quite so far as Lamborghini. For its 50th anniversary, the Italian automaker has created its most bizarre car yet: Meet the Veneno, a $4 million alien craft that will be assembled for only three buyers who’ve already put down their deposits — and being sold out before it goes into production is only a hint of the Veneno’s speed. Built from the Aventador chassis, Lamborghini says the Veneno was designed to come as close as possible to a Le Mans-quality race car that’s still usable on public roads. Named for a Spanish fighting bull that killed a toreador in 1914, the Veneno uses carbon fiber everywhere, from the tweaked Avendator chassis to the body and interior controls.
