Inside Goupil Le Fol, Half Bar, Half Cabinet of Curiosities 🍷 🕯️ 🎵🌹
If you're ever in Brussels, just a few steps from the Grand‑Place you'll find Goupil Le Fol tucked away on Rue de la Violette, half bar, half cabinet of curiosities. Old chansons on the speakers, red candles in wine bottles, and walls drowning in portraits, sheet music and odd relics, like drinking in a fever dream mix of Parisian and Brussels nostalgia.

Today’s visit to Maison Hanon highlights the transition between traditional French Beaux-Arts and the emerging Art Nouveau style of the early 1900s.

This thought-provoking exhibit offers an interesting look at our current trajectory.
A sad day for cinema as we say goodbye to Robert Duvall at 95. A somber moment, but a good time to remember the mastery he brought to the screen.
His performance as Lt. Col. Kilgore in Apocalypse Now remains one of the most powerful in film history, none more so than the "Ride of the Valkyries" scene, where he commands the screen with a terrifying, cool detachment amidst the chaos.
