My name is Michele. I am half Italian, half Iranian. I am a video journalist currently living in Berlin, Germany. I am a music fanatic and love reading, writing and running. I am trying to fry things only with olive oil but the temptation to use butter remains strong.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

Music: Late 90s hip hop/ r&b (from Missy Elliott to Nas), moody pop music (the Scandinavians do it best), Italian classics, Iranian classics, classic soul, moody electro, etc.

Movies: Spike Lee's "The 25th Hour" and James Whale's "Showboat" are two movies I know by heart.

Books: Albert Camus' theatre works (most notably "Caligula"), Borges' short stories, Philip Roth's "The Human Stain", Vargas Llosa's "Pantaleon y las Visitadoras", Heller's "Catch 22". And many many others.
