One fascinating film trivia I learned recently is that Sofia Coppola and Spike Jonze’s marriage from 1999 to 2003 partially inspired Coppola’s 2003 film Lost In Translation and Jonze’s 2013 film Her.

Des nouvelles concernant l’effondrement de l'échafaudage Š #PrillyMalley. Les parallèles avec Crans-Montana sont choquants: selon le rapport des experts, aucune règle n’était respectée, et la question n'était pas de savoir «si» cela arriverait, mais «quand».
