TV: Tintin e Moi
So I caught PBS's program Tintin e Moi last night. Surprisingly good (I suppose I shouldn't be that surprised, POV is a rather good program), and though I knew Catholicism, Fascism, and the war years all contributed as influences to Herge's Tintin work, I didn't realise where and how, precisely.
It was fascinating to see this partial biography on Herge, based from a short series of taped interviews in 1971, and to see how the personal events in his life - his marriage, his politics, his religion - tracked with particular Tintin books I read growing up.
I also was completely ignorant of Herge's psychological troubles.
Listen and learn, I guess.
