Ah, I didn't know they were friends, thank you. I agree, it was an amazing interview, and I'll definitely rewatch. I just got a bit upset early on when the host's intro made a joke about the school bullies throwing things at his head, it didn't seem right. Maybe displaced anger, I dunno. I get protective sometimes. But, he handled it all with his usual grace, dignity and aplomb, all was well in the end. ❤️ 1 hour ago, krysady said: And there's also some special interviews that is worth to watch like these ones: Thanks! I've seen the first one, but not the second, I'll watch it tonight. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there's also some special interviews that is worth to watch like these ones: Thanks. I had seen some bits of these without subtitles before, but watching it all with subtitles is a lot more interesting. Especially the Italian one. His meeting with Dario Fo is so sweet. And what he says afterwards, that it was so surreal but surreal is bad because he can't really believe it and the next morning he'll think "oh no, why didn't I say that, why didn't I touch him more?" Welcome to our world, Mika. And I totally agree with what he says about love, that it's constant change. And also the bit where he says he writes the best lovesongs when he's not in love, he said that a few times in interviews, but here he explains it in a way that I finally understand what he means by that. And although this is getting slightly OT (but in a way you can count it to "keeping us busy while Mika doesn't post ), if we talk about special interviews, the ones from Giffoni film festival (especially the 2016 ones) shouldn't be missing. part 1 part 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked very much how Daria did the interview, and even if he was struggling with his Italian at that time, it was a very interesting and "warm" interview. Yes, Giffoni was so special and fun, thanks for posting! I am still very sorry that we never got videos of his speech at Bocconi University, I find it very interesting when he is answering to the students' questions.

Was that the one from 2013 or so where he talked about Marketing? Indeed, I also would have loved to hear that. About Daria, in general I agree, but I thought she kept pressing him a bit too much about the abusive teacher, he obviously wasn't ready to talk about it at the time. Also at another point when she said something he looked at her like "just STOP it!!". In the Le Divan interview the personal questions didn't bother me, because the interview is set that way, it IS supposed to be about deeply personal topics and I'm sure Mika knew what he was signing up for by doing that. Anyway it's interesting to see how over the years he becomes more and more open and relaxed to talk about personal things, and this 2014 interview with Daria might even have opened the door to some of the later stuff. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lecture in honor of a Miami prostitute". I remember him saying that he got very interesting questions from students, it is such a shame that we never got the recording Edit: maybe this is the format for Daria's show as well, with personal topics, I guess Mika knew somehow what to expect Later Edit: OT on MFC??

Hero Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 So, we have an instagram update. Does anyone recognise the mirror or the wall in the garden? Sounds like there's a fountain or water feature nearby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prisca Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 There are many light blue houses in Greece. Maybe he is there? Are there camels? I''m . OK, I did some recherche. There is the Attica zoo in Athens and they have camels. And it is open right now. Maybe he was there some days ago and the "camel fountain" is from there? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
