Miscellaneous Movie Musings

[€uroMeinke]

I had a mini-Bardot fest;

Love on a Pillow - dark tale of Bardot, a rich heiress befriending an alcoholic who takes her down a path of debauchery. Fun scenes of 1960's Paris and Florence, Decadent parties with artists, jazz musicians, and wonton sexuality. This would be a great pairing with Vadim's Dangerous Liaisons 1962.

Two Weeks in September - Bardot as a model married to an older man, has an affair while working in London, great London mod scenes, full of new wave (French cinema Nouvelle Vague) photoshoots.

Both great films to sip a cognac to - and made me see again the persistance of architecture. Loved seeing the big city scenes and recognizing the places despite the 60's styles and automobiles that overlay them.
