”Night does not show things, it suggests them. It disturbs and surprises us with its strangeness.” – Brassai

I am so convinced that Louis' photos in Paris in the new episode are inspired by Brassai's 'Paris De Nuit' photobook, those photo snapshots from the motorbike ride fit right in with the dark gothic vibe of Brassai's work and seeing as he mostly photographed the interwar period for that book it's totally viable Louis would have seen it.

The Theatre just epitomises the freedom and hedonism of post war Europe which Brassai captured in his photos aditionally, the 30s and 40s are such an underrepresented era of fashion and aesthetic in modern cinema (at least when it's done well) and I'm so ecstatic that IWTV is doing it such justice.

Either way I'm convinced the production used Brassai as inspiration, I mean look Louis' photos blend right in.

Also sidenote: Claudia's dress she got from Madeline this ep is actually to die for I'm so close to throwing out all my project plans to make it
