when you are on a network that puts you on a timeslot that does not allow for explicit sex scenes , how do you emphasize the thread of sexuality being a relevant factor in the protagonist’s journey? divorce-by-incomplete-blade his marriage, before louis met armand, he was in cruising parks when he wasnt with claudia or trying to be a photographer. that is my one critique of this season i didnt see articulated - in that we did not have enough time to see the times in paris louis lived. we hear him speak of familiarity to gordon parks’s methodology [implying that he knows the man or knows of him very well at the very least] and tell claudia in earnest excitement at the dinner table abt the parisian multiracial avant garde. anyways... the cruising park is where armand decides to confront louis directly for the first time after following him & claudia for five months. the physical evidence of photographs cannot be altered so readily, but the story of them remains to be told by the photographer, louis. and what does he tell us?

“pictures are outward evidence, they do not lie, but neither do they tell you a thorough story.”

October: Silver Redux

Samson and Delilah / Hedy Lamarr as Delilah

Delilah's wardrobe is amazing, culminating in the spectacular peacock gown. Edith Head and her fellow designers won a well-deserved Oscar for their work on this film.

This two-piece dress with bare midriff and draped skirt is simple in style but dripping with pearls. The opulent silver fabric and copious jewelry also show how she's living the high life at this point. I've included a close-up showing her beaded hairnet and crown. Also notice the pearls carelessly twined around her shoulder strap.

The only bright spot in MAESTRO is Carrey Mulligan. Cooper's LB is all surface, no substance. Matt Bomer does more in his 5 minutes of screentime than Cooper does in the whole movie.

The movie covers smth like 50 years of Leonard Bernstein's life and even though it namechecks a lot of his achievements, i didnt get a sense of the person at all. Its more infodump than entertainment. There's some lovely camerawork in the b/w part of the movie (first 30 minutes?) but that's about it. Kinda sad that Bradley Cooper cdnt deliver another beautiful musical film like A STAR IS BORN. His instincts were so much better there. This felt like a mess. A powerpoint presentation of a movie.

Holly Martins is the protagonist of ALL TIME, you don’t even understand…

he thinks he’s the hero in a western

he doesn’t know ANY German

he writes cheap novelettes

he sucks at flirting

he hates cops

he gets an old man killed 

he doesn’t know what a crisis of faith is (until it’s too late)

he is NOT coping 

he gets bit by a bird 

he doesn’t know anyone’s name

he makes terrible jokes 

he Cannot Leave

and, most importantly, he is deeply, deeply stupid

My favourite story from my thesis research, which I think about all the time:

In February 1947, Evgeniia Ginzburg was released from Elgen, a camp in the Kolyma gulag system in Siberia. By this point she had served a 10-year sentence, split between several different camps and villages — this was a common experience for gulag inmates —, during which she worked for a time as a nurse under Anton Walter, a Crimean German doctor and her future husband, in the village of Taskan, 22km (13.6 miles) from Elgen.

So on the day of her release, she calls Walter — sentences were often unexpectedly extended at the last moment, so she needed to let him know it had actually happened so he could come pick her up with a horse and sleigh borrowed from his boss and take her back to Taskan — and he tells her there's a blizzard coming in, that he's arranged lodging for her for the next three days and he'll come get her as soon as it's over. And it's Siberia, and the middle of winter — but she's been in prison for ten years, and the sky still looks clear, and the distance isn't anything she hasn't walked before.

The blizzard sets in when she's maybe halfway there. "It conveys a feeling of man's primal defenselessness," is how she would describe it in her memoir, two decades later. "You are indeed naked on the naked earth." It's freezing, and dark, and she has no idea how far she's walked or how far she has left to go — and she's been alone on the path all this time but suddenly there's someone walking towards her. And it's Walter, because he'd only managed to speak with her for a handful of minutes through the terrible reception of the camp phone that cut off half their words but he knew she wouldn't stay in Elgen, not even for another three days, and he came to get her.

November: Oscar winners

Samson and Delilah / Hedy Lamarr as Delilah

Year: 1950

Designers: Edith Head, Dorothy Jeakins, Elois Jenssen, Gile Steele and Gwen Wakeling

I've meant to revisit this spectacular dress ever since it first featured in Coeli's picks, and since today was Hedy Lamarr's birthday, this seems an appropriate time. Delilah wears a jaw-dropping array of costumes in this film, each one more sumptuous than the last. Just when you think they couldn't possibly top the last one, she shows up for the finale in this peacock gown!

The cape is lavishly adorned with real feathers. Legend says they were "donated" by the peacocks owned by Paramount Studios!

The costume was part of Debbie Reynolds' collection, and it has survived in remarkably good condition.

Lyrics:

Do you want to ride?

Baby, let me tell you

I've been watching you

See you dancing in my dreams

Feel you heartbeat inside of me

So if you feel it coming on

Catch me getting in the mood

Boy, I'll give you anything

Cruising's all you have to do

Do you want to ride in my Mercedes boy?

Tell me what you're gonna do with me

'Cause if you want to ride in my Mercedes boy

There are so many things that I'm gonna do to you

Oh Baby....

Baby, let me tell you

I've been wanting you

Always on the scene good looks and more possessing all of me

So when it starts to coming on

Catch me getting in the mood

Boy, I'll give you anything

Cruising's all you have to do

Do you want to ride in my Mercedes boy?

Tell me what you're gonna do with me

'Cause if you want to ride in my Mercedes boy

There are so many things that I'm gonna do to you

Do you want to ride ?

Do you want to ride in my Mercedes boy?

Tell me what you're gonna do with me

'Cause if you want to ride in my mercedes boy

If I could reach the stars, I'd pull one down for you

Shine it on my heart, so you could see the truth

That this love I have inside, is everything it seems

But for now I find, it's only in my dreams

Do you want to ride in my Mercedes boy?

Tell me what you're gonna do with me

'Cause if you want to ride in my Mercedes boy

There are so many things that I'm gonna do to you
