Emanuele Scorcelletti propose ici un voyage au cœur de la plus prestigieuse manifestation cinématographique du monde. Une promenade aux allures de défilé de mode, de corso fleuri, d’apparitions éblouissantes et d’instantanés captés par un artiste qui laisse percer la vie à travers ses images. Mais Scorcelletti nous fait également découvrir la face cachée du Festival, des loges d’artistes aux réunions du jury, des chambres d’hôtel à l’intérieur des limousines, des ascenseurs secrets aux cuisines des palaces, tous les préparatifs et subtils à–côtés qui participent, aussi, à la réussite d’un événement exceptionnel.

En l'honneur du 60ème anniversaire du festival de Cannes, Emanuele Scorcelletti, nous offre des images exceptionnelles : montée des marches, grands hôtels, et instants volés des acteurs et plus belles actrices du monde.

Part I of Gravity Falls Hotel AU!

Introducing Stanley as the Gruncierge, or Grumpy Concierge who really doesn’t understand customer service.

We have Mabel as your friendly Lift Operator with Waddles as Assistant Operator. They’ll take you to wherever you want to go, and also where you don’t.

Last but not least, here is Dipper as your trusty Lobby Boy!! He may be young (and a bit scrawny) but all that heavy lifting is surely going to build him up in no time.

[Oh and lots of stained glass. With hidden Bills all around.]

The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014); Dir. Wes Anderson

Young Writer: Is it simply your last connection to that banished world - his world, if you will? Mr. Moustafa: His world? No, I don't think so. You see, we shared a vocation, it wouldn't have been necessary. No, the hotel I keep for Agatha. We were happy here, for a little while. Mr. Moustafa Cont'd: To be frank, I think his world had vanished long before he ever entered it. But I will say, he certainly sustained the illusion with a marvelous grace.

Greta Garbo, born Greta Gustafsson 119 years ago on September 18th ❤️

When Greta was born, [her father] Karl’s employer offered to adopt her to ease their poverty. Anna [her mother] refused. If God sent us a child, she said, he will provide bread. […]

What can be concluded about Garbo’s childhood? Was it a joyful time, as she played sports, produced plays, and led the neighborhood gang in mischief? Was it gloomy, filled with violence? Cecil Beaton asked her those questions and recorded her answers: “She talked about her youth and how unhappy she was. I interjected: But you’ve always told me you were such a tomboy and had so much fun leading the other children into mischief. She replied: ‘Cecil Beaton, how can you say such things! There are 365 days in the year!’” Garbo’s reply to Beaton’s question sounds like Garbo at her humorous best, using irony to avoid a direct answer. She probably found her childhood both happy and harrowing; both these reactions colored her later life. But its traumas never left her. She couldn’t stand quarreling, and she trained herself to remain calm when disagreements arose. There was also her terrible fear of strangers, not only in crowds but also in intimate settings. As she aged, books with violence in them frightened her. She always felt as though she was running away from someone or something. These aspects of her character sound like holdovers from a violent experience as a child. Yet, she could be playful and jokey, childlike and joyful. And she could take problems in stride. When a group of fans mobbed her after the opening of Camille in 1936, she wrote to her mentor and close friend Salka Viertel, “I guess I can’t complain. After all, I’m just a circus lady.” She included in the letter a picture she had drawn of herself as a tightrope walker, with a parasol in one hand.

Part II of Gravity Falls (and Over the Garden Wall) Hotel AU

Releasing in threes again:

Greg and Jason Funderburker as everyone’s favourite Band Performers; they have a song for just about anything!

Soos as your loyal Maintenance Man, who dreams of one day becoming the Concierge in Stan’s footsteps

Wirt as the Waiter of the hotel’s restaurant! If needed he can also recite some poetry during a romantic meal, but customers have found them a tad too forlorn for their taste.

(Working on Beatrice, Wendy and possibly Tad Strange for the next post…)
