Propaganda

Harry Belafonte (Carmen Jones, Island in the Sun)—one of my favorite things in the world when I'm sad is kicking back and listening to him and Danny Kaye singing "Hava Nagila" together. Or who can forget this man singing the Banana Boat song with the Muppets?? immensely talented, a powerful fighter for civil rights and humanitarian causes his whole life, if you have any remaining doubts PLEASE look at the following pics [attached below]

Jean-Pierre Cassel (Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines)—short king. little french monster. the hottest thing in this movie not including all the airplanes. dad of that other french actor guy who looks just like him but longer

This is round 1 of the bracket. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage man.

Magnificent Musketeer Tournament

D'Artagnan Poll 2 - Preliminary Round

D'Artaganan - Jean-Paul Belmondo Les Trois Mousquetaires 1959

He's so cheerful and iconic, I remember really loving this version of D'Artagnan, watching this movie a bit after reading the book.

D'Artaganan - Jean-Pierre Cassel Cyrano et D'Artagnan 1964

He is so stupid, which is so important in a D'Artagnan. The plot of the movie mixes Cyrano de Bergerac and The Three Musketeers into a smoothie of ridiculousness, which means that D'Artagnan takes the part of Christian : dumb as a rock and incapable of wooing his beloved with poetry. He's fun, he just want to duel the whole world and he loves his friends sooooo much. Also the movie in itself is very interesting because a large part of the dialogues is written in alexdrin verses that were composed specifically for the movie, not taken out of any preexisting plays!

This is the preliminary round for D'Artagnan, consisting of 4 polls - there will be more D'Artagnans in the next round!

The complete list of entrants can be found here.

Films I've watched in 2024 (58/?)

I LOVE this film! It has a spectacular cast, Paris, fashion, it's from the early-90s, a running gag about people stepping in dog poo in the streets of Paris (iykyk); what's not to love?!

Valentine Merlet, Jacqueline Bisset, Virginie Ledoyen, and Jean-Pierre Cassel in La Cérémonie (Claude Chabrol, 1995)

Cast: Isabelle Huppert, Sandrine Bonnaire, Jean-Pierre Cassel, Jacqueline Bisset, Virginie Ledoyen, Valentine Merlet, Julien Rochefort, Dominique Frot, Jean-François Perrier. Screenplay: Claude Chabrol, Caroline Eliacheff, based on a novel by Ruth Rendell. Cinematography: Bernard Zitzerman. Production design: Daniel Mercier. Film editing: Monique Fardoulis. Music: Matthieu Chabrol.

Claude Chabrol's La Cérémonie begins with a long tracking shot through the window of a café, picking up Sophie (Sandrine Bonnaire) as she walks toward her appointment with Catherine Lelièvre (Jacqueline Bisset). Catherine is as chic as Sophie, boyishly dressed with her hair cut in too-short bangs, is drab. The Lelièvres need a housekeeper, Catherine tells her, and Sophie presents the letter of reference from her most recent employer. The interview is slightly awkward, partly because Sophie is oddly oblique in her answers. But Catherine has a large house in a remote location and she needs a housekeeper right away. When Catherine drives Sophie to the house, a young woman named Jeanne appears and hitches a ride to the village near the Lelièvres house; Jeanne (Isabelle Huppert), who is as brashly forward as Sophie is reserved, works in the village post office. At the house, Sophie meets Catherine's husband, Georges (Jean-Pierre Cassel), a rather blustery businessman; her son from a previous marriage, the teenage Gilles (Valentine Merlet); and her stepdaughter, a university student named Melinda (Virginie Ledoyen). Sophie proves to be an excellent cook and a reliable maid-of-all-work, but we soon discover that she has a secret or two. One is that she's illiterate, the result of a profound dyslexia. She doesn't drive, being unable to pass a driving test, and pretends that she needs glasses. When Georges insists on taking her to an optometrist, she ducks out of the appointment and buys a cheap pair of drugstore glasses -- though even then she is unable to give the sales clerk the exact change. Waiting for Georges, she meets Jeanne again, and the two women strike up a friendship. Jeanne, it turns out, knows another secret of Sophie's, which is that she was accused of setting fire to her house, killing her disabled father. Jeanne herself was accused of abusing her daughter, born out of wedlock, and causing her death, but both women were acquitted for lack of evidence. And so the stage is set for a story of folie à deux that Chabrol and Caroline Eliacheff adapted from a novel, A Judgment in Stone, by Ruth Rendell. Bonnaire and Huppert are extraordinary in their contrasting styles: Bonnaire passive, almost autistic in manner, Huppert bold and outgoing. The climax, in which a frenzied Jeanne releases Sophie's pent-up hostility, is shattering.

L’armée des ombres (army of shadows), Jean-Pierre Melville, 1969

Durant la 2ème guerre mondiale se forme un groupe de résistants français. Un film assez sombre tant au sens propre qu’au sens figuré. Mais c’est assez bizarre, des scènes sont tirées en longueur sans que j’y ai vu de raison particulière, ce qui nous donne au final un film de 2h30.

During WWII, the story of a group of French resistant fighters. A dark movie, both in the proper sense and in the figurative sense. Some scenes seem to be drawn-out without any reason, giving in the end a running time of 2h30.
