Iconic movies never go out of style - age does not wither them. BREATHLESS is just released in a new 50th anniversary print - like Varda's CLEO FROM 5 TO 7 (also re-released recently) it is a poem to early '60s Paris; L'AVVENTURA and PSYCHO were similarly re-released, and I finally discovered THE APARTMENT this year! Also due for re-release (though its never really gone away) should be Delon and Clement's endlessly fascinating stylish PLEIN SOLEIL with its real mediterranean of that iconic year 1960... I have written about them previously here and will probably continue to do so...
2,000 POSTS DONE!, so I am posting less frequently, but will still be adding news, comments and photos.. As archived, its a ramble through my movie watching, music and old magazine store and discussing People We Like [Loren, Monroe, Vitti, Romy Schneider, Lee Remick, Kay Kendall, Anouk & Dirk Bogarde, Delon, Belmondo, Jean Sorel, Belinda Lee; + Antonioni, Hitchcock, Wilder, Minnelli, Cukor, Joni Mitchell, David Hockney etc]. As Pauline Kael wrote: "Art, Trash and the Movies"!
Dedications: My four late friends Rory, Stan, Bryan, Jeff - shine on you crazy diamonds, they would have blogged too. Then theres Garry from Brisbane, Franco in Milan, Mike now in S.F. / my '60s-'80s gang: Ned & Joseph in Ireland; in England: Frank, Des, Guy, Clive, Joe & Joe, Ian, Ivan, Nick, David, Les, Stewart, the 3 Michaels / Catriona, Sally, Monica, Jean, Ella, Anne, Candie / and now: Daryl in N.Y., Jerry, John, Colin, Martin and Donal.
