50th birthdays ...

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...
