Two terrific posters for the Cannes Film Festival - the new one for 2011 featuring Faye Dunaway in the 1970 PUZZLE OF A DOWNFALL CHILD (I have a copy somewhere, may be time for another look at this arty hippy confection) which has been restored and will be showing at this year's festival [the 64th], with Dunaway and director Jerry Schatzberg attending; and the 2009 poster which is a nice tribute to Monica Vitti and Antonioni and L'AVVENTURA.
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.
Both very nice, but I really love that gorgeous shot of the magnificent Vitti!
