Nov 27 – Dec 20 Daily @ Pacific Film Archive Theater Director Otto Preminger was a Jewish refugee of Austrian origin whose unflinching independence led to innovations in both storytelling and social awareness — often at the expense of MPAA regulations. His provocations include the first depiction of a gay bar, in Advise and Consent (1962); Dorothy Dandridge's history-making, Oscar-nominated...

In 1962 Alain Resnais’ film Last Year at Marienbad aka L’année dernière à Marienbad (1961) debuted in America and apparently made quite a splash with film critics as well as fashionistas. As the following fashion article from ‘62 makes clear, women were obviously inspired by the lovely Delphine Seyrig and attempted to mimic her look [...]

Today's Cinematic Birthdays 11/13 1312 Edward III (of Windsor), not the gay one who gets more cinematic treatment (including Derek Jarman's fascinating take ), but his son. This is the one Shakespeare wrote a play about and the one who Mel Gibson implied to be the bastard son of Braveheart William Wallace, thereby giving the finger to history unless Wallace's sperm could survive years past his death....

Why is it that essays bring out the worst in me? Strictly speaking they don't, but I've had all summer to write as much as I please on this little blog, but when I sit down to start my first 3rd year essay, I find myself distracted ever so easily. Maybe this blog isn't the outlet for my creative pursuits I'd first envisaged, but a tool of procrastination. Aa well the less I dwell the better. I've been...

Bonjour Tristesse (1958) Director: Otto Preminger By Roderick Heath Bonjour Tristesse, Françoise Sagan’s famous debut novel is a pseudo-tragic morality play flavoured with haute-couture raciness and 10-franc philosophy. Nonetheless, it was a perceptive work that hit a nerve, all...

On this ridiculously warm day in late October, I eat my words about the passing of Indian Summer with much, much relish. What better a morning to pay tribute to a few stylishly iconic ladies of the past, who illuminated smoky rooms at even the darkest of hours -- and carried on the glorious tradition of blonde, short haired girls in striped, wide neck tops. If Jean Seberg and Edie Sedgwick ever met,...

I think it's relatively obvious that Jean Seberg, immortalized in her little striped shirt in A bout de souffle (Breathless) , is considered one of those 'classic' style icons. And then there is Christy Turlington, super amongst Supers. Put the two together, throw Ellen von Unwerth behind the lens, and you have this wonderful Turlington as Seberg editorial from a 1990 US Vogue. Pretty fucking fabulous....

I recently bought these two patterns to get myself back in the sewing mood. The first is from 1940 and I'm just crazy about it! I found it after I disappointingly lost out on a similar 40s sailor dress on Ebay. It went for $160! So, after losing I went searching on google for 1940s sailor dresses and this pattern popped up on Etsy. The perfect size and everything, happiness! The second pattern is from...

Even though I'd love to have Jean Seberg's haircut in theory, it's another 60's inspired 'do that actually works better with my face and hair texture: long hair and bangs. I think I just might keep wearing variations of it until I am old and grey.
