The idea that No Children is actually a song sung between Jean Seberg and Jean-Paul Belmondo is a great interpretive twist. Completely plausible but completely counter to the "meth-lab trash" vision of the Alpha pair.

Twinkle designer Wenlan Chia has her eye on iconic actress Jean Seberg. For Spring, her schoolgirl charm is translated to classic tailored pieces, made over with sporty elements. But she keeps things feminine with bohemian artistry. These two looks demonstrate the juxtaposition. As the designer put it: "The blend of colors, textures, vintage inspired prints, and tailored silhouettes give my collection...

Jean Seberg in 1958 at the age of 20. [ src ] While looking for pictures of some of my favorite actors at the beach I tripped across this somewhat odd snap of Jean for Otto Preminger's Bonjour Tristesse and it reminded me of my own appreciation for lovely short-haired actresses.

The close-up of female persecution, immortalized cinematically perhaps beyond improvement in Dreyer's Passion of Joan of Arc. The trope finds itself re-interpreted within the broader context of the Bressonian aesthetic in his Trial of Joan of Arc . Rossellini in his own way sought to pare things down at least as much as Bresson (for different reasons, to different ends*). He made his own Jeanne d'Arc...
