Darling!

I thought this would be great... Dirk Bogarde + Julie Christie + set in London & Italy in the 1960's. I didn't expect it to become my favorite film ever. It's just awesome. When I researched it I found a review from Time Out giving it 0 stars and saying it was the most rubbish thing that reviewer had ever seen - crazy how different people's tastes are.

I'm open to the fact that maybe it was the perfect film for my mood on that particular day, but I'm dying to watch it again and a little part of me is sure I have found a new favorite.


Kissing in a train carriage, cigarette in one hand, Julie Christie in the other... I think that's the definition of cool.


The wardrobe (especially for Dirk) is spot on. Slightly too short trousers, cardigan and a tie. I'm slightly obsessed, although not quite obsessed as this lady

VICTIM

I'm slowly discovering Dirk Bogarde after reading his autobiography, and the more I see the more I think he is amazing.
I have just watched his film Victim twice because it was so good. It's gone into my 10 ten favorites ever - beautifully shot, awesome London locations and the story is just so good, I can't believe it was made in 1961...

La caduta degli dei

The film was received as a masterpiece, and at the finale, as the lights came up in the vas audiorium, Fellini leapt from his seat in the stalls and facing us he saluted visconti with the great cry of 'Il maestro! Il maestro"
