What an outstanding photograph!
Jean-Luc Godard on the set of his 1964 film Bande Γ Part, with his stars Sami Frey & Claude Brasseur (#RIP), masked, but not socially distancing.
The still photographer on the set was Marilou Parolini.
Stay well Jean-Luc & Sami!
Watched Kar-Wai Wong's In The Mood For Love for the first time @criterionchannl. What a masterpiece!
Blu-ray cover by Lucien S. Y. Yang
Watching Kar-Wai Wong's In The Mood For Love, we thought of Kubrick (2001, Eyes Wide Shut), Neil Jordan's The End of the Affair, Scorsese's The Age of Innocence, David Lean's Brief Encounter, Godard, Truffaut, Antonioni. I felt like I was in the middle of a Henry James novel.
The French poster for the 20th anniversary restoration of Kar-Wai Wong's In The Mood For Love by @studiotstella is perfection.
