now that the french dispatch is (semi)out in the world and tilda's (semi)portrayal of rosamund bernier is out there i cannot recommend enough reading bernier's memoir amazon.com/Some-My-Lives-…
it's such a weird piece of writing! sort of like an art diary meets who-i-banged meets european travel guide meets college lecture and also fashion magazine???? it's very good for fall because it's all about crisp seduction and seasonal affairs
also what you will see in the film is tilda giving a museum lecture like bernier did for decades (rosamund was never really a features writer, so that part of tilda's character is a composite of other women). her met lectures are so worth watching: nytimes.com/video/arts/119…
i meant to type *rosamond* but oh well!
rosamond stood on the stage at the met in RESPLENDENT caftans and fully gossiped about artists for an hour and her lectures were always so packed people couldn't get in
