Délicieuse!

♥ I’m quite enamored with most of Jean-Luc Godard’s films, but I’m particularly fond of 1966′s Masculin, féminin. It’s a touching and delightful depiction of the struggle to carve out a place for beauty, intimacy, and individuality in a chaotic and tumultuous world:
“We’d often go to the movies. We’d shiver as the screen lit up. But more often, Madeline and I would be disappointed. More often we’d be disappointed. The images flickered. Marilyn Monroe looked terribly old. It saddened us. It wasn’t the film we had dreamed, the film we all carried in our hearts, the film we wanted to make… and secretly wanted to live.”

Chantal Goya is so pretty and delightful!
& Here’s the original trailer:
It’s a wonderful film, both charming and thought-provoking. Definitely recommended!

Curiously, I've all but ignored these French New Wave films and doubt I've seen a single one. However, chances are good that I'll eventually watch one entirely by mistake and be forced to deal with the consequences of enjoying it. :^)

Hee, totally. You will enjoy it and then spend the rest of your life pretending that you didn't. :)
