I often use films as associations for design products and projects because set decoration, in my eyes, is interior design. The actors and actresses who move around in the movies must have interiors in which to exist.
In my diary entry Earnest in Paris, guest blogger Miles Stephenson delved into the differences between the writing of Ernest Hemingway and film director Wes Anderson. One wonderful evening in Paris, Anderson appeared with one of his favorite muses, Tilda Swinton.. In The Architecture of Tango, I admit envy regarding Sally Potter and her films, This post presents The Tango Lesson, a sensuous exploration of the Argentine Tango with Pablo Veron.
In A Midcentury Cougar on the Prowl, Anne Bancroft is the femme fatale; and in Heaven Shall Be Here, Alan Rickman stars in his own directorial debut alongside Kate Winslet and Matthias Schoenaerts. In The Seat of Scottish Power, a sexy Billy Connolly stars as John Brown, a Highlander who serves as Queen Victoria’s groom after she loses her husband. In How to Set a Mood, Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway play chess.
It’s the cast of the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival I celebrate in Celebrating Shakespeare. In Find Your Red Carpet Style, I present beautiful Oscar gowns worn by Liz Taylor, Janet Gaynor, Scarlett Johansson, Lauren Bacall, Vanessa Williams and Margot Robbie. There are many more posts in which I feature actors and actresses so I hope you’ll stop by my blog and enjoy them.
