#Iwatched #BonjourTristesse (1958) and it was a mixed experience. #DavidNiven and #MylèneDemongeot are obviously seasoned actors but the main role is #JeanSeberg and she's tense and controlled, even when she's having fun.

Blake Edwards, Peter Sellers – Der rosarote Panther (1963)
Liebe GenX-Y-Z, ihr müsst jetzt stark sein. Denn über diesen Film, auch weil er noch älter ist, als ich selbst, haben viele Boomer:innen schon ihr ganzes Leben lachen können. Das erschließt sich heute nicht mehr allen. Ist der Film deshalb schlecht gealtert, oder haben wir einfach nur vergessen, wie und wo das, was wir heute modern „Comedy“ nennen, […]
