  1. 3 things about Otto Preminger’s BONJOUR TRISTESSE [1958]

    1. Deborah Kerr’s cashmere (?) car dress in ivory.
    2. The patio at twilight. On the right, the group tanks up prior to their trip to the casino; on the left, the housemaid swigs a beer while standing behind the bar.
    3. Subterranean powder room with an asymmetrical mirror.

  2. Home visiting dad, we're watching one of my top ten favourite films, A Matter of Life and Death while dinner cooks.

    Powell & Pressburger, who made some of the most beautiful British movies ever filmed, so emotional, such wonderful cinematography.

    Years ago we saw it screened, introduced by legendary Jack Cardiff, who lensed it all those decades before.
