Kelly Osbourne’s new video inspired by Godard’s
Alphaville. (via
stereogum)
Even with loads of slimming and beautifying CGI, Kelly ain’t no
Anna Karina!
There’s no substitute for her soul, style, spirit, and substance.
I am curious though.
Speaking of
Godard and dark-haired beauties, this time, childhood crush
Chantal Goya,
AFI Silver is running
Masculine-Feminine all week! I’d go but I
recently revisited it on the bring screen and have a full week. Not to be missed!
Dates/showtimes.
In the immortal words of my heroine, critic
Pauline Kael:
"New Wave master Jean-Luc Godard captures "the children of Marx and Coca Cola" in this strikingly honest portrait of youth and sex in 1960s Paris. One of Godard's most innovative films, his camera takes to the streets, mixing documentary-style interviews about sex, love and politics with characters responding to actual events: suicides, homicides and a film-within-a-film. Gunshots announce the beginning of each of 15 "acts," as Truffaut regular Jean-Pierre Léaud chases budding pop star Chantal Goya. "Graceful, intuitive... Godard gets at the differences in the way girls are with each other and with boys."
