strudel and cream

saw inglorious basterds last night, and among finding the movie engrossing as a whole, am completely smitten with all the fashion in the film.

now, i'm going to be totally honest; i have found tarantino movies to be a little distractedly long-winded in the past for no other purpose than to indulge the director's nerosies.
however, part of the reason i feel basterds worked well with this type of writing is that it was very straight-forward in its western, stand-offish approach to each individual scene. having developed dialogue contibuted to the suspense and anticipation of the climax, in which the audience knew for certain that someone was about to die. however, in typical unpredictable tarantino fashion where the characters, regardless of their emphasis, are as expendable as the next extra, the audience could never suspect who it might possibly be.
i found the script to be decadent in the illustration of scenarios, painting wonderfully detailed pictures for the audience to revel in (the cinematography was a marvel as well, but i mean, what else would you expect.)

i do find it peculiar that such a horrendous time in history can have so much romance surrounding it; perhaps it is the poignancy of human emotions during such a crisis that are so intriguing.
(oh, and the Parisian backdrop of this film, OBVIOUSLY)

in any case, some stills i've managed to collect..

le smoking
country meets military

lady rouge
adored the scene where she was putting on her makeup before the premiere

this dress stole the show (not to mention that fur stole..)
epic 1940's hollywood glamour






see you at the cinema.
