I've seen some excellent French films this year. This week it was Pascal Bonitzer's "Looking for Hortense", described as a 'comedie de moeurs.' Jean-Pierre Bacri, the male lead, was wonderful as mournful, somewhat world-weary Damien. Kristen Scott Thomas once again played a neurotic woman - she is in so many films at the moment that she must be working round the clock! Paris was the backdrop, beautifully observed. I liked everything about this film and we talked about it afterwards on our way to a restaurant to eat. I enjoy conversations after a good film or book or play when we discuss what we thought of it and sometimes find that we have arrived at the same opinion and other times have a completely different take on things. This time we both agreed that it was well cast and well structured, with some excellent cameo performances and a thought-provoking storyline.
At the restaurant I went to the ladies, shut the door and found an extremely gorgeous Sean Connery looking down at me!
Well, he may have been admiring the new/old water closet system. (When I was an art student I used to buy lavatory chain like this to use as a necklace for the pieces of jewellery that I made from coloured enamels fused onto copper!)
I popped next door to see who might be there.
Oh, Boy! Cary Grant!
So glad I was wearing my lacy underwear!
I don't think I could have gone...
ReplyDeletehow cheeky!
Thanks for the movie recommendation!
Cheeky! Me or the men?
DeleteI hope you will enjoy the film, do let me know what you think of it.
Oh my, Sean Connery. He is such a classic. I love movies set in Paris, I will look for it. I hope you are having a wonderful August. Bonnie
ReplyDeleteYes, isn't that a great photo? Only Sean Connery was James Bond in my opinion!
DeleteIt has been a lovely summer but soft rain today, and, dare I say it in mid August, a sense of autumn in the air.
I wonder whose performance-stopping photos were in the "Gents"!?
