Conundrum

By February 5, 2009January 12th, 20263 Comments

I under­stand that I have no one but myself to blame for this pre­dic­a­ment, but the idea that every­one who stops by this blog will be first greeted by the sight of a par­tic­u­lar slack-jawed face (see the post below this one) is a little too much for me to bear. By all means, scroll down and read the per­tin­ent post, but before doing so, enjoy this much more com­pan­ion­able image, of Claudia Cardinale, from Visconti’s The Leopard. Thanks for your support.

    Oh, excel­lent choice as an example of cine­mat­ic beauty (both in the shot’s mise-en-scene, and in the act­or you chose to highlight).

    Breathtaking. I actu­ally gasped. Thank you. (Although the Swanberg piece is fas­cin­at­ing, even if like me you’ve nev­er seen a single one of his movies.)

    Ms Cardinale had the good for­tune or exquis­ite instincts to lend her talents/beauty to a dis­pro­por­tion­ate num­ber of won­der­ful films (along with B. Lancaster, B. Stanwyck, Robert Ryan, James Mason). Generations hence will watch her bring­ing water out to the gawk­ing rail­work­ers in the magis­teri­al end­ing of ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST and wish to God they had been born sooner.
