Movie : Qui êtes-vous Polly Maggoo - William Klein

Un de mes films préféré est Qui êtes-vous Polly Maggoo de William Klein



Une équipe télé, composée entre autre des jeunes Jean Rochefort et Philippe Noiret, réalise un reportage sur une jeune mannequin en vogue, Polly Maggoo.







Ce film est une véritable mine de références esthétiques.
La composition de chaque plan est tellement intéressante que le film fonctionnerait toujours en diaporama d'images fixes.









Chaque scène est un délice d'humour blasé et de cynisme, avec en plus des éléments et des répliques complètement incongrus, loufoques et délirants.







Ce faux portrait est en fait l'occasion de dénoncer les aberrations de la mode, de s'en moquer, mais aussi d'en décrypter les codes.



Et finalement on découvre que les questions posées par ce film, en 1966, sont encore d'actualité en 2008 (la femme sans formes, le narcissisme exacerbé, la primauté de l'image et des apparences...)



La chanson du générique final est simplement délicieuse

Red is the new Black

Skinny is the new Pretty

Overlapped Monologes is the new Dialogue

Asshole is the new Man

Cocaine is the new Coffee

Depressed is the new Lazy

Koop - Island Blues

Hello my love
It's getting cold on this island
I'm sad alone
I'm so sad on my own
The truth is
We were much too young
Now I'm looking for you
Or anyone like you

We said goodbye
With the smile on our faces
Now you're alone
You're so sad on your own
The truth is
We run out of time
Now you’re looking for me
Or anyone like me

Na na na na…

Hello my love
It's getting cold on this island
I'm sad alone
I'm so sad on my own
The truth is
We were much too young
Now I'm looking for you
Or anyone like you

Neil Sedaka - Bad Blood

It coulda been me but it was you
Who went and bit off a little bit more than he could chew
You said that you had it made, but you been had
The woman no good, no how, thinkin' maybe the blood is bad

Bad (ba-a-ad) blood (blo-o-od)
The woman was born to lie
Makes promises she can't keep
With the wink on an eye

Bad (ba-a-ad) blood (blo-o-od)
Brother, you've been deceived
It's bound to change you mind
About all you believe

From where I stand, it looks mighty strange
How you let a woman like that treat you like small change
I don't understand what you're lookin' to find
The only thing bad blood do is mess up a good man's mind


Bad (ba-a-ad) blood (blo-o-od)
The bitch is in her smile
The lie is on her lips
Such an evil child

Bad (ba-a-ad) blood (blo-o-od)
Is takin' you for a ride
The only good thing about bad blood
Is lettin' it slide

Doo-ron, doo-ron, di di, dit, dit, ron-ron
Doo-ron, doo-ron, di di, dit, dit, ron-ron
Doo-ron, doo-ron, di di, dit, dit, ron-ron
Bad blood, talkin' 'bout bad blood

Bad (ba-a-ad) blood (blo-o-od)
The bitch is in her smile
The lie is on her lips
Such an evil child

Bad (ba-a-ad) blood (blo-o-od)
Is takin' you for a ride
The only thing good about bad blood
Is lettin' it slide

The only good thing about bad blood
Is lettin' it slide

The adventure begins

For those who know, the big adventure is about to begin, and for once, it's me deciding all the way, how weird....

as in Nice little Penguin song "Flying"

Here I am, I'm on my own
For the first time, really on my own
So will I make it, will it work all right
Can I make it through the night

And I go...

OOoooohh.....
OOoooohh.....
OOoooohh.....
I am flying
In open space

Look at me I’m riding high
I'm the air born master of the sky
And everything beneeth me seems to fade
without a trace without a shape

Polaroid of the Day

Today i took two pictures, both bad.


that's too bad cause this one was in a restaurant with Ennis, where they call you when your food is ready, "food for snakes !" or "food for zebras !" :) and here on the wall it said "Do not feed the animals" haha


and after dinner i went to see The Darjeeling Limited by Wes Anderson, and the room was just so David Lynch, but it came out very bad on picture...


well at least it was a very good day :)

Movie : The Darjeeling Limited

Well, without any surprise, last Wes Anderson's movie is is just perfect. Inspired, full of colours, images, references, little ditails, and smart subtle jokes.



and it starts with a short movie called Hotel Chevalier, with really well written dialogues.
