If you watch films for only one reason, you miss out on many wonderful treasures. Some films may lack in a truly compelling narrative, or may be insubstantial in plot, but may offer a certain aesthetic that draws us into an unusual frame of mind, perspective, or set of emotions.

There are many times I watch for aesthetics over anything else. I haven't heard of this film but these shots are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard of this film but I followed the link and thought it looked very interesting. I particularly loved the shot of the drab street for some reason.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely need to check this one out. Eva Green has always intrigued me, too.
ReplyDeletei haven’t heard of this film beofre i came here! definitely need to have a look at this one;
ReplyDeleteAnd i want to be that girl in the boat, i so love that picture...
As I mostly live in visuals, films need to have an aesthetic edge to draw me, sometimes I like to turn the sound off, I find this both relaxing and intriguing.
ReplyDeleteThese images hold a story in themselves, particularly the bottom one, you just want to be in her story!
Thanks for sharing. x

Definitely adding this to the
ReplyDeletelist of must see movies!
This one looks like a good one. Thanks for the recommendation.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're enjoying a lovely summer ;-)
it looks like a beautiful film!
ReplyDeleteSo alluring - I will order it through Netflix and find the CD. Just yesterday evening caught Stealing Beauty on HBO {am housesitting for my aunts} and had forgotten how visually beautiful it is - not to mention blessed a deeply soulful soundtrack.
