I didn't make good on my promise to blog about Greer (I do have films starring Greer that I plan to write about). And even this, post dedicated to a pseud0-strong female character, is way late. Better late than never. No regrets. Live like you've never lived before. All things I'm telling myself. Cliche or natural? Cliches surround us to the point of common thought; public domain or what-have-you. Okay, I'll stop. This is the sort of stuff that floats around in my head.
Phil Collins blog title aside, one of my favorite artists of all time is Bowie. Ziggy. Thin White Duke. Jemaine as Bowie, etc. I've been having trouble focusing lately. The Kevin Nealon Special on HBO On Demand doesn't help either.
Props to Quentin Tarantino for his choices in music and score for the soundtrack. Who would have thought that music from Battle of Algiers ("Alegeri: 1 Novembre 1954") could be mentioned in the same sentence as Bowie's "Cat People (Putting Out the Fire)" ?
SHOSANNA DREYFUS + CAT PEOPLE = Delicious '80s video mini-montage in a period piece
Three of my favorite things in one formula! And from QT.
I loved the way her character was styled. There was no other choice but for Shosanna to wear red the night she takes her revenge. I love that she puts her make up on like war paint. Gushing too much.
The Vanity Fair photo has layers of symbolism in black and white; she was in mourning.
Youtube failed me. I couldn't find an appropriate link to merge song + film or even a proper Bowie-tastic video.
