THE WILD ONE

Laslo Benedek (1953)

Sleepless

"Non, ce serait trop affreux. Si la mort n'était pas un état de repos, 

quel salut espérer dans cette vie imparfaite et éreintante? 

Mais finalement, personne ne savait ce qu'était la mort. 

Qui donc l'avait vraiment vue? Personne. Seuls les morts connaissent la mort. 

Les vivants ignorent tout. Ils ne font qu'imaginer. Simples supputations. 

Ce n'est même pas logique de penser que la mort soit un repos. 

On ne sait pas tant qu'on n'est pas mort."

Sommeil, Haruki Murakami

My sympathy

“I have for the first time found what I can truly love–I have found you. 

You are my sympathy–my better self–my good angel–I am bound to you with a strong attachment. 

I think you good, gifted, lovely: a fervent, a solemn passion is conceived in my heart; it leans to you, draws you to my centre and spring of life, wrap my existence about you–and, kindling in pure, powerful flame, fuses you and me in one.” 

Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

Best fashion film ever

Matthew Frost has directed a satirical new short for fashion brand Viva Vena, that borrows from the clichéd subject matter of every single generic fashion film ever made. Miss Caplan delivers a great performance as the overly self-aware fashion heroine, and the short covers all the other requisite fashion film themes, including:

Retro technology:

Predictable cultural references:

Communion with nature:

And spontaneous performances with obscure musical instruments:

Here you can enjoy the best fashion film ever:
