i saw this trailer last weekend and even the 2 minutes itself is like a little wrapped package that was given just for me.
i can’t express my endless love for michel gondry films (eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, the science of sleep, be kind rewind) and this looks like another win-win in the world of dreamy, fairytale, gondry-esque goodness.
the story, which you can’t really tell from the trailer, is about a couple who are very much in love and get married. the woman develops an illness from a water lily growing in her lungs and the only way she can survive is by flowers, in which her husband tries to constantly surround her with. it’s based on boris vian’s 1947 novel “l’ecume des jours” (translating to “froth on a daydream”) and did i mention it has my future dreamboat french husband in it, romain duris….. *swoon*
enjoy the inspiration!

cecil beaton is a genius, is he not? not only did he take famous (and stunning) photographs from the likes of audrey hepburn and marilyn monroe, but he also designed the sets and costumes for films like

nearly 9 months ago I observed my current lifestyle. i had moved back from new york city and signed a one-year lease in savannah, georgia. i had a full time job at a boutique with no immediate plans for the future except to see where my life would take me within the year. i knew i didn’t want to sit around and waste time and that i wanted to apply myself in someway. i might as well learn something while i’m in this transitioning period.
i felt as if i was continuing my education. i’d watch several films from the same director in one week and really become acquainted with their style, or the same actor, or i paid attention to the lighting or the writing or the wardrobe. to say the least, doing this list was one of the most enjoyable, most educational, and most time consuming projects of my life.
- favourite films from the list : the talented mr. ripley, some like it hot, an affair to remember
- personal preference : kill bill 1 
- casablanca took me 4 times to watch to either stay awake or understand.
- great lighting : 8 ½
yes yes, and so i’ve begun to compile a second film bucket list. who knows when it will happen (probably not in paris) but i will be sure to let you know when it does. i hope you’ve taken away some recommendations!
