  1. Very different films. It’s exciting to compare all the works of such an artist although I know from my own experience how little power such persons and advisers have if the producer or director just doesn’t like the idea of authentic costumes… By the way these are a lot of very nice photos.

    1. Yeah, Grace, I was going to comment on oh-so yummy Ulliel. Kendra cringed at the sight of Gerard Depardieu in To the Ends of the World but didn’t acknowledge the (perhaps much more pleasing) aspect of Ulliel! :)

      Memoir of War looks JUST LIKE one of Theirry’s other films, For A Woman. The book upon which Memoir of War is based is just so painful because it’s true. I don’t know if I’ll be able to get through the movie because Mauguerite Duras’s book, which I did not read under the title Memoir of War still haunts me. Why do we usually get such crap translations in English of foreign movie titles (and bad English-language movie posters, too)?!?! But I digress…for as much as I love French film, I haven’t seen any of these even though they are chock-full of actors whom I admire. Thanks for this post. ALL of these costumes look beautiful and well-made!

  2. Of these I have only seen The Last Mistress, but I adore that movie. Everything about that movie is so beautiful, but all of these look amazing.

  3. Paris Police 1999 was just shown on TV in Britain, and it’s very good but extremely dark – it definitely isn’t a cosy nostalgic cop show, but goes deep into the corruption, political extremism, street violence and extreme anti-Semitism of 1900-ish France. (It’s actually set in 1899, at a point when the Dreyfus Affair brought the country close to civil war between far-right-wingers and democrats.)
