  1. I loved her performance as Gertrude, and the gowns in that film are absolutely stunning. The movie itself is… ok, could def be better, but honestly the costumes makes up for it in my book lmao.

  2. I haven’t seen many of these. So those I have:
    -Dangerous Beauty (I still love it, don’t lecture me): I felt so sorry for her character. She (Giulia, not Naomi) would’ve realistically been 15, maybe 16, and going into an entirely new environment. Yes, she would’ve been raised to expect it, but there’s still a shock, and probably not any kind of sex ed.
    -King Kong: It was fine? Don’t remember much, so clearly didn’t make an impression.
    -Ophelia: Please watch it, if only for the pretties. She does a good job exploring the nuances of Gertrude’s situation, so it isn’t a weird Oedipal thing like in Mel Gibson’s version (ha!).
    -The Outsider: Haven’t seen it, but I DID grow up in Amish country (N Indiana). I think her “Mennonite” makeup is hysterical. At least her hair’s up?

  3. Let’s talk about Hemlines in The Painted Veil: Even in the 20s/30s Hemlines were long! They were short in TPV, due to the heat of China. Wild guessing on my part as I can’t find any press about The Painted Veil costumes online!

  4. Wait that was Clive Owen? I need to see that film, the costumes are pretty amazing and I do love me some Clive…
    I also need to take a look at King Kong, though it would be hard for them to match the original. At least it has some tempting man candy with Jack Black and Adrian Brody.
    I’ve only seen her performance in the Painted Veil but obviously I have more watching to do, especially Timepiece, that looks the most interesting to me.
