breathless

it's the 50th anniversary of breathless! 

i can not wait to see the restoration. if you're in new york, it opens today at the film forum and if you're in los angeles, you can see it at laemmle's.

i'm a little heartbroken about this, because i kinda wanted to do it myself, but i just heard that the rodarte sisters are making limited edition tees to celebrate the anniversary, including a replica of jean seberg's "new york herald tribune" tee. i think i'm going to need one.  let's hope they aren't too expensive.

When I fell in love with Anna Karina...

So, in continuing the Every Little Counts anniversary themes (the company, not the blog), we thought we'd share with you this scene from one of our favorite movies, like, ever. Jean-Luc Godard's Band A Part (Band of Outsiders) is pretty well known to fans of French New Wave film, 60's style or Anna Karina, so we won't bore you with the details. This dance is called the Madison, we think, and we would like to say: it is, like, impossible to do! That cross the leg/snap the finger/swing the arm part - always gets away from us...

Don't you wish you could spend all day watching movies?

(Oh, and if you didn't already see the new Spring '10 collection, "A Girl in Love"...check it out here and look for Anna Karina)
