Tumblr -- Catherine Deneuve

Oct 16, 2013 23:41

I just spent a couple of enjoyable hours sorting through hundreds of shots on Tumblr of the phenomenal movie star Catherine Deneuve. I've adored her for many years -- falling for her at first in the 1967 Luis Bunuel film, Belle de Jour, but gradually realizing how bizarre and silly that movie truly WAS ( Read more... )

Interesting that you like the Truffaut film with Françoise Dorléac, her sister, better than Catherine's films. (As I was checking out various aspects of her life, I read about Françoise's horrible death in a 1967 traffic accident -- OMG!)

Also interesting that you didn't like Umbrellas of Cherbourg; I saw it back in the 80s, and recall it as romantic...must see it again! As I wrote yesterday, I've come to think of Belle de Jour as sexist crap -- though her erotic fantasies certainly turned me on when I first saw it

Since you and I enjoy cars, I wondered if you'd seen the 1965 shot of her in her Morgan in my reblogs...

I do like the shot you chose, though I don't see it as specially erotic...but that's just me!

Kisses, J

I've been looking at your tumblr site, and the Deneuve photos are really something. Some of my favourites are the early set of pics of her from the 60s where she has brown hair (you compare her to Jane Fonda of the period). Another fave is directly underneath, taken 'not too long ago', where she looks wonderfully vibrant and alive. I do think that she aged extremely well, proving that maturity can bring its own sexiness.

Thanks, Gary! I agree that she has aged well (though there ARE a few recent photos that suggest some Dorian Gray-ing).

But that's uncharitable of me -- better to recall her Indochine period and other mid-career roles.
