I enjoyed that as well, and thanks for sharing that he also did THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR. Very interesting. You're quite right that they have a similar mood to them and those relationships.<br /><br />And thanks for sharing that commercial--I can't believe that they simply used footage from LA PISCINE itself for the ad! It's certainly also inspired the styling of photo/film shoots for other ones.<br /><br />Great to hear from you and hope you're enjoying the summer, too! :)Kimberly Truhlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07568754070267220809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959252133628799060.post-15965726257102004572013-07-25T16:57:03.027-07:002013-07-25T16:57:03.027-07:00Thanks Christian!

Their song has been used in countless places, likely without people even really knowing it's them. And Romy I just adore now. Plan on watching more films with her, starting with the others with Alain Delon. Great to hear from you...miss you!Kimberly Truhlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07568754070267220809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959252133628799060.post-24579052070544149532013-07-25T11:43:10.634-07:002013-07-25T11:43:10.634-07:00Hi Kimberly!

I watched it last year when it popped up in my "Recommended for You" list on Netflix and found it so mesmerizing. It's very sexy and dark, and I loved the evocative music by Michel Legrand, who also wrote the music for the original "Thomas Crown Affair".<br /><br />Best of all was the style of it - loads of Riviera chic! I can see why it continues to be an inspiration for fashion designers and advertisers. Dior used the movie for <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_958fa8Gitg" rel="nofollow">some recent commercials</a>, as a matter of fact. Just goes to show, nothing they come up with today outshines the glamour of classic movies!<br /><br />Hope you're doing well and enjoying the summer. :)<br /><br />MelissaMelissa Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09867200392531626189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959252133628799060.post-20409358552923788862013-07-24T16:07:34.698-07:002013-07-24T16:07:34.698-07:00Kimberly - thanks for highlighting this film and R...Kimberly - thanks for highlighting this film and Romy Schneider. She was much loved in France and mourned at her early death. She made a great match with Alain Delon - on and off the screen. Jane Birkin was fun too, the muse for Serge Gainsbourg and their provocative song "Je t'aime,"<br />the melody of which always comes readily to mind.Christian Esquevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04442827724576856379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959252133628799060.post-75263526737517893762013-07-23T16:56:53.369-07:002013-07-23T16:56:53.369-07:00Thanks Kay!

I mean, the style is so aligned with my own. I love its minimalism, right down to the edited accessories for a sportier look and the bronzed beachy makeup. So good. Can't wait to watch it again!Kimberly Truhlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07568754070267220809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959252133628799060.post-77385312191955859412013-07-23T16:42:20.060-07:002013-07-23T16:42:20.060-07:00I can't believe I've never seen this film!...I can't believe I've never seen this film!!

And what a coincidence indeed......Thanks Patricia! And what a coincidence indeed...isn't that funny? Great minds clearly think alike. I've been going through a French film revival at my home lately, which has conveniently been supplemented by TCM as well (e.g. Truffaut Fridays). You've now whet my appetite to see the earlier works of Romy and Alain as well.<br /><br />I forgot that Romy was in WHAT'S NEW, PUSSYCAT! How funny. I'll have to check that out again, too.<br /><br />You will love LA PISCINE. It is sexy. I'm going to watch it again soon. Let me know what you think when you do. :)Kimberly Truhlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07568754070267220809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959252133628799060.post-18584515194844724802013-07-22T18:01:18.479-07:002013-07-22T18:01:18.479-07:00What a nice coincidence - I’ve been revisiting Rom...What a nice coincidence - I’ve been revisiting Romy Schneider and Alain Delon onscreen lately. Notably - “Purple Noon/Plein soleil” (1960) in which he starred and she had a cameo, “Le combat dans l’ile” (1962) in which Romy starred with Jean-Louis Trintignant. <br /><br />My first glimpse of Romy came with 1965’s “What’s New, Pussycat?” that star-studded (Peter O’Toole, Peter Sellers, Woody Allen, Romy, Capucine, Ursula Andress - and a Richard Burton cameo) Swingin’ ‘60s romp. Have loved her ever since.<br /><br />I haven’t seen “La Piscine,” but will now. Passion (and fashion) poolside on the sunny Riviera with Romy, Alain and Jane Birkin + Courreges…sounds like a delicious diversion for a summer afternoon. Thank you, Kimberly!<br />The Lady Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963115499930520653noreply@blogger.com
