Zero Dark Thirty

January 28, 2013

JB and i went to see this movie over the weekend. Django was actually my first choice but JB saw it with a friend when i was in Brussels last weekend. Fair enough.
To say i loved it or enjoyed it doesn't feel right...because of the subject matter. But the acting was top notch (in my humble opinion), i know nothing about film editing yet i feel like it was really well edited, and my goodness was it a tense movie. I thought Argo was tense, but this was waaaaaaaaaaay more tense.
Jessica Chastain is a really good actress. I saw her recently in Lawless (good movie, Tom Hardy is brooding), she was fantastic in The Help and even though The Rachel Singer Affair was quite low key (in Paris at least) i thought she was good in it. Plus, she is representing the pale redheads. Go Jessica.
I now have to watch the Hurt Locker. I think it's highly likely that i'll forget to breathe in that movie. 
Seen any good movies lately?

"Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again". I have been wanting to spend some time with "Rebecca" once more so the wet and windy weather today in Montreuil was just the excuse I needed ☺ I absolutely love this cover design and the fact that Oscar wanted a piece of the action β€πŸ–€ #booksofinstagram #bibliophile #bookworm #rebecca #daphnedumaurier #bookstagram #viragopress #shakespeareandcompany
Change of scene for work today. Snapped on my way to the studio 😍#parisjetaime #thisisparis #mytinyatlas
Are you Paris based and looking to join a book club? Starting September 16, the feminist book club (The FBC) will be meeting every month at Shakespeare and Company in Paris! We read books - written by women from all over the world - that highlight matters of interest to feminists; from work to relationships of all kinds, to prejudice, lack of representation and reproductive rights. If you want to be a part of it I've popped the sign up link in my bio ☺#shakespeareandcompany #bookshopsoftheworld #sylviabeach #bookish

"It seemed threatening now, the empty rooms and dusty spaces sinister, when so recently I had thought it beautiful. I couldn't help but believe it was playing tricks on me, trying to send me mad or drive me away." It's the summer of 1969 in the English countryside (Hampshire) and Frances Jellico's life is about to change forever. A socially awkward individual, she is invited  to survey the gardens of a crumbling mansion, recently purchased by an American businessman. It is here where she meets glamorous couple, Cara and Peter, but the cracks in their idyllic romance soon start to appear. A wonderfully atmospheric novel from @writerclairefuller, which you'll particularly enjoy if you're a fan of Rebecca or The Little Stranger.

Throwing it back to beautiful Cascais last week. Because I doubt that you want to see all the unpacked boxes hanging around our new house 😬 (Link in profile for a new post on the past 5 years in Montreuil @lou_in_paris) #portugal #movinghouse #home
