The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Jul 19, 2019

If I could name one actress that I found totally intriguing, Joan Bennett’s name would probably at the top of my head. This might be because she is not the most famous or talked about star of the Golden age of Hollywood, so there’s sort of an aura of mystery around her. In the 30s, she read more

More than “just a film”: The Manchurian Candidate (John Frankenheimer, 1962)

The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Jul 5, 2019

John Frankenheimer is one of those movie directors whose films, I feel, are so unique, that I couldn’t compare them with the work of anybody else. He fits, I believe,  in the category of those “authors”. But it’s subtle and you have to look at them with a lot of reflexions. read more

The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Jun 16, 2019

I don’t remember when was the last time I read a book so quickly. Indeed, I read Gene Tierney’s autobiography Self-Portrait in about a week. It’s not very long, 300 pages but small pages. But most of all, I read it quickly due to its greatness. I read the French version, which is read more

From the Stage to the Screen: Hair (Miloš Forman, 1979)

The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Jun 4, 2019

For a movie blogger, I’m conscious that it’s quite surprising that I haven’t written about any films directed by the late Miloš Forman, the Czech movie director who had a brilliant career both in Czech Republic (then Czechoslovakia) and in the United States. Not a long time ago, I read more

Gene vs. Jeanne: Leave Her to Heaven (1945)

The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on May 24, 2019

Visually, John M. Stahl’s Leave Her to Heaven (1945) might be one of the most colourful films noir you’ll ever see in your life, but its narrative line is probably among the darkest ones of the movement. This film taking place with beautiful natural landscapes, instead of notorious neig read more
