A Patch of Blue: When one sees with the Heart

The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Jul 18, 2016

Is there some actors or actresses that you loved all their films you’ve seen so far? Sidney Poitier is, for me, one of them. I haven’t seen all his films yet, only Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner? A Patch of Blue, In the Heat of the Night, The Defiant Ones, Edge of the City and Bla read more

The Strangeness of Rich and Strange

The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Jul 10, 2016

Yes, Rich and Strange (or East of Shanghai in its American title) was very different from the other “typical” Hitchcock’s films. It’s not often cited as a favourite and it tends to be a bit forgotten nowadays. I want, today, to give a new fresh breath of air to this overlook read more

When Joan was a Countess: The Emperor Waltz

The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Jun 4, 2016

As a little girl, I wanted to be a princess and be married to a policeman (a policeman, not a prince). That would have been the ideal life for me. But, of course, I grew up and made wiser decisions. Because being a princess doesn’t only involve wearing beautiful dresses and being rich, but al read more

The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on May 17, 2016

The Magnificent Joseph Cotten

The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on May 15, 2016

Joseph Cotten with an “E”. Today, that man (and highly underrated actor) would have been 111 years old. As he is a favourite of mine, it’s my duty to honour him on this day. Joseph Cotten, born on May 15th, 1905, started his acting career on Broadway, but this one really started w read more

When Marlon Brando Stopped Walking: The Men (1950)

The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on May 13, 2016

War is hell. We all agree on that. But the real hell doesn’t only happen during the conflict, but also when this one is over. Cities are destroyed, have to be rebuilt, countries are poor, families have lost relatives, and, the soldiers that are still alive are, for the most, mentally affected and read more
