i re-watched stealing beauty last night, starring liv tyler as a curious 19-year-old spending the summer in tuscany with a group of bohemian family friends. the setting of the film--a tuscan villa engulfed in olive trees, is magnificent, as is liv's super 90s wardrobe of floral skirts and babydoll dresses.
i was reminded of how i used to adore this song while watching the film: portishead - glory box
also, check out the following clip. it's from a random dance scene that occurs at a climactic party towards the end of the film. this choreography erupts unexpectedly--it reminds me of twyla tharp's choreography for the opening number in the film version of hair.
so much of what you are posting has been in my sariuniverse lately!
ReplyDeletei watched this again a few weeks ago, so beautiful, and bizarre, and frightening. i still haven't really wrapped my head around that dance sequence..
