The Saint: The Better Mousetrap (5.9, ITC, 1966)

"Our lamented fallen friend was trying to frame me. It's a habit with some people, trying to bait a trap with an unusual kind of cheese."

"What kind?"

"Me."

 “Reclining Nude”, 1972, by Marevna (Marie Bronislava Vorobieff-Stebelska) (Russian painter, 1892-1984).

   ~ Marevna was born Marie Vorobieff-Stebelska in 1892 in Cheboksary, Russia. Her mother was an actress and her father a Polish nobleman. She spent a lonely childhood in Tiflis, the capital of Georgia, which was under Russian control.The name Marevna was given to her after a Russian fairy sea princess by Maxim Gorki, a Russian author and political activist whom she met in Italy, and this then became her signature.An audacious yet charming and high spirited character, Marevna travelled Europe extensively and was one of the first women to discover Cubism, achieving remarkable blends of pointillism and structure in her work. Marevna was initially a portraitist but embraced cubism, partially due to the influences of her relationship with the world famous Mexican painter/muralist Diego Rivera. Marevna entered the Moscow Stroganov Art Academy in 1910 and the following year went to Italy. In 1912 she went on to enter Paris and make a dramatic entry into the artistic community of La Ruche and live through the anti-cubist feelings of the First World War. Marevnas first significant exhibition was in 1912 at The Tuileries in France. Marevna went on to write her book Life with the Painters of La Ruche about her life during this period with the likes of Picasso, Braque, Matisse, Soutine and Rivera to mention but a few. Marevna met Diego Rivera in 1915 when he temporarily became part of La Ruche. Although Rivera was still in a common-law marriage with Russian artist Angelina Beloff, he and Marevna had a daughter called Marika (1919 - 2010) and they continued to experienced a stormy and complicated relationship until he returned home in 1921. Marevna spent her mature years residing with her daughter Marika in England and lived at Athelhampton House from 1948 to 1956. Marevna continued to paint throughout this period and her work during this time include a portrait of son-in-law Rodney Phillips and the world famous pyramid topiaries of Athelhampton’s Great Court. Some of her work is now displayed in Athelhamptons West Wing Gallery. ~

Fellini’s Casanova screencaps!!

In these dull days of confinement, I hope I will deilght your mood a little with the colourful screencaps of Fellini’s Casanova :D

Fellini’s Casanova (Il Casanova di Federico Fellini) is a 1976 Italian film by director Federico Fellini, adapted from the autobiography of Giacomo Casanova, the 18th-century adventurer and writer.

Shot entirely at the Cinecittà studios in Rome, the film won an Academy Award for Best Costume Design, with the Oscar going to Danilo Donati.

The film portrays Casanova’s life as a journey into trivial sexual abandonment. Any meaningful emotion or sensuality is eclipsed by increasingly strange situations. The narrative presents Casanova’s adventures in a detached, methodical fashion, as the respect for which he yearns is constantly undermined by his more basic urges.

Plot (it may contain spoilers)

The film opens with a carnival in Venice as a prelude to a series of erotic encounters that follow Giacomo Casanova through the cities of 18th-century Europe. The organizers of the festival attempt to raise a gigantic bust from the water; this fails, which is taken as a bad omen. Casanova is then introduced, as he visits one of Venice’s islands to copulate with a fake nun for the pleasure of a rich voyeur; Casanova succeeds in entertaining him, but is frustrated that the man finds no interest in his research into alchemy and his further scheming. As he rows back to the mainland, Casanova is arrested, judged and imprisoned by the High Court over his famed debauchery.

During his time in prison, Casanova reminisces of his affairs with a dressmaker and later on with one of her junior employees, Anna Maria, who suffers from frequent fainting and requires constant bloodletting. He eventually consummates his desire for Anna Maria. Back in prison, Casanova escapes through the roof and exiles himself from Venice, being taken into the Paris court of Madame d'Urfé. The Madame, an aged woman, enthralled by Casanova’s apparent knowledge of alchemy, wishes to transform her soul into a man’s through ritualistic intercourse with him (an act that requires the presence of a younger woman in the room, so that Casanova can get aroused). Fortuitously, Casanova encounters his brother, whose girlfriend he entices away. Casanova then moves to the court of a hunchback, Du Bois, in between taking charge of a beautiful girl—"the love of [his] life"—Henriette. Du Bois puts on a homosexual theatrical performance for his guests that unsettles some of them; Casanova is brought to tears as Henriette plays some music. The lovers vow fidelity to each other, but the following morning Henriette has disappeared. Du Bois informs Casanova that an emissary of a far-away court has reclaimed Henriette, and she’s left a request that Casanova not attempt to follow her.

While in London, Casanova is robbed by two women and he attempts suicide by drowning himself in the Thames. A vision of a giantess and two dwarves distracts him; he follows them to a frost fair, where he arm-wrestles the giantess—a princess—and later pays to watch her bathe with the dwarves. Casanova resumes his travelling the following day. He attends a deranged party at Lord Talou’s palace in Rome, where he wins a bet with a stagecoach driver, Righetto, over how many orgasms he can have in one hour. The competition brings him higher acclaim. In Switzerland he falls in love with an alchemist’s daughter, Isabella, who fails to keep an appointment to go to Dresden with him; Casanova instead partakes in an orgy within the hostel he’s been stranded in. In Dresden, he has a brief chance encounter with his estranged mother in a theater. He then moves to a court in Württemberg, where his desire to be taken seriously as a writer/inventor is frustrated by the court’s orgiastic, wild nature. It is here that he meets Rosalba, a mechanical doll with whom he shares a dance and later on goes to bed with.

Time goes by and an old Casanova finds himself librarian to Count Waldstein at his castle in Dux. Life at the castle is more than frustrating for Casanova, as he is made to eat with other servants and does not get the respect nor the food he claims to deserve. Waldstein’s manservant, Faulkircher, and his lover Vidarol, make him an object of mockery and animosity. A portrait of him is hanged and defecated on. Later on, during a fervent poetry recital, a court member fails to suppress a giggle at Casanova, who, humiliated and disappointed, goes back up to his room. The final scene has a weary, bloodshot Casanova cringing in an armchair and recounting a recent dream. In this dream, Casanova is back in Venice. He catches a glimpse of the giant bust seen in the beginning of the film, buried under thick layers of ice in the lagoon. He chases the ghosts of his past lovers, all of whom disappear. An ornate stagecoach beckons him to join its passengers. He finally meets with Rosalba, the mechanical doll, once again. They quietly dance with each other.

Diego Rivera

Diego Rivera (1886–1957) was the husband of Mexican Surrealist painter Frida Kahlo, who he met through their membership in the Mexican Communist Party. He'd previously been married to Russian painter Angelina Beloff and novelist Guadalupe Marín. He's depicted in Kahlo's 1931 painting Frieda and Diego Rivera, based on a photograph from their wedding. He was part of a circle of influential artists that included painters like Jeanne Hébuterne and her common-law husband Amedeo Modigliani. His primary medium was political murals inspired by a combination of traditional Mexican and modern painting styles. In his 1928 mural En el Arsenal, Kahlo can be seen handing out munitions. Rivera was the father of four children including architect Ruth Rivera Marín and actress Marika Rivera.
