One Dress a Day Challenge

Black and White October

The Innocent (L'Innocente) / Jennifer O'Neil as Teresa Raffo

This film has quite a few really nice black-and-white outfits. This one is an evening dress with a dotted net layer over an ivory base that looks like satin. The black "V" effects in front and back, plus the black gloves and ribbon at her neck, create a dramatic contrast. The shoulders are decorated with little bows and sprays of silver berries. All in all, it's extremely chic and appropriate for a character who's supposed to be the toast of the town.

This diamond brooch was first spotted adorning the hat of Charlotte Rampling as Elisabeth Thallman in the 1969 film The Damned. It appeared again on the hat of Romy Schneider as Elisabeth of Austria in the 1973 film Ludwig.

Both films were costumed by Piero Tosi and directed by Luchino Visconti. Jean Philie speculated that perhaps the piece was a part of Tosi’s personal collection or that it may have belonged to Visconti’s mother.

Piero Tosi costume for Pasolini's Medea

[lamarchesacasati]

1971 Cecil Beaton, Marisa Berenson in a Paul Poiret dress as the Marchesa Luisa Casati for The Proust Ball at the Rothschild family’s opulent Château de Ferrières in France, December 1971.  

Tribute to Marchesa Luisa Casati.

Marisa Berenson went as Marchesa Luisa Casati to The Proust Ball—the idea of costume designer Piero Tosi, with whom Berenson had just worked on the film Death in Venice. “You are not going to go like all those other women,” he proclaimed, instead dressing her in a Paul Poiret dress adorned with jeweled snakes, a curled red wig, black lipstick, and a black tiara. "When I walked in, nobody recognized me,” she says. “I had so much fun because I was totally sticking out from everybody else.  

The Proust Ball (Bal Proust), 1971.

The Proust Ball, thrown in honor of the 100th anniversary of Marcel Proust’s birth in 1971, might be considered Marie-Helene de Rothschild’s greatest triumph. Around 350 guests attended the extremely rich dinner at her home outside of Paris, the Château de Ferrières, with 350 or so more arriving in time for a second, later dinner. Among the guests were Audrey Hepburn, Princess Grace of Monaco, Elizabeth Taylor, and Richard Burton, while Cecil Beaton was the night’s photographer. French model and actress Marisa Berenson remembers the night, saying, “As soon as you arrived at Ferrières it was like going back in time, but more luxuriously with highly refined taste… . The women wore dresses, bodices, big headdresses, tiaras, lots of jewelry. It was truly the era of Proust.” (x)

Black and White October

The Innocent (L'Innocente) / Laura Antonelli as Giuliana Hermil

Another amazing dress from L'Innocente, and this one is (if possible) even more spectacular than the other one. I really couldn't choose which one I liked better, so I decided to just post both of them! Note that she wears the same horseshoe-shaped pin at the neck with both outfits.

The white outline around the lapels of the jacket gives it an elegant but playful sort of effect like a hand-drawn illustration. The large, scattered paisley designs on the dress are very striking, and I like the sheen of the fabric (is it silk?). The pink rose is a lovely touch of softness and color.

Dirk Bogarde in Death in Venice (Luchino Visconti, 1971)

Cast: Dirk Bogard, Björn Andrésen, Marisa Berenson, Mark Burns, Silvana Mangano, Romolo Valli, Nora Ricci, Leslie French, Franco Fabrizi. Screenplay: Luchino Visconti, Nicola Badalucco, based on a novel by Thomas Mann. Cinematography: Pasqualino De Santis. Art direction: Ferdinando Scarfiotti. Film editing: Ruggero Mastroianni. 

I have nothing against slowness in movies if it leads to a satisfactorily immersive experience, but Death in Venice is just languorous, taking its own weary way toward the conclusion promised in the film's title. Watching it patiently has some rewards: Dirk Bogarde's fine performance as Gustave von Aschenbach; the sometimes opulent, sometimes melancholy views of Venice provided by Pasqualino De Santis's cinematography; the handsome sets by Ferdinando Scarfiotti and costumes by Piero Tosi; loving glimpses of Silvana Mangano as Tadzio's mother; and great gulps of Mahler's third and fifth symphonies on the soundtrack. But the screenplay by Visconti and Nicola Badalucco carries no intellectual or emotional weight. Thomas Mann's novella is meant to be savored and reflected upon, but film inevitably carries us along with our expectations of action, and there is little enough of it going on anywhere but in Aschenbach's head to provide Visconti with something to shoot. He resorts to flashbacks: to the illness that causes Aschenbach to take his fatal trip, to the happy days of Aschenbach's marriage (Marisa Berenson plays his wife) and the devastating death of their child, to a visit to a prostitute who plays Beethoven's Für Elise on the piano, to the storm of cheers and boos at the performance of Aschenbach's composition (actually an excerpt from the Mahler third symphony) and an argument with a friend (Mark Burns) about his music. The beautiful young Tadzio (Björn Andrésen) clearly represents something that has been lost from (or never present in) Aschenbach's life, But Visconti never makes Aschenbach's obsession with Tadzio either psychologically or thematically convincing. In the end we're left with little more than Aschenbach as the aging gay man doomed to a lonely death -- a too-familiar trope.
