I’m quite excited to post my first article for #Noirvember 2020! I’ve decided to kick things off with an essay that I originally wrote for a class on film noir I attended during the last year of my bachelor degree in film studies. The work consisted of analysing the style of film noir director Robert […]

Hello dear readers! A few years ago, I wrote a text for university on the different representations of women in the film noir movement. I thought it would be fun to translate the text (because it was originally written in French) and share it here for #Noirvember! I hope you’ll enjoy it! Warning: Because this […]

The following text has initially been written for a class on film directors I attended at Concordia University. I hope you will appreciate it. It goes without saying that Sir Alfred Hitchcock is still one of the most acclaimed movie directors among contemporary cinephiles. His impressive filmography is often the object of various researches and […]

Oh, Hitchcock, good old Hitchcock. What would be The Wonderful World of Cinema without any discussions about his films? Well, it’s been a long time since we didn’t have one and Maddy’s Third Hitchcock Blogathon that she is hosting on her blog Maddy Loves Her Classic Films seems to be the perfect occasion for that. […]

I realized that I actually never wrote anything about Stanley Kubrick’s work on this blog, which is surprising coming from a cinephile. Well, that is if you don’t count my article on Laurence Olivier’s performance in Spartacus. I was very inspired and proud of this text, but it still was more about Olivier than Kubrick. […]

Friday, I cam back from a one-month trip to England (where I even got the chance to meet the amazing Carol from The Old Hollywood Garden!). While I loved it very much, I must admit I did miss blogging a little. But I’m back! I had a nice surprise as I arrived home: my […]

Yesterday, February 27, marked the birthday of two excellent classic actresses: the glamorous Elizabeth Taylor and the enigmatic Joan Bennett. But this is not the only common point these two ladies share. Indeed, they starred together in today’s birthday boy, Vincente Minnelli’s classics Father of the Bride and its sequel, Father’s Little Dividend as mother […]

“Dream dream, filling up an idle hour Fade away, radiate” – Debbie Harry, Dreaming– I’m one of those persons who are quite fascinated by dreams. From the most ordinary ones to the most extraordinary ones, I saw them in all their colours. When I can remember my dreams, I write them in a little notebook […]

Hitchcock’s films have been analyzed through various subjects. They are recognizable for having common points, both in their narrative and technical aspects. We know Hitchcock liked cool blondes, “wrong men”, murders, stairs, trains, cameos, etc. But a subject that isn’t talked much about is the importance of water in his films. I was thinking about […]

During the whole month of August, TCM has a special event called “Summer Under the Stars”: one day, one star. Movies starring this star are broadcast on the channel from the morning until the night. Unfortunately, I don’t have TCM on my television… but that doesn’t prevent me to participate to the 2016 TCM Summer […]

About two years ago, I wrote an analysis of Hitchcock’s Vertigo for school, got a 96% and was very proud of it. Today, I’ve decided to translate it and publish it on my blog so I could share it with you. Of course, this is only my own interpretation of the film and we […]
