Army of Shadows (1969) french movie directed by Jean-Pierre Melville plot : France, 1942, during the occupation. Philippe Gerbier, a civil engineer, is one of the French Resistance's chiefs. Given away by a traitor, he is interned in a camp. He manages to escape, and joins his network at Marseilles, where he makes the traitor be executed... This non-spectacular movie (do not expect any Rambo or Robin Hood) shows us rigorously and austerely the everyday of the French Resistants : their solitude, their fears, their relationships, the arrests, the forwarding of orders and their carrying out...

n°21 : The Abbey Sainte Foy de Conques - Abbé Odolric Conques, France XI century Built in 1050, the Abbey is one of the foremost pilgrim churches of the Christian world.

n°19 : The House of Jean Prouvé - Jean Prouvé Nancy, France 1954 In 1953 French designer Jean Prouvé built "his" house whilst going through his worst life-crisis. Designed in haste, it embodies his most innovative ideas. n°20 : The Sendaï Media Center - Toyo Ito Sendai, Japan 2001 A glass cube built in Japan by Toyo Ito, the library provides an example of immaterial and evanescent architecture.

XVIII century The visionary architect Claude Nicolas Ledoux, one of the earliest exponents of French Neoclassical design, built a monumental factory for the king of France at the end of the 18th century.

His response is an architecture of absence. n°12 : The Opera Garnier - Charles Garnier Paris, France 1875 This is Paris's most prestigious 19th century building, the pinnacle of the "Beaux Arts" style with its ornamented facade, transfigured by the excesses of a theatre-mad architect in the mid-1800s.

n°9 : Satolas TGV - Santiago Calatrava Colombier-Saugnieu, France 1994 An astonishing concrete and steel structure designed for an open field in the Lyon countryside. An astonishing feat undertaken by Calatrava, which sees trains race through at speeds of 190mph. n°10 : The Thermae of Stone - Peter Zumthor Vals, Switzerland 1996 The Spa of Vals-les-Bains, designed by Peter Zumthor, redefines the very concept of public bathing, a mise en scène of water in all its aspects.

An architectural utopia that pokes fun at the truisms of council housing.

french serie of documentaries (but here in english) i started to watch and who's really good n°1 : The Dessau Bauhaus - Walter Gropius Dessau, Germany 1925 Walter Gropius' main achievement is the buildings of the Bauhaus, built in 1926. His pioneering architecture saw the birth of one of the most innovative schools of art of the 20th century. n°2 : Porto School of Architecture - Alvaro Siza Porto, Portugal 1993 The Portuguese architect Alvaro Siza built Porto's Faculty of Architecture, a mediation on space and light in a futuristic "agora".

maybe Stand By Me directed by Rob Reiner from Stephen King's novel. i read the book there is long time ago and i saw the movie the last month so maybe i'm not really objective about it but i think the movie this time is maybe superior to the book. shining is pretty good too but that's all. all the other stephen King's book are better than the movies. Same about Philip K Dick. the lord of the ring. extended version of peter jackson (10h30 of movie instead of 9) are as good as the books. The Pianist of Roman Polanski. the book is fabulous and even this is an autobiography in fact i prefered the movie who's more "romanced" and adrian brody is fabulous and i deeply love the architecture, people's outfits etc even if as usually everybody have new and perfect clothes, the streets are always clean... the movie is wonderful maybe also Carabet who's amazing and adapted from the book Goodbye to Berlin. Freaks of Tod Browning, really better than the novel Spurs from what i heard The Holy Mountain who's better than the book Mount Analogue. Brazil inspirated by 1984 and as good as the book and The Fly who remind me and certainly be infuenced by the novel The Metarmorphosis who's not bad but doesn't really interested me and i stopped at the half. should read the other part one day when i will be decided...

Pretty Baby (1978) american movie directed by Louis Malle plot : In 1917, during the last months of legal prostitution in Storyville, the red-light district of New Orleans, Louisiana, Hattie is a prostitute working at an elegant brothel run by the elderly, cocaine-sniffing Madame Nell. Hattie has a 12-year-old daughter, Violet, who also lives at the house, and has just given birth to a baby boy. When photographer Ernest J. Bellocq comes by with his camera, Hattie and Violet are the only ones awake. He asks to be allowed to take photographs of the women. Madame Nell only agrees after he offers to pay. Bellocq becomes a fixture in the brothel, taking many photographs of the prostitutes, mostly of Hattie. His activities fascinate Violet, though she believes he is falling in love with her mother, which makes her jealous. Violet is also a restless child, and frustrated by the long, precise process Bellocq must go through to pose and take his pictures. Nell decides that Violet is old enough for her virginity to be auctioned off. After a bidding war between regulars, Violet is bought by an apparently quiet customer, but this first sexual experience is unpleasant. Hattie, meanwhile, aspires to escape prostitution. She marries one of her customers and goes to St. Louis without her daughter, whom her husband believes to be her sister. Hattie promises to return for Violet once she’s settled and broken the news to her new spouse. Violet runs away from the brothel in a fit of temper after being punished for some hijinks, showing up on Bellocq’s doorstep. The two become lovers, although Violet still needs a great deal of attention and is frustrated by Bellocq’s devotion to his work. For his part, the (perhaps asexual) older man is entranced by Violet’s beauty, youth, and photogenic face. Violet eventually returns to Nell’s after quarreling with Bellocq, but social reform groups are forcing the brothels of Storyville to close. Bellocq arrives to wed Violet, ostensibly to protect her from the larger world. Immediately following the wedding, Hattie and her husband arrive from St. Louis. They claim that Violet’s marriage is illegal without their consent and plan to take her back with them. Violet would like her husband to come with her, but he lets her go, realizing a more conventional life, and schooling, will benefit her more. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6OfO0ySYho

this thread and the one about magazine should be moved to the fashion photography section because this kind of stuff are made by professional fashion photographers. by the way the idea is not bad but post 2 or 3 times on the forum the same stuff (on models and photographers' threads) is not really useful and just make the things messy. but this is just my opinion. and the forum really should create a new section about fashion...
