Audrey Hepburn - Moon River

Opening Credits of Blake Edward’s classic 1961 film adaptation of Truman Capote’s “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.” Starring Audrey Hepburn and scored by Henry Mancini’s beautiful “Moon River.”

A FRIENDLY REMINDER!

Seal’s 1995 smash-hit “Kiss From a Rose” is basically an “homage” to the pre-Baroque folk “Romanesca” (examples here and here) … pulverized into the wretched shape of a sentimental pop ballad.

Further, the lyrics seem to directly appropriate and combine two of Shakespeare’s most famous piece of prose - “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? (Sonnet 18) and “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet” (Romeo & Juliet). 

Lastly, the song owes its success to playing during the credits of Batman Forever - a schlocky morality play depicting a cadre of men in tights who quarrel. Also a car drive-flies up the side of a building and Jim Carey wears a tiara. 

THIS HAS BEEN A FRIENDLY REMINDER!

Dargaud’s “Siegfried”

Man… We live in a world of multiple Twilight films. How did this never get made?

this is AMAZING!

Woah!

Beautiful. For some reason after watching this I now have the urge to watch Akira Kurosawa’s Dreams.

I kicked off a dance resurgence in my life last night watching Pina. Thanks for providing the next jumping on point, tumblr friends.

A strange and powerful current is running through my body.

It feels foreign now but I can trace the imprint of its shape wrapped around my deep and buried child heart.
