Beautiful Film

I watched Stanley Kubrick's Barry Lyndon again recently.  The film is based on Thackeray's novel and it really must be one of the most visually stunning films ever made.  Every scene is like an 18th century painting and Marisa Berenson is so luminescently beautiful as Lady Lyndon.  The lighting, set design and costumes are all a feast for the eyes not to mention the score.  Has anyone seen this film and love it as much as I do?

Steven Meisel v Wong Kar Wai

In the Mood for Love would have to be one of my favourite films having been a fan of director Wong Kar Wai's work for a very long time.  Iconic Hong Kong actors Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung are both so beautiful in this film not to mention the set design, interiors, Christopher Doyle's stunning cinematography and of course the gorgeous array of cheongsam worn by Maggie throughout. Hence I love this Vogue fashion editorial shot by Steven Meisel featuring Amber Valletta inspired by the sumptious look of the film... I wonder what Wong Kar Wai thought...
