costuming 10/10, plus marilyn, music, and surprisingly progressive undertones. honestly a cultural touchstone in so many ways (i also recommend some like it hot, not in color but still very good)
I had a cold this week but after watching Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (on the Criterion Channel) it was gone. Marilyn Monroe is a comic genius and Jane Russell is a fucking legend. A film about besties being drop-dead flawless and bringing out the best in each other, getting over and getting theirs. It is pure cinema.
This is the year of perspective to me and I think this book is an interesting one! ICL Miss Hurston lost me a little bit with the Jody witch doctor thing but now thats hes π I kinda see where shes going.
