Prepare to be “Unmasked” with this next update for “Beautiful Creature of Darkness” 🌹🖤

Saurondriel|Rating E|37k

And a little soundtrack to go along with a dancing scene, because I enjoy titillating all my readers’ senses

From Chapter 25….

Celebrimbor chuckled, turning to follow his sight line into the winding crowd. Those pupils moved to and fro, following one lithe She-elf, crowned in leaves of victory and smiling across her unmasked face. “Annatar,” he teased softly, “I promise you, she won’t bite. My cousin certainly will give you a merry chase around the floor.”

“I’m not certain you can promise me my safety, Celebrimbor,” a smirk tugging at his mouth. “But a merry chase might just help pass the time until you present the king with his much needed weapon…”

“We present it to him, friend,” Celebrimbor turned an earnest look up at the tall emissary. “You’ve earned yourself more than a dance with the fair Princess, what with solving the mystery of a metal lost to the First Age with the fall of Gondolin.”

Annatar’s neck stretched, his mind obviously working furiously to assess his choices. His chances of being unmasked.

“Perhaps you are right in this matter,” he gave a dry, staccato chuckle.

“You may be the expert of the forge, but I can tell you Galadriel will show you a good time,” Celebrimbor fairly pushed him into the floor of swirling gowns and turning masks.

Sauron laughed to himself at the irony; if only one among them knew of just the good times he had already taken with the warrior queen of his heart. Or if they knew of how many times she would be taken, yet. A smirk across his thin lips, he stood straight, beginning to approach the dance floor just as the music began to slow and cadence. The corner of his eyes caught one long, hard and enraged glare—silver eyes beneath a silver mask.

Perhaps this would be more of a good time than even Celebrimbor could predict. He turned to look at Celeborn with a full grin before gliding into the circle of dancing guests. Steps wove and skipped, always graceful and flowing in that traditional elvish way. His arms wrapped around the back of some female, swinging around slowly. He could feel her gaze on the back of head, but his sights were trained only on one female, her mussed golden locks pinned loosely now, held down barely by her shining diadem of leaves. The moment Galadriel felt his gaze, she turned, that light of lust and devotion burning bright in her bright blue eyes.

A smile fluttered over her lips, knowing the next pass would land her right in his arms. One more turn, one more reach of her arms and then…

“Galadriel,” Celeborn’s voice sliced through her growing warmth, immediately chilling the need that festered in her body, that screamed to be satisfied. Her hand was crushed in a grip, her feet trapped by the flowing lengths of her gown as she was removed from the circle. “I’m sorry for our last exchange,” he pleaded, his eyes narrowing with regret. The perfect penitent picture. “I just couldn’t let you continue to think of me as controlling and scarred as your brother.”

“Then cease to be so,” she ordered, ripping her hand from his hold and adjusting her skirts, barely hiding her temper.

“I will,” he bent down to meet her eyes, “I am.”

“We shall see,” she sneered, turning as if to return to the dance floor, but that extraordinarily tall emissary had… disappeared. Heart sinking to her toes, she scanned every corner, only stopping once her eyes locked with Celeborn’s darkly amused smirk.

“Enjoy your dancing,” he smiled his most princely grin. “I will be nearby, should you change your mind and want a partner to guide your steps.” Then he bowed that silvery head of his and retreated into the crowd…

Colin Firth and Joseph Fiennes in Shakespeare in Love (John Madden, 1998) Cast: Joseph Fiennes, Gwyneth Paltrow, Geoffrey Rush, Tom Wilkinson. Colin Firth, Simon Callow, Judi Dench, Imelda Staunton, Ben Affleck, Martin Clunes, Rupert Everett, Jim Carter, Joe Roberts. Screenplay: Marc Norman, Tom Stoppard. Cinematography: Richard Greatrex. Production design: Martin Childs. Film editing: David Gamble. Costume design: Sandy Powell. Music: Stephen Warbeck. Posterity is a bitch. Winning a best picture Oscar doesn't necessarily fix a film permanently in the hearts and minds of moviegoers or film historians. Almost overnight, the tide began to turn against John Madden's Shakespeare in Love, in large part because it was a surprise winner over the presumed front-runner, Steven Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan. As time has passed, Gwyneth Paltrow's best actress win for Shakespeare in Love has been questioned, too, partly because Paltrow's subsequent acting career has done nothing to maintain her reputation, and her dabbling in fields such as country music, fashion, and off-beat New Age medicine and diet has made her look like a giddy dilettante. Even the fall of Harvey Weinstein cast a dark shadow over Shakespeare in Love, which he helped produce for his company, Miramax, and for which he managed an extensive Oscar campaign. But when I watch the film again, I find myself caught up in its witty imagining of Shakespeare's life and milieu, the sexiness of its romantic intrigue, and yes, Paltrow's skillful performance of what is essentially four roles: Viola De Lesseps, Thomas Kent, and both Romeo and Juliet. It's a charming tour de force that makes me wonder what brought it out of her and what subsequently made her crash and burn. Much of the success of the film, however, lies not in its uniformly good performances or in John Madden's direction, but in the Oscar-winning screenplay by Marc Norman and Tom Stoppard. I suspect the latter, who had already demonstrated his intimate knowledge of Shakespeare in the play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, is most responsible for a screenplay that can attract the casual moviegoer and entertain English majors at the same time. Some of its jokes go over a lot of the audience's heads, such as the revelation that the bloodthirsty, sadistic street urchin (Joe Roberts) who hangs around the playhouse is named John Webster. The character is just the right age to grow up to write those hair-raising Jacobean plays The Duchess of Malfi (1612) and The White Devil (1614), but not knowing that doesn't matter much to the success of the film. Shakespeare in Love is never, as its central character would put it, "caviar to the general." Is it a better film than Saving Private Ryan? Or is it just the temporary beneficiary of aggressive promotion? That bitch posterity will be the final judge.

Prime reazioni al film scelto per aprire la 76 edizione del Festival di Cannes, #JeanneduBarry della divisiva regista francese #Maïwenn (Polisse, My King). Uno sfarzoso film in costume alla perenne ricerca della sua anima in cui Luigi XV (Johnny Depp) secondo Peter Bradshaw del The Guardian, appare come una candela umana che sta iniziando a sciogliersi.

TRAMA: La vita e l'ascesa di Jeanne Du Barry che nacque come figlia illegittima di una sarta povera nel 1743 e passò alla corte di Luigi XV fino a diventare la sua ultima amante ufficiale.

"Maïwenn aspira ad offrire una visione provocatoria di tutto ciò che è regale, anche se appare lontanissima dal recente "Liberté" di Albert Serra. Provoca, ma non scandalizza. Sebbene il film biografico si concentri principalmente sul capitolo della vita di Jeanne trascorso con Louis, non riduce il personaggio del titolo ad essere solo uno delle sue tante amanti. Semmai, il re viene presentato come la sua conquista. Maïwenn non è una regista che fugge dal confronto: dalla critica istituzionale di "Polisse" al suo ritratto pre-#MeToo di una relazione violenta in "My King", i suoi film sono destinati a dividere. Anche qui osserva i rituali del re da dietro uno specchio unidirezionale, riflettendo sui limiti del potere di una donna in una società maschilista"

(Peter Debruge, Variety)

"I film di Maïwenn, come la stessa Maïwenn, tendono a creare divisioni. Quando sono belli, come nel secondo lungometraggio Polisse, sono pieni di esibizioni d'insieme che incanalano l'energia cinetica di John Cassavetes. Quando sono brutti sono esercizi di auto compiacimento. Ad ogni modo, difficilmente ti lasciano indifferente, motivo per cui il più grande progetto della regista, un film biografico da 22,4 milioni di dollari sulla leggendaria cortigiana francese del XVIII secolo Jeanne du Barry, può sembrare così sorprendente. È stato realizzato sontuosamente e con costumi abbastanza sbalorditivi - per gentile concessione di Chanel, uno degli sponsor del film. Johnny Depp nei panni del re offre alcuni primi brividi e poi per lo più sbadigli, distribuendo una dozzina di battute in rispettabile francese, pur rimanendo muto. La sua interpretazione non è male, e nemmeno quella di Maïwenn nel ruolo principale. Ma loro due, come il film, raramente ci fanno battere forte il cuore"

(Jordan Mintzer, The Hollywood Reporter)

"I parallelismi con la partecipazione al concorso di Sofia Coppola nel 2006, Maria Antonietta, non sono immediati, ma diventano chiari abbastanza presto. Tuttavia, Maïwenn non ha intenzione di seguire la regista americana "nella tana del bianconiglio postmoderno". Ciò è reso evidente nei titoli di testa, che iniziano con l'abbinamento in stile Bonnie e Clyde di Maïwenn e Depp, e si srotolano alla colonna sonora solenne e ricca di periodi di Stephen Warbeck - l'equivalente sonoro della vita di opulenza che attende il personaggio del titolo. In effetti, per un po', il film ricorda più da vicino una versione di scambio di genere della commedia sessuale di Tony Richardson del 1963 Tom Jones, basata sull'osceno romanzo del 18 ° secolo di Henry Fielding, anche se la commedia è molto più sottile e, sorprendentemente per un film sul sesso, per niente sexy"

(Damon Wise, Deadline)

Film Review - The Man In The Hat (2020)

Film Review – The Man In The Hat (2020)

Almost all silent of dialogue, this whimsical comedic travelogue around the French countryside is undeniably charming following the unusual offbeat situations of a Man in a hat (Ciaran Hinds) motoring scenically in his Fiat 500, accompanied only by a photograph of a beautiful unnamed woman.

Beginning with the man sitting peacefully at a cafe, he witnesses a mysterious incident by a group of…

Anyone who follows me knows that I like to listen to different soundtracks and film scores from movies. Great film makers often cheat by using good music to provide emotional power and impact. The veiwer is often so concerned the about image up on the screen he/she doesn't realize it's the music that is the controlling factor in the emotions being felt. In the end, (no pun intended) I have decided that a great movie almost always has a great soundtrack. Music is wonderfully subversive and often hits your subconscious. If you like a movie, find out who wrote the score. Stephen Warbeck wrote the music for Shakespeare in Love. Good stuff, what... "It's a mystery."

I’m desperately looking for the soundtrack at the end of episode 1x10 of the TV series Will (last scene + credits). It’s just so beautiful but I can’t find any soundtrack for the series except the songs used.
