This is genuinely one of the coolest things a camera has ever done
In Bernardo Bertolucci’s The Dreamers, set among three young cinephiles in Paris in 1968, there is a moment when Isabelle, played by Eva Green in her very first film role, walks into a dark room wearing a sheet knotted at her waist and long black opera gloves that reach past the elbow. Behind her, everything is black. Her bare arms disappear into the darkness, and for a second she is not a young woman at all but the Venus de Milo: the famous Greek marble in the Louvre, whose arms are missing.
Matthew, the American who has fallen for Isabelle, looks at her and says:
"I’ve always wanted to make love to the Venus de Milo."
The clever part is how simple it is: no special effects, just light, a black backdrop, and two black gloves.
Out of them Bertolucci conjures one of the most recognizable sculptures in art history.
hello there the jacobian conjecture is false thanx to my close friend akhil for asking about it and my other close friend fable for working during the world cup final
((1+xy)^3 z + y^2 (1+xy) (4+3xy), y + 3 x (1+xy)^2 z + 3 x y^2 (4+3xy), 2 x - 3 x^2 y - x^3 z): \C^3\to \C^3, has jacobian determinant -2, and sends (0, 0, -1/4), (1, -3/2, 13/2), and (-1, 3/2, 13/2) to (-1/4, 0, 0)
@UTD_Seth001 “When a match is over, you should respect your opponent, whether you’ve won or lost.” Motherfucker, you do the same thing you are criticizing every fucking time you win a match! Miss me with that shit.
@united@united Your girls at the gate are liars. Caught them red handed and reluctantly gave me meal vouchers. You are not a serious airline. I’ll be expecting my EC261 compensation as well
@united@united In EWR coming from France, connecting flight delayed more than 3 hours with a 7 hour layover in terminal and 8 hour flight. The people at Gate A17 have been extremely evasive re:compensation. What should I do?
