Tv ART

Lately I've taken to shooting photographs with my iPhone as I watch a movie.
It's a bit curious, right? But somehow, (as pretentious as this may sound) there's always a tiny moment when something unfolding draws me in and I see beauty in it.

I absolutely adored the film "Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky", so much so that I've left it in my Netflix cue. It was so beautifully shot and art directed, like the whole thing was just one long painting. I took many photographs of the actress who played the composer's wife, whose name was Masha. There was so much poignancy in that face: rounded and very Russian with its peaks and wide valleys, red cheeks and full lips, that immediately recall whirling dancers and intricate embroidery and cakelike palaces and savage mounted men in tall fur hats.
Beauty, Violence and Fairytale.
