Year: 1965
Director: John Schlesinger
Plot: Julie Christie won an Oscar for her portrayal of a bored, amoral fashion model in this cynical melodrama from director John Schlesinger. Following the break-up of a teenage marriage, Diana Scott (Christie) drifts into the world of modeling and acting, where she meets a television news reporter, Robert Gold (Dirk Bogarde), who leaves his family for her and introduces her to a more powerful and wealthy set. Soon Diana meets somebody more attractive: public relations mogul Miles Brand (Laurence Harvey). After briefly leaving and then drifting back into Robert's life, experiencing an orgy and even getting an abortion, Diana eventually leaves the swinging London scene behind and settles down to an unfulfilling if comfortable life as the wife of millionaire Italian widower Cesare (Jose-Luis deVillalonga). Shocking in its day, Darling (1965) won Oscars for its costumes and script from Frederic Raphael. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

Body: It’s late August. Our brains have been fried by lust for Nastia Liukin Olympic spirit. We’re ten days away from the start of fall festival season/Oscar frenzy proper. For these reasons and probably loads more, we woke up this morning desperately in need of something to obsess over that would involve no brain power whatsoever. And Thom Powers, in his infinite wisdom as documentary programmer for the Toronto International Film Festival, provided, by programming Paris, Not France, a documentary which purports to offer an exploration of “the businesswoman and the human being behind the public persona that is Paris Hilton…Modelled [sic] after the 1960s “it”-girl film Darling.” We’ve thus spent half the day digging up as much info on the film as we can find. Here’s what we know as of 2:04 PM, August 19, 2008: The film was directed by Adria Petty, daughter of Tom Petty. Petty started filming Hilton during the making of her 2006 album. On the YouTube channel for Petty’s production company, there is a video (above) of Ms. Hilton recording (or pretending to) a song from that album, called “Jealousy”, which is allegedly about her rivalry with sometime friend Nicole Richie. In fact, it’s possible that this film has been finished for quite awhile. It’s not listed on Petty’s imdb profile, in an interview dated January 2008, Petty referred to the film in the past tense. A gossip columnist at the Times Online has either seen Paris, Not France or has been nudged to try to create “controversy” around it. Saying that the film is “Not what Hilton’s people had hoped for,” Jessica Brinton goes on to describe Not France as “a rather brilliant exposé” that reaveals “that Paris has a very deep voice, is frequently in tears and doesn’t like being a celebrity as much as you might think, and is actually quite a sweetie.” So…uh…what did Hilton’s people hope for, exactly? I don’t know if it’s any commentary on how “exposing” of a film she’s made, but Petty was thanked in Hilton’s album notes: “To Adria Petty for always being honest with me and making history.” Finally: in Darling, Julie Christie won an Oscar for playing a bored model who sleeps with a number of rich men, has an orgy, and gets an abortion. I’ll just throw that out there without comment. Originally posted on:SpoutBlog » Karina Longworth

Post To: Double Feature
Post Date: 8/3/2007 10:17:30 PM
Body: First time I watched The Seventh Seal (1957), I was sooooo depressed. So I figure, why not follow it with Little Nicky (2000)?The Illusionist (ho hum) or The Prestige (ho hum) and The Magician (Bergman magic)Old and then young. Always cheers me up:Julie Christie - Away from Her and DarlingKatherine Hepburn - Long Day's Journey into Night and Little WomenClint Eastwood - Million Dollar Baby and Revenge of the Creature...and btw, the double feature is dead, but surfing at the Metroplex is alive and well. A bit of POTC, Harry Potter, Chuck and Larry, and Transformers, and then the full Live Free or Die, and then a little Hairspray and Ratatouille and back to work... nothing better... And finally, my most enjoyable double-feature experience: slipping out of work, 1982, over to AMC. Me and two other patrons distributed maximally throughout the theater for Conan the Barbarian and Road Warrior, with a giant coke and popcorn.
