🎶 Video killed the radio star… 🎶 For my next blogathon, I’m stepping out a little bit of traditional cinema and will be focusing on the fascinating world of music videos! It’ll take place from December 11 to 13. Subscribe here : thewonderfulworldofcinema.wo…

Tell me you’re watching an old film without telling me you’re watching an old film:

At the end of the day, Grace Kelly didn’t play in many films BUT she was mostly in great ones (imo). I don’t know which one to watch tonight! Decisions decisions…

Grace Kelly doing a conga line 😂

In loving memory of my favourite actress, the talented and fascinating Grace Kelly who was born on November 12, 1929 in Philadelphia. I’m very happy I got to visit her hometown and walk in her footsteps back in 2023! #GraceKelly

My favorite actresses are not made by AI

#Noirvember + Grace Kelly birthday is a good occasion to (re)visit 14 Hours or the noir western High Noon! Two masterpieces imo. #gracekelly

On this 12th day of #Noirvember, I have to announce that I have finally seen 200 films noir! The latest one was Robert Siodmak’s The Suspect (1944), which I watched yesterday and truly enjoyed. #FilmNoir
