What To Wear With Nike Greco Supreme

Blake Edwards forever! We believed

Blake Edwards forever!

We are unprepared to greet artists such as Blake Edwards. It is not so much a question that we believe them immortal, but they simply do not accept the idea that they can leave. And if you do not run for some time (the last film, The Son of the Pink Panther , and 1993) we are always there waiting for them to return. Because in the end they always large, see Coppola, Malick, Carpenter ...

But Edwards, like Billy Wilder and Robert Wise, was not returned and, unlike the second, was not even become one of those directors-ambassadors cinema, which remain on the cutting edge and enjoy the tributes to this or that retrospective. Even his receiving the Oscar for lifetime achievement in 2004 had seemed almost a gesture of courtesy to us. Who knows, maybe it was aware of how his films have lacked. Than at the bottom of the viewer is always a bit 'selfish in his compel artists to continually return behind the camera.

And then we grow this selfishness, not simply accepting the fact that Edwards is no longer there. An old adage states that cinephile at the bottom of the artists we never talk about the past, because their deeds are eternal, but in this case the speech is a bit 'more subtle, because in the end Edwards the past has never really lived, he was already ahead. It was in that line between classic and modern, especially considering how its own thin film floating in the limbo that separates comedy from comedian and were able to cover a variety of expressions ranging from irony laugh at fat. Great storyteller and a skilled maker of masks, Edwards undergoes short that particular transference that leads him to identify himself with the legendary Inspector Clouseau (admittedly modeled after himself), but in our mind is instead replaced by Sir Charles David Niven will The Pink Panther : ironic, elegant, most astute and able to draw from the real fun.

In fact, if we then goes over his filmography, we realize that after all the characters are so Edwards: their perception is different from their real substance, even to just think of Julie Andrews Victor Victoria or Ellen Barkin's In the role of a blonde. A gap which outlines a continuous stylistic research, but also a sharp critique of madness that moves the world. What sometimes explodes with virulence dramatic, as in the little seen Days of Wine and Roses , a masterpiece that deserves to be recovered for some time. We hope that at least this is the right occasion.
