Random Fashion Thoughts (Part 3: Style farmer strikes back) - our general discussion thread

You can hardly say that NCFOM 'Definitely launched the career of Bardem' - unless you mean the English-language career. He was already a well-known actor and had an extensive CV in Spanish-language film before that, notably Before Night Falls, Mondays in the Sun and, of course, The Sea Inside, one of the great films on the 2000s and which even Hollywood deigned to recognise with an Oscar.

yes I meant English speaking, I watched Spanish movies (and various other non English ) at that time but didn’t know Bardem until that movie.

Javier Bardem in No Country is one of the most iconic performances of the 21st century to me and the first time I saw him as well. There's something incredibly charismatic and interesting about him. He also has a certain gravitas and subtle control that few actors possess. The way he embodied his character combined with the stylization of the film and his incredible haircut is unforgettable. He was also really good in Skyfall. I need to watch some of his Spanish films.

A lot of people didn't care for Mother! (2017) but I though his (and Jlo's) performance was incredibly impressive. The whole film pivoted around him playing a very strained and complex role, and he felt utterly natural in it. Can't recommend enough if it went under anyone's radar.

Unpopular opinion: @OccultaVexillum has a robust wardrobe full of luxe minimalist gear that would go very nicely with The Row overshirt. If it's exactly what he's looking, why not go for it?

I think is a v popular opinion with people who know what OV dresses like

agreed on his performance, I wasn’t as big of a fan of skyfall as spectre but overall all Daniel Craig bond films were quite good.

Just watched a couple 90s docs on Japanese architects (Ando and Kurokawa) and was really struck by how interesting and weird their tailoring was. Frequent use of aggressively egg-shaped silhouettes, often in just black, white, and gray, with lots of weird shirt plackets and collars. The overall look is hard to pin down—like a mix of that era’s salaryman look, Margiela-esque modern spins on tailoring, frumpy public defenders, and ayatollahs (lots of band collar shirts). I’ve had a hard time finding pictures online, but perhaps @dieworkwear, or someone with similar photo-digging skills, might some day make a good post of it.

NFCOM was so good, amazing that it came the same year as There Will Be Blood

There will be blood had an amazing performance from Daniel Day Lewis but I did not like the overall movie that much. His performance is what saved it for me.

DD Lewis is a generationally talented actor. I think he has an almost unparalleled range and ability to become different people convincingly, but I also don't actually enjoy some of the actual movies he's in as much as I hoped. I liked There Will Be Blood because it's such an engrossing performance and the movie is so beautifully shot, but it's not as fun a watch as something like Gangs of NY or Last of the Mohicans. Phantom Thread he was amazing in again as a completely different person but I did not care for the movie at all.

great recommend will watch. i just re-watched Black Swan a couple of nights ago and it was way better than i remember.

 

[verver]

Can’t beat last of the Mohicans. And the soundtrack. And Michael Mann.

This might be a long shot but I'm really digging this polo here.

Does anybody has a clue, what brand this could be?

btw this is Shawn Mendes

Cheers

Phantom Thread was outstanding. I suspect that the only reason DD Lewis didn’t win the Oscar was because his character was quite despicable.
