AND GOD CREATED WOMAN...THE SEQUEL

*( CHECK ME OUT ON ROTTEN TOMATOES-I`M GROOVYFLICK OVER THERE)
Bonnie & Clyde...Bonnie & Clyde...And God Created Woman started something Dionysian for the stiff Americano. Brigitte loosens us up and Cold War paranoiac behaviors vanish into the atmosphere. The paparazzi came into being with pics of Brigitte. Maybe it initiated the sexual revolution of the 1960s. Brigitte Bardot was free and natural and visually stunning. The 1950s in the U.S. were stiff and inhibited with Doris Day epitomizing lady stardom with corny parts and bellowing songs. And God…came out in 1956 and suddenly things have changed. The superstar looked stunning to Americans, in part because she was French, and the French Riviera, and sunny, free St. Tropez was an exotic place of Americano dreams…escape from the states to romantic interludes where you play on the beach all day and cha, cha, cha in the cafes by night.
The brilliant blue Mediterranean was gorgeous beyond belief and the French language poetry to stodgy local farm boys. Bridgette silhouetted against a jukebox with lounge guitar, rolling sandy locks and green panels, cut…Roger Vadim knew what he was doing…see the connection with Jane Fonda…see Barbarella for Bardot look-alike. Big Machito jazz band sounds against Brigette strutting up the stairs, in bed, tucked into white cotton sheets and giggling. Camera through panels coastline blue waves cascading boats on the mooring. She falls on the sand cut to docks with boats and she shoots it up for kicks, laughs and fires the pistol out the window…The Phocaeans colonized Provincia 4th century BC wanders the bedroom blue pajamas jealous lover in doorway…Juliette sleeps away cut to boats again…regular at the Cannes Film Festival, rocketed to stardom…Brigitte Bardot the ultimate bikini siren, (read this discreet bikini essay) gingham becomes the rage…languorously on the beach then romance scene buttons back up the back to bed. St. Tropez king of bikini…why am I dwelling on these silly matters…watching And God Created Woman for the first time ever, behind the curves but in the shot and biography of animal rights…Will see Contempt this weekend…they`re still raving about it…shots of coastline…wonders down winding roads goin` nowhere Havas Exprinter concrete walls motorcars and cafes Coco Chanel and the bathtub revolution…Bar de Amis…Les Amis gone the Bardot of my youth? Play the café wild dance scene again with Latin afro-jazz maracas, bongos cowbell jazz and Brigitte begins to move claps twist and albums on wall Juliette pulls her hair up twirls like a wild dervish the jass swings changes syncopation pulls up skirt wilder and wilder grinds the dance floor gone further and further husband jealous takes the stage legs grind wilder and wilder sweats hair flowing bongo furry she is gone caught in passion faster and faster shot fired and the moment is gone and so am I….created more jealousy then anyone thru time…
These picture galleries of Brigitte Bardot should keep you busy for a while… Couple that with some Serge Gainsbourg ala “Bonnie and Clyde” and you will be in a cloud…Uh la la…Raoul Dufy (1877-1953) is the best artist for the Cote d`Azur for food, palm trees, hotels, ocean, & sky…the natural light floods his canvas with joy and innocence. Study something of The French Riviera too before you watch this movie…it will enrich your experience. Shot of hills and seas laundry on the lines…away on bike flowers and shops Les Batounos cage liquore will build the casino by the road…bus and blue dress Antoine!! Fun in Toulon smiles and giggles…suitcase goodbye! Boats and green hills eici de tous tems s`ccampe you`re doing the mambo…cha cha cha troubadours from a lowly lot of jugglers ..kiss me cool jass café tabacs journaux frescoes cocktails bamboo accordion frescoes…vibes and dancing the Duke of Aquitaine & Frederic Mistral verse provencal verse romance and spices cool nightclub knights at the crusades lonely ladies …you`re a nasty drunk darts industrialist makes a play for Juliette hotrod kisses are you taking the first bus…Japanese fan take you back to st. Mary`s orphanage flowing golden hair plate of fruit and red curtains rabbits galore and greens go by Socrates the rabbit flees…yachts or Mister Hale shameless impolite & lazy daily news is stale a proper young lady? Le provencal give me a big kiss boats & birds blue azure motion & business easter Sunday graveyards and chapels play games ciggies marry juliette floral wreaths leave tomarrow sad postcard racks blinds and bikes stroll away Steve Reich`s 18 Musicians in the background…got to get to Flatstock poster show…free Michel I want you married to Juliette wedding day white wedding gown bells they chime…shadows & roman arches lawful wedded husband veil of tears matrimony you`re still in love? Husbands wearing horns punch and fight Hotel kick kick poupette old castles wine & chandeliers handsome you know passion and simple sets with bouchets cakes & fruits & bread stripped robe panorama syrupy music Saint Tropez is dazzling deep blue shutters afro-jass blast cha cha cha go in the car and twist Bridgitte is bored silhouettes and seas palms and cars scotch Venetian blinds architects plans golden balustrades skinny dipping at Hippie Hollow huh??
