I always remember of Brigitte when the Cannes festival starts...I think there's no one better than BB to represent the essence of it. This thread never disappoints me. Thanks everybody for these absolutely stunning pictures!

^ I totally agree ! Brigitte embodies the Cannes I love the most, the Cannes of the early years.

I'm craving for new pictures, they've been scarce for a while. I wish we got new ones daily

MY FAVORITE THREAD!!! I'll never get sick of looking at pics of her.

Great pics!

Does anyone know about BB's son Nicolas? I know they haven't a good relationship and there's not much about him on internet (or maybe I didn't search right) but anyway it's nice to know...

That's one of my favorites btw


chantemavie centerblog

Thanks!

[CielDeLit]

Brigitte doesn't talk about her son but from what I've gathered they fell out over Brigitte's autobiography, which was published more than a decade ago.


I just know that he's been living in Norway for a long time and that he's got two daughters in their early 20s

Thanks CielDeLit! I knew that you could help me

I'm back! And it's great to see so much activity and so many lovely new photos of BB again! Thanks so much, AnnieHall, Meghann, and the ever wonderful Ciel for keeping the post lively.

I'm still a bit too busy to post up new things (although, ergh, you guys are starting to make me long for blond BB once more... I actually started working on making screen-caps of En Cas de Malheur due to this!) but I do have a couple of fun links for the thread.

First, here is En Cas de Malheur in its totality online! Unfortunately, there are no subtitles, but you can certainly still enjoy her at the prime of her beauty. Seriously, she is ridiculously gorgeous here and this copy of the movie is a little cleaner than the one on Youtube. I just wish I could get my hands on the Russian version of this movie... apparently, the picture is stunning clear there!

A Fantastic Review of the Clothes for And God Created Woman: http://www.glamamor.com/2011/06/cine...te-bardot.html

Quote:

The clothes Brigitte wears throughout the movie mirror her character. Designed by famed French fashion designer, Pierre Balmain, they are seemingly innocent yet extraordinarily sexy. Known for his sophisticated shapes and clothes representing the "architecture of movement," everything she wears somehow shows off her shape...either because it's a body conscious silhouette, it's unbuttoned just so, or it's not even there. For example, few movies open with a more effective device...a 21-year-old Brigitte Bardot lying naked in the sun. The audience is absolutely drawn in. Not surprisingly, from this moment on she was considered a sex kitten and became a style star. Countless magazine editorials, advertising campaigns, and celebrities--Pamela Anderson, Claudia Schiffer, Madonna, and others--continue to borrow from Bardot and this movie.

A Detailed Review of And God Created Woman: http://teleport-city.com/wordpress/?p=667

Quote:

But Brigitte is the main attraction, and she truly shines here in a film that could almost be summarized as a series of provocative postcards, or as a love letter to the form of Brigitte Bardot. She’s playful, charismatic, and hints at a touch of devilishness. It is quite easy to understand why the men around her are willing to throw their lives into disarray (and then blame it on her) for her affections. She is hypnotic and possessed of a quality few women have been able to convey onscreen. She is also astounding to behold. Anyone who doesn’t quite understand why so many people went ga-ga over her should check her out here as she blossoms into full-fledged bombshell status...

En Cas de Malheur review: http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/21023...rench-release/

Quote:

Despite of the clichéd-story: an older man loses his mind over a girl who could be his daughter this most unusual film helped spread the Bardot myth all over the world. Her famous nude scene was so passionately debated at the time that film distributors had to take extra precaution to assure the guardians of decency how most innocent Bardot's acting was. It did not work!! Even in France En Cas de Malheur was censored and only years later the "missing" footage was restored.

Bonjour Paris Review of a Recent Exhibition: http://www.bonjourparis.com/story/an...t-created-sex/

Quote:

Like Josephine Baker, Bardot created a stir by the simple act of baring her body. Like Marilyn Monroe, she effected powerful erotic magic by the equally simple act of dying her hair blonde. But Bardot’s impact on French society was more seismic, equivalent to the impact Elvis had on Eisenhower’s America. France after the war was a changed place but still mired in the past—politically the Fourth Republic was similar to the Third, the economy not quite industrialized, and the society ossified. Bardot was an unlikely change agent. She began as a teenaged gamine for pre-Nouvelle Vague filmmakers like Jean Boyer, Marc Allegret and René Clair.

Ah, I have an urgent request for help! I found what looks to be a gorgeous treasure-trove of high-quality En Cas de Malheur vids from a French site, vodkaster.com. However, I keep getting the message that I can't play it in my country, the US! Can anyone tell me if they know how I can by-pass this and watch the vids? I want to screen-cap so badly...

Please keep in mind that I am very computer illiterate (I know how to point and click and that's about it...) and thanks ahead of time! I'll give everyone screen-caps in recompense!

Also, since I am highly fickle, I've been on a blonde bombshell BB kick for the last week or so. So here are some gorgeous screencaps straight off of the vodkaster.com site. If anyone can help me get those En Cas de Malheur vids, I can make even more for you... promise!

And a few more screen-caps from dvdbeaver.com. Ugh, I want to make my own screen-caps so badly!

So am I I wish I could help you ! I'm gonna ask people on the BB fan forum if they've got the movie in HQ on their computer

Have you ever thought about buying the DVD on internet ?



The only thing I can do is post a few pictures from the film

Aww, thank you for the lovely pictures, Ciel! You always come through for me! I haven't seen the third one before... how lovely she looks with her hair down! Seriously, the entirely of En Cas de Malheur is basically hair-porn for Bardot fans. She looks freaking amazing throughout, with that sexy disheveled look she rocks so well. And she's so luminous in black-and-white too! It's unreal, almost. I would love to get a HQ copy if the movie, if you can track it down.

I've thought of getting En Cas de Maleheur on DVD but it's $30 plus shipping off of Amazon.com and comparable sites. I wouldn't mind shelling out $15 or so but... ugh, $30 is like two weeks worth of lunch money for me. Sigh. Well, we'll see...

That's part of the reason why I was so excited by the Vodkaster link! They have really, REALLY HQ vids of the movie and I'm crushed that I can't access them since I'm in the US. I tried downloading the entire page and that didn't work. I also tried going through Proxy Sites like Hidemyass.com but they just blanked out the actual videos, defeating the purpose. So I think I need to ask some kind, European-dwelling person to maybe download the vids and then send them to me... or just make caps themselves.

Anyone willing? I will totally return the favor by making caps of their favored BB movie for them. The lovely, gracious, gorgeous Fiammifero sent me a LOVELY set of BB movies so provided I have the movie in question, I will totally cap the hell out of it in return!
