What I didn't see coming is the subpar "L'ère du talisman". Impeccable styling, but the direction is abysmal. Curious how there is something very French about amateurish photo shoots. A laid-back charm of sorts. And before I utter some platitude about French nonchalance, I'm going to shut up and spare everybody the embarrassment.
