So, let's forget every icky thing you've heard about Woody Allen.  Which is probably a lot. I know, I know. BUT PLEASE can we talk about how GOOD some of his films are? I was asked once what my favorite Woody Allen was once in a drama class and I almost passed out from the indecision. While it may not be my absolute favorite,  Broadway Danny Rose is definitely in my top 5. But please don't ask me what that is either, I heard somewhere that passing out is bad for your brain. Or something. 

It stars Woody Allen (seriously this man always KILLS IT in his own films) as a struggling talent agent and Mia Farrow (almost unrecognizable) as the mistress of an up-and-coming lounge singer and seriously it's SO GREAT. I mean, the helium scene. The helium scene, I tell you.

Also notable is the style in this film. Woody looks unsettlingly sleazy in his cheesy talent agent atire, but Mia Farrow is all overdone glamour. THOSE SUNGLASSES. So, a set commemorating her pegged camel pants, floral blouse and SUNGLASSES (because those deserve to be mentioned twice) seemed appropriate.

Can we talk about Miranda July? Or, more specifically this movie? It's been one of my favorites for a while, and even though detractors would be quick to label it as pretentious or twee, I think it's a lot more than that. YEAH IT'S PRETTY TO LOOK AT. (In fact, Miranda July is really fantastic at making the usually banal and often ugly world that we all live in look absolutely beautiful. No small feat.) But that doesn't mean that's all the film is good for. I think it's a beautiful love story, not to mention being pretty goddamn funny.

Alright so I realize my insistence that this film isn't all about style becomes sort of ridiculous at this point, since I'm basically about to cry about HOW PRETTY IS THE WORLD IN THIS MOVIE AND WHY DOES LIFE NOT ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE THAT. Because seriously HOW PRETTY IS THE WORLD IN THIS MOVIE AND WHY DOES LIFE NOT ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE THAT. 

This also goes for the clothes that Miranda (and Sylvie!) wear in the film. They're fairly close to candy-floss technicolor perfection and I couldn't help but do a riff on Christine's ever-present pink stripes, faded jeans, and light pink ballet flats.
