Movie Nite #3: Conspirators of Pleasure & Belle de Jour (Patreon)

I’ve been slacking a bit on these since Tết came around, but I still plan on doing these sketch pages weekly and posting them in full here. This week’s selection was Conspirators of Pleasure (1996) dir. Jan Švankmajer, and Belle de Jour (1976). I enjoyed both these films greatly, had no idea that one of my all-time favorite music videos (Scissor Sisters’ Invisible Light) heavily referenced the latter. I’ve also got to check out more of Švankmajer’s work, if the rest of his repertoire is anything like this film. If you’re looking for a more direct feed into my movie log, I’ve got a Letterboxd I update frequently.

I hope you guys are hanging in there, especially my American friends and patrons.

Much light,

Casper
