The Muse

I finally saw Vicky Christina Bacerlona. Despite my friends negetive reviews I love Woody Allen movies, and even the flops are generally better than most Hollywood Blockbusters. The one thing that troubles me is Scarlett as his muse. How can he go from Diane- to Mia- to Scarlett. Dianne Keaton started a frenzy of New Yorkers doing the Annie Hall look which is still a re occurring trends at the start of most Winters. Supposely she turned up to set in her personal trademark men’s trousers, waistcoat and tie and the costume designer told her to get out of those crazy clothes. Luckily Woody the preppy nerd loved her look and let her stay dressed.

Then came Mia the beautiful thirties elfin with those amazing cheekbones. Her look perfectly contradicted the mannish Dianne wardrobe with ditsy floral dresses and oversized woollen cardigans. Pity Woody’s movies have lost their iconic New York street style as he takes on new backdrops. VCB allowed the bombshell which is Scarlett and her sidekick muse Rebecca Hall traipse around in matching linen pants and musky short sleeve shirts.

There is hope that Woody’s latest muse Evan Rachel Wood is bringing back some interesting costume looks for his latest “Summer Project”. It’s a romantic comedy and it looks like Seinfeld creator and star of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” Larry David is her love interest. I prefer when Woody is starring in the movie, but at least no more baggy linen trousers.
