Check out this terrific vintage Marie Claire magazine cover from 1964 featuring Françoise Hardy and Sylvie Vartan! I wasn't able to find the accompanying article, but I'd be very curious to see it.

Recommended Viewing: In The French Style (1963)
Jean Seberg and Phillippe Forquet
I spent the majority of last week bedridden with a particularly nasty bout of the flu. Thankfully, I had Turner Classic Movies to keep me company throughout my recovery. During this time, I watched quite a few films, including In The French Style (1963) starring the lovely Jean Seberg as an American art student living in France. The film follows Catherine (Seberg) over the course of four years and several love affairs as she makes the transition from idealistic adolescent to sophisticated, worldly young woman. After her father pays a visit, Catherine finds herself caught between a passionate romance and the carefree, glamorous joie de vivre of the jet-setting Parisian elite on the one hand and the more mundane realities of familial obligation and adult responsibility back in the States on the other. Notably, the film also features Phillippe Forquet, former fiancée of Sharon Tate, in the role of Catherine’s teenage lover, Guy.
Unfortunately, as is the case with many of Seberg's films, In The French Style is currently unavailable on DVD. Hopefully this will change in the not-so-distant future. I'd highly encourage anyone who appreciates 1960s cinema or French culture to watch this film. And of course, it is a must-see for any Jean Seberg fan!

Made In USA (1966)
VERY exciting news!!! I'm pleased to announce that The Criterion Collection will be releasing Jean-Luc Godard's Made In USA (1966) next month! The DVD release date is scheduled for July 21, 2009. You can pre-order it here on Amazon.
Cant wait to FINALLY see this film! I simply adore the lovely Miss Anna Karina.
Also worth mentioning is the upcoming release of Roman Polanski's Repulsion (1965) on Criterion Collection DVD/Blu Ray in July. A must-see film in my book!
Which films do you think are deserving of a Criterion release? I'd have to vote for Polanki's Cul-de-sac (1966) and Anna (1967).
Keep up the good work, Criterion!
Here is the Made In USA theatrical trailer for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!:
