movie: addicted to love

addicted to love was the original franco-new yorkaise inspiration. anton's apartment is worth sitting through the entire movie. dégagé, worn-in in just the right way. note: cream walls, mix of woods, red persian rugs (threadbare, no doubt), plentiful wine, wall hung chock-a-block with paintings, red shades, plants grouped together.

inspiration:

"The difference between myself and other producers is I am interested in the thousands and thousands of details that go into the making of a film. It is the sum total of all these things that either makes a great picture or destroys it. The way I see it, my function is to be responsible for everything."

 — David O. Selznick
