Tuesday Flickr Set: Erotissimo from Will Kane.
Adam unearthed this treasure from the superb Weblog, The World of Kane. Among his many interests, the Londoner Will Kane has confirmed a discerning eye for the mid-century cinematics. Yesterday's entry describes Erotissimo, the 1968 Gérard Pirès satire of the ad world as possibly "the most Sixties movie ever." As illuminated within Kane's Flickr set (this is Tuesday, after all), the many things one might love about the era—sex, food, music, stereotypes and furniture—are presented full front and center as only the French can pour. And while we have yet to sip it in, Erotissimo has just risen to the top of this correspondent's "to-do" list. Starring Jean Yanne, Annie Giradot and Francis Blanche.
Extra Bonus: Take a run through Kane's full photostream, with sweet sets, among others, for Russian stop-animation master, Roman Kachanov and Robert Brownjohn's delicious Goldfinger title sequence.
