Midge (Rachel Brosnahan) isn’t the only character on a quest to reinvent herself in “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.” At the start of Season 2, while Midge continues her rise to stand-up stardom, her mother, Rose (Marin Hinkle), impulsively returns to Paris to relive the bohemian life she left behind after college. Bored with being a wife and mother, Rose longs for her own adventure full of art and romance, which inspired production designer Bill Groom and costume designer Donna Zakowska during a refreshing break from New York.
“It was important to get a sense of why she’s in Paris,” said Groom. “We don’t want to see monuments in every shot — this is not like a postcard. “When I was a college student in Oklahoma, my English teacher was talking about how Paris was such an artistic place…how art was in the air. That’s basically true, and...

The new movie “Warrior” is ridiculous. What I mean is, “Warrior” is that rare combination of feel-good movie fused with that down-and-dirty blood sport, Mma fighting, that one doesn’t find all that often in film – and pulls it off with an incredible level of beauty and grace.

There are many eye-popping moments in Black Book (2006), aka Zwartboek, though probably the most PG friendly is when Carice van Houten transforms into a Resistance beauty of Jean Harlow-esque proportions wearing an unmissable red halterneck dress.
Black Book is a World War II set action thriller directed Paul Verhoeven. Based on true events it charts the story of Ellis de Vries (formally Rachel Stein) played by Carice van Houten, a Jewish singer who joins the Dutch Resistance and then infiltrates the German Gestapo. Ultimately, however, the tide turns as she finds herself branded a traitor by her comrades and forced to go into hiding.

The noteworthy period costume design is by Yan Tax. Van Houten’s outfits vary considerably at different junctures in the story. At the start of her journey Ellis wears mainly...
