Review of Puce Moment

Inspired to the fancy 1920s divas' laziness, this K. A.'s statement cameo, filmed in 1949, already shows the author's Early Golden Age Hollywood(land) worship, not to mention that kind of allure throughout THAT UNIQUE EPOCH used to rule. Bara, Swanson, Bankhead, La Marr, Normand. It was the time belonging to silver screen dissolute fast GODS until, in 1926, Rodolfo Valentino succumbed to a peritonitis' inter-current disease, (albeit belatedly diagnosed as syphilis consequences due to his pansexual vivid habits), which brought him, willing or not, to the mortal human being hellish surface. Colors, technique and apparels (among those, the preciously real 1920s outfits and jewelries) made this craft a glamorous glance to an indulging, total permissive, Hollywood daydream d'antan. I personally do like the Technicolor solution especially adopted in order to get more "puce" the between-the-lines style life meaning.
