The Films Of Guy Bourdin
“Bourdin was one of the best known photographers of fashion and advertising of the second half of the 20th century. He shared Helmut Newton’s taste for controversy and stylization, but Bourdin’s formal daring and the narrative power of his images exceeded the bounds of conventional advertising photography. Shattering expectations and questioning boundaries, he set the stage for a new kind of fashion photography. Bourdin worked for Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar, and shot ad campaigns for Chanel, Issey Miyake, Emanuel Ungaro, Gianni Versace, Loewe, Pentax and Bloomingdale’s” See also: Deathly Stills: The Dark Dark World of Guy Bourdin.

The Lost Boy in the Movie House
“The famous French advertising slogan that says, “When you love life, you go to the movies,” it’s false! It’s exactly the opposite: when you don’t love life, or when life doesn’t give you satisfaction, you go to the movies. When you consider the tastes of the most cinephilic cinephiles, you often see that they have a “conformist” taste; they like traditional things. In the Hollywood cinema they will like melodramas where the question of good and evil is very cleanly divided. They like characters who are fairly exemplary or heroic or edifying. Their neurosis probably comes from a disturbed childhood, from a family milieu that was troubled or broken, and they need at the same time exoticism and reassuring things.”
