Can never unsee this.
Jeanne Moreau as Catherine in Jules & Jim (1962, dir. Francois Truffaut)
Although the film is named for the men, its animating force is Catherine, a creature both utterly timeless (Jules and Jim first see her visage in a photo of a Greek statue) and forever changing: at different points, she plays the roles of Charlie Chaplin and street tough, vamp, and doting mother. Passionate and iconoclastic, she is, in fact, the only true free spirit among them. Just as the men put their talent into their art, so she puts her genius into living—or perhaps into claiming for herself the reckless male freedoms that women have been traditionally denied.
On paper, the mercurial Catherine seems an implausibly grandiose conception, a woman both giddy and tragic, protofeminist and male-dominated, driven by Eros and Thanatos, love and death. But as played by Jeanne Moreau, a pop-eyed siren with the ferocity of Bette Davis and the kitty-cat wiles of Tuesday Weld, Catherine becomes one of the modern movies’ triumphant characterizations—the anima as autocrat. Whether playing with vitriol or jumping into the Seine, she elevates capriciousness to an existential principle. When Jim says he understands her, she replies, “I don’t want to be understood.” And this is absolutely true.-John Powers, On Jules & Jim
Never seen this, but now I want to.

Jean-François Rauzier is a French photographer who has developed the concept of ‘hyperphotos’ - ‘stitching’ together hundreds of enormous high-resolution images. Citadelle 2, which measures 180cm x 300cm, was created from a total of 1,500 images, endlessly distorted and duplicated, depicting the first floor of a grand Parisian residence. via guardian uk

CASH FAN: UR DOIN IT RONG
I got some free porn at a deathmetal show earlier, and now I’m eating steak and roasted potatoes at 1:07 am.
I want to take a second to big up one of my favourite dudes in the city: Dustin Fishbook at The Belmont Barbershop. Maybe the nicest guy in the service industry, he’s a total professional, with an unbelievable attention to detail. Constantly hustling, he has a new retail venture opening in a few weeks (in the upstairs space next door to the barbershop) that will be worth checking out.
The old-timey aesthetic, taxidermy, and good vibes notwithstanding, the real reason I return each month is because dude knows how to cut hair, and always makes my shit look good.
The Belmont, 111 East Broadway, Vancouver - $25/head (cash only)
Walked past this place the other day and caught him checking me out as I was checking out his taxidermy. Hella cool looking spot. (Also, their lil website is TITE)
Yep, going to see it this weekend. Because I’m a good husband, that’s why.
Or a pussy.
Oh right, I forgot every post has to come with a picture of me and Colum McCann “by accident.” YOU SHOULD BE FIRED IMMEDIATELY
