sorry this post is retarded in its delivery - written well over 2 months ago, i haven't been able to find the time to properly write the piece nor search out the appropriate images to accompany it. please take it as it is, and love it for what it is. sincerest apologies - expect more effort going forward.

friday night has quickly turned into date night with my sister. we usually watch one of those horrible tween movies (hannah montana! 17 again! hey! don't knock it 'til you've tried it) but we decided to do something a little different this past friday. don't get me wrong - i think i have pretty good taste in movies - but i find that it's difficult finding quirky indie fare with wide theatrical releases and when you do find a location playing your film of choice, the times are odd and they don't play for very long. our choices came down to the brothers bloom and rudo y cursi. funny enough, both films were about a pair of brothers who don't necessarily see eye to eye. the brothers bloom won out (because it was playing at a later time). point homa for making the decision - i'm going to take all the credit for this one, because when i make the wrong choices (ie: the last kiss) i take all the blame as well.
i loved every aspect of the film - storyline, characters, costumes, soundtrack, locations, props. A job very well done by the production team - they obviously assembled a very fun, smart group of people to work on the film - from costume designers to actors. i was so inspired by everything i had to share - and there's just so much to share, i'm going to break it down into parts.
locations:
the brothers bloom was chock full of beautiful scenery - i'm already planning a vacation to montenegro (not really, just in my dreams) and reminiscing about prague. apparently it was filmed in serbia, montenegro, romania and prague but locations for the purpose of the plot were montenegro, prague, st. petersburg, and mexico.

beautiful montenegro(londonbrad on flickr) 
costumes:
new girl crushes: rachel weisz and rinko kikuchi. rachel is so gorgeous and the classically beautiful outfits she donned just let her natural beauty shine through without overwhelming them. rinko kikuchi is so funny she's been described as the harpo marx of the brothers bloom. so cheeky! and her outfits played the part too! the men also sported some old world classics as well - why don't men wear hats or suspenders anymore? didn't sundays used to be the day of leisure, where couples would take promenades in their finest gear? now we all bum around in dirty jeans and baseball hats.
props:
oh my, too much to love. from the montage of penelope's (weisz) many hobbies (she collects them!) to the sea liner and on, there are so many things i want in my life!
