Francesca Woodman, “On Being an Angel #1”, 1977
“Barbarella’s Bra”, Anthony Penrose (Lee’s son), c. 1979
Claire’s Knee (Eric Rohmer, 1970)
Probably the most erotic movie without sex ever filmed. The locations alone are arousing, and Jean-Claude Brialy’s straw hat and sweater draped over the shoulders are so pimp.
The Criterion edition has a contemporaneous interview with the two gamine leads, Béatrice Romand and Laurence de Monaghan, about working with Rohmer, and they have a very cutesy, Rohmerian discussion about the enigmatic director’s personality. While the man himself may be a mystery, his art is basically a species of sublimated Catholic perversion, not unlike Balthus. Brilliant movie.
