Laura Mulvey recommended A Bout de Souffle (Breathless) (1960) in Movies (curated)

"For me, Breathless and Vivre sa vie were a revelation, a new concept of cinema. Pierrot added an emotional and cinematic extra level: color, widescreen, the French landscape, the beauty of its stars, its casual use of experimentation both visual and narrative."

Bruce Wagner recommended How to Talk About Books You Haven't Read in Books (curated)

"Its bathroom-reading title belies this astonishing, hilarious analysis of reading, memory, shame and the everyday fraud of shared experience — the illusion of consensus that is the glue of our conversational social contract. Written by a drolly self-effacing French professor of literature."

Marina Abramovic recommended The Black Count: Glory, Revolution, Betrayal, and the Real Count of Monte Cristo in Books (curated)

"Brilliantly researched, this book transports you vividly into the world of Thomas-Alexandre Dumas, a mixed-race nobleman and soldier during the French Revolution who inspired his son, Alexandre Dumas, to write The Count of Monte Cristo. It is a must-read."
