Movie Favorite

"Scarlet Empress, with Marlene Dietrich, directed by Josef von Sternberg. That’s also pre-Code, just barely, I think, and it’s the greatest of their collaborations. Morocco is amazing, too, and I love Blue Angel. Morocco has that incredible ending where she can’t resist but follows him off, and you hear the wind sound and all that. Anyway, Scarlet Empress is so singular; there’s nothing like it. It’s almost like a new cinema is being created; he’s creating a new language for cinema. Not just the way that it looks, but the light, the use of light, and the use of production design becomes, almost, a sensory part of the experience and informs her character. It’s all about her character’s sensuality, and he uses all these other elements beyond just herself to sell that. The way the film looks, the way the film feels, and it’s where the style completely informs her identity, which is an amazing idea."

I enjoyed this.

It was different; set in Australia and centred around one ex-biker gang guy trying to go it straight in the small town of Sugartown

I liked Elijah. He was hot and so sweet with Ana and Sammy. He tried to resist her for her own good but in the end he couldn't do it and it made me smile because I think they make quite a cute couple.

As for Ana, she was so strong willed and, I was behind her 100% of the book in regards to seducing Elijah, it broke my heart a little with what happened to her, though. Poor thing. Elijah got a bit of justice for her, which sent him even higher up my list of favourite things in this book.

It has a different plotline to most NA, so if you're getting bored of reading the same sort of storylines, you should check this out!
