Painterly ambivalence~~~ Giuliana (Monica Vitti) struggles to hide her increasingly fragile mental state from her abscent husband in a post-industrial landscape. Corrado, a visiting business man, promises reprieve through an affair.
Lots o' fog, gorgeous framing of empty space, a heightened colour palette and a minimalist electronic sound score. The small fairytale sequence is amazing so i've linked^^
watch: if you're into Safe (1995)

The sound design, the shot choices, the almost sci-fi looking settings, Monica Vitti's performance as an archetypal modern subject, this movie has it all and more.

80s sun-drenched Italian countryside, a dude with a knack for dowsing robbing ancient Etruscan graves with his ragtag friends, perfect soundtrack/Italo disco, Isabella Rossellini. Itβs perfect.

Portable and a softer more intimate reading experience.

Mid 2010s I think?? Not been able to date yet.
Got for a steal on ebay this winter haven't been able to style yet though. I think summer will maybe be its moment. Its a cold purple, low waisted and calf length, got some cool straps and a very Ann asymetic ruffle split. It's very cool imo
Also have a Prada FW 90 silk-wool blend skirt (the pic) that I'm a bit scared to wear after I got sun cream on it last summer... the dry cleaner did manage to get the oil stain out though π₯²
