Holy Moly, Batman!!
Well, not only does Woody Allen's new film, Midnight in Paris, take place largely in Paris in the 1920s, it was very well received at Cannes.
Now, yesterday, French director Michel Hazanavicius's film, The Artist, played to much acclaim yesterday at Cannes and the Weinstein Company will be distributing the film here in the US -- which means that probably a lot of theaters will show it. The film is a black & white silent movie, gang, that is "an affectionate look at old Hollywood." Yay!!
Maybe it's time for that era to come back around. I'm so glad that Twilight of the Immortal finally found a home with Ananphora Literary Press this year and can be out in the world, adding to the energy of that "old Hollywood" vibration. Of course, as you can guess, it's going to require a ton of promoting on my part, but oh well! That's life these days.
I wanted to share this reader review that is on Amazon. I think it gives a nice overview of what my novel is about:
"You'll love Rosemary McKisco! In this story she shares with us not only her own coming-of-age growing pains as the affluent step-child of a successful Broadway producer, but also the changing times and mores that accompany The Great War, Women's Suffrage, and the beginning of "flickers" in the wilds of New Jersey. Not wanting to be married, nor with any real professional ambitions, she finds herself accompanying the troupe that surrounds Alla Nazimova, the first openly gay actress in her relocation to Hollywood. Once in Los Angeles she finds her footing and grows close to Rudy Valentino, best known for being early film's greatest lover. She's there with him as he goes from being an obscure actor to his meteoritic rise in fame. Along the way Rosemary will take you behind the scenes and introduce you to many of both Broadway's & Hollywood's real players, take you to their parties and share the inner politics and ever ignited passions....Kudos to author Marilyn Jaye Lewis on her skill as a scribe! Well researched and incredibly well executed. "
Okay, then!! Let's get this Monday thing started. Have a great day, amigos. As always, thanks for visiting!!
