The Thomas Crown Affair, 25th Anniversary

 Noon, Rest from Work (Van Gogh 1890-91), Crown's favorite painting in the Met in the film.

That's all he really wanted, rest from work, with Catherine.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 




FOO TDIS GURRA MUDDA SAFOOD ASHAMEENA!

“Do not tell me you know how to speak Romanian”. 



      The adventure scenes are breathtaking.

        Renee Russo (Catherine Banning) leaves you gasping.





“Do you want to dance? Or do you want to dance?”

She wants to dance to Wasis Diop.
The film is characterized on one site as “emotional”. Huh, I thought when I read.

At his Caribbean island getaway:


Catherine: “Wow, this must go over.”
Thomas: “With whom?”
Catherine: “With whomever you bring here.”
Thomas: “I never bring anyone here.”

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
It is emotional.


The soundtrack is exotic; the cinematography a jewel; the costumes extravagant; the settings a dream; the characters well-acted by Russo and Pierce Brosnan. The film is entrancing, an exquisite aural and ocular feast.
