Blue hoo:    80's livin in the 80's

I recently revisited some of my favorite 80's films and was inspired to write this post.  
I call this the Blue period.      Diva, Betty Blue and Subway.     All made in the early 80's.    

DIVA was directed by French genius filmmaker Jean-Jacques Beniex.   The film was based on a novel written by Daniel Odier.

This thriller about two Parisian mobsters, an opera singer and her fan, and a very stylish Richard Bohringer who saves the day is really as contemporary today as it was visionary then.    The teenage girl in the see thru pink raincoat on roller skates reminds me of something John Galliano would think up.

The evil killer in sunglasses and an earpiece is as weird and terrifying as Javier Bardem in No Country.     If you have never seen it, get it on Netflix and if you have ,watch it again.  This is beautiful,powerful filmmaking.   Awesome.
