Brigitte Bardot & Jane Birkin in Don Juan, 1973

“Play me like I’m your favorite song. I know I might not be your favorite forever, but at least I was for a moment.”

— Unknown

“I’m more than ever of the opinion that a decent human existence is possible today only on the fringes of society, where one then runs the risk of starving or being stoned to death. In these circumstances, a sense of humor is a great help.”

— Hannah Arendt, Correspondence: 1926-1969

“I can be as deep as the sea and as shallow as a river. I can be the faces you like or a thousand others.”

One thing about me...I will disappear

Brigitte Bardot’s last film before she retired: DON JUAN, OR IF DON JUAN WERE A WOMAN (1973).

1970s interiors: the movie. Man, one after the other. Hip interiors from that period often look like cheap sci-fi sets—or actually, better yet, like those LPs with schmaltzy symphonic versions of romantic songs. Remember those? Fireplace, a rug, a young couple, wine glasses...

And then sex.

Adélia Prado, from “Denouement”; translated by Ellen Dori Watson

Text ID: I am beginning to despair / and can see only two choices: / either go mad or turn holy.
