THE BEAUTY OF LESBIAN LOVE WITH AN AGE DIFFERENCE TWIST =
THE BEAUTY OF LESBIAN LOVE WITH AN AGE DIFFERENCE TWIST = , NEW VERSION Have you ever noticed or maybe even wondered why so many movies and books about lesbian and gay relationships also issues falling in love between an age gap or a social gap? I think some of the reason why is due to the fact that there is no Mars Venus gap in gay realationships so one often are attracted to other differences Anyway thats just my little theory ; About this slideshow: Its a collage which features some of my favorite movies and my two favorite actresses Catherine Deneuve and Helen Mirren I encourage everybody to run out and by *all* their DVDs of course! ; ABOUT THE MOVIES SHOWN IN THIS SLIDESHOW: THE HUNGER: 1983 directed by Tony Scott This movie is probably most famous for the love scene between Miriam Blaylock Catherine Deneuve and Sarah Roberts Susan Sarandon with The Flower Duet as their soundtrack The movie also show a social gap between the refined Miriam and the more cultured clumsy Sarah BITTER MOON: 1992 directed by Roman Polanski The one and only reason I have used pictures from this film is because of the sexy dance scene and the kiss between Fiona Kristin Scott Thomas and Mimi Emmanuelle Seigner Thats all ; THE HBO DRAMA ROME: 2005 All though this isnt a movie I just HAD to include this here! I was so mesmerized by the affair between Sevilia Lindsay Duncan and Octavia Kerry Condon = And also Lindsay Duncan is such a talented and beautiful actress To bad it didnt end so well between them LOSING CHASE: 1996 directed by Kevin Bacon This movie won Helen Mirren her first Golden Globe Mirren plays Chase Phillips who falls in love with younger mothers helper Elizabeth Cole Kyra Sedgwick Her feelings are mostly returned but Elizabeth doesnt dare go on with the relationship LES VOLEURS: 1996 directed by André Téchiné This is my all time favorite film This was actually the first movie I bought in French without subtitles before I understood any French! Catherine Deneuve plays Marie Leblanc a professor of philosophy who have a passionate love affair with her younger student Juliette Fontana Laurence Côte A wonderful but also heartbreaking movie SOME MOVIES I LEFT OUT FROM THIS SLIDESHOW: Originally I planned to include the 1987s movie Iv heard the Mermaids Singing in my slideshow manly because it portrays both the very age free relationship between artgallery owner Gabrielle Paule Baillargeonand and her young lover painter Mary Ann Marie MacDonald who later have gueststared in The L Word Another reason why I would have liked to show this movie too is because The flower Duet also is featured in that film !! But sadly I couldnt find enough pictures from this movie For a while I thought about showing some pictures from the classic lesbian movie Desert Hearts its about a lesbian affair that overcomes many gaps but to be honest I dont really like this film I preferred the book! even though the movie is such a classic = A friend of mine suggested that I should include the scenes between Nan Astley Rachael Stirling and the rich Victorian society widow Diana Lethaby Anna Chancellor in Tipping The Velvet But again I preferred how that relationship is portrayed in the book in the movie its almost too dark Maybe I also could have included a scene from 8 Femmes Im actually not thinking of the kiss between Gaby Catherine Deneuve again and Pierrette Fanny Ardant I really liked the scene between the character Gaby and her slightly submissive maid Louise Emmanuelle Béart where Gaby asks Louise who the woman on Louises picture is and Louise answers that it was her last employer and that she loved HER But that scene is just too vague there is of course no love between Gaby and Louise its just a hint of romantic jealousy and a slight suggestion of sexual tension between them at least in my mind = For more clips from these movies feel free to check out my LADYGIRL playlist = ABOUT THE MUSIC PLAYING IN THIS SLIDESHOW: The Flower Duet Sous le dôme épais is the most well known part of Léo Delibes opera Lakmé It was composed in 1883 houndred years before Catherine Deneuve played I wonder if she really played it it on the piano in The Hunger = Anyway enjoy the slideshow!
