    Another take of Leatrice for The Dressmaker from Paris (1925). Trivia: Travis Banton design the outfits for the film and a young Howard Hawks wrote the story.

    Watching The Dressmaker and ??? It’s surprisingly good. Definitely not feeling the chemistry between Lady Winslet and the stray Hemsworth 🙄 feels weirdly age gap even tho they’re … possibly not? But damn if this isn’t a MOVIE 👏

    Happy 63rd birthday to Aussie filmmaker Jocelyn Moorehouse! I really like her film THE DRESSMAKER, sort of a feminist romantic comedy-drama spaghetti western -- she's armed with a sewing machine, not a gun, but otherwise....! My take here: tremblesighwonder.com/2021/07/16/s...

    VERY excited for this! Especially to see Marion Cotillard as the Duchesse d'Ayen. 🤩 Plus a trio of cuties in Alexander Skarsgård, Andy Samberg, and Josh O'Connor. 😍 IMHO, La Winslet never disappoints. She's great even when the film is pure shit (The Dressmaker, ahem, cough, cough).

    First Australian film I saw was “Picnic at Hanging Rock”. I fell in love with Peter Weir after watching that and “Gallipoli”! The last Australian films I watched were “The Dressmaker” and “The Water Diviner”. Really liked both of them.

    She has CHOPS! The Dressmaker (movie) is fantastic, as is Mildred Pierce (miniseries). She’s like AOC for me; one of the women I owe an apology because their beauty led me to underestimate them. Both have grown into smart, strong, beautiful powerhouses.

I may revisit it later with individual posts about the costumes. Meanwhile, give the film a watch if you can. It's a wonderful film w/ incredible fashion.

    By complete coincidence (given we both re/watched it today) the story opens in a fictional town very near the fictional town of The Dressmaker. So it was very interesting for me to see how that area of Australia had been depicted on film.

    Kate Winslett is the only high-profile foreign actor to nail the Aussie accent - in The Dressmaker (which is a fantastic film that deliberately jumps genres every 20 minutes or so) but it was her second go at it. The first was, I think, Hideous Kinky about deprogramming and her accent was... fine

    Prime Video: The Dressmaker- a story about Tilly Dunnage, a dressmaker who returns to her small Australian town to get revenge on those who wronged her. The movie is based on Rosalie Ham's best-selling novel. I thought this movie was sort of dark and quirky. I’d give it an 8 out of 10

    Utterly superb! I wasn't expecting such greatness. 'The Dressmaker', to put it bluntly, is quality! It has a pulse and then some, I love the feel of the film throughout - with all its quirkiness, silliness and straight up brilliantness. It all starts off very strongly, though I did then feel a (very minor) plateau. However, to my surprise, it shoots straight back up as it culminates with a super ending. Kate Winslet is top notch from beginning to end with an excellent performance, though isn't…

    > Home is where the vengeance is. A stylish Aussie revenge-comedy that is adapted from a novel of the same name. Just superbly built screenplay on a tragedy that occurred some time back, but the movie reveals it only in the third act. About a woman who arrives in a small town where she was born and slowly gains popularity among the young women who seeks her stunning costumes to impress their counterparts. The town divides over her return, but why all the hate is the mystery that the movie going…
