48 of 48 · most liked firstFor years, gaylors have been analyzing the way that Taylor uses 💛 to symbolize the closet. I’m going to start with the Lover era, because it lays the best foundation and context for this theory. If you’ve never seen the movie But I’m a Cheerleader, you should watch it! Taylor definitely has.

unlabelledView post →Most of you are probably too young but do you remember a film called The Lover that came out in the early 90s? Obviously being called The Lover there was lots of sex in it & the lead actress Jane March was labelled by the press as the 'sinner from Pinner' & I think of that when I see Jannik Sinner 🤣

unlabelledView post →I've loved Fitzgerald's novels for decades, but I don't think I've ever read his short stories, so this was a pleasant revelation! And I've seen the (gorgeous) film made from Duras' book The Lover, but I'm not sure I've read any of her books, which is ridiculous...

unlabelledView post →Take your pick, in my AU we got Sailor Moon monsters to deal with every season. I suppose if we go with the Christmas Villain side, Princess Snow Kaguya from the Sailor Moon S movie and side story manga called 'The Lover of Princess Kaguya' would count. In Obey me, they had Dark Demon Santa.
unlabelledView post →It would be amazing on the big screen! Something to keep an eye out for. I recently read Marguerite Duras' The Lover and she mentions it many times throughout the novel--so I had to followup and see it, of course. She wrote a review on the film but I don't think it's been translated. yet.

unlabelledView post →L'amant means a lot to me for reasons that are hard to articulate in a comment, but it's semi autobiographical, and I actually like the writing and voice better. There's a film based on it called the Lover but it's a bit much even if the actress is older.

unlabelledView post →A wealthy man (Tony Leung) is travelling on a ferry when he encounters a pretty young woman (Jane March). It doesn't take long before they are having a fairly torrid affair, but things are difficult. He is older and a Chinese citizen, she a French girl in what was then French Indo-China. She is also a bit of a gold-digger and quite aware that if she plays her cards right, he can offer her a new, more prosperous, life than that she shares with her mother (Fréderique Meininger) and two brothers.…
