Pauline Acquart - Retenez Son Nom

[DMt.]

Or even more gorgeous pics d'Acquart?

[Could be a bit risky, that one...]

[fish]

...haven't you heard that excessive castigation makes you go blind?...

Who said that?
Come out into the light where I can see you.

For chocolates I'd expect a full video presentation, with an interview thrown in.


Well, there's nothing penultimate about this pic from Lettre.....
(and doesn't PABlaFAB seem happy about it? )



I'll have to come up with something completely different tomorrow when despair sets in.

[DMt.]

I'm sorry to be here again, Doctor, but my Acquartisme is playing me up something wicked...can you give me anything for it?

Imaginary Doctor [looking over tops of spectacles] ; Look, mate, I'm just a GP, there's only so much I can help you with. I do have a colleague I could refer you to, very good man, specialises in this, er, sort of thing...? <mutters> Or you could try less protein.

Equally-Imaginary Fish [edging towards the door] ; Er, no, that'll be fine, thanks, I'll just...umm...well...I'll think of something...

[fish]

...there's only so much I can help you with...

Oh dear.
Looks like I'll have to go back to first principles.

Like this series of little NdP gifs from tumblr.
(Give them a little time to all load. Such beautiful words. Such a beautiful series.)

[Ian]

Very cute. Specially shot trailer, I presume?

[DMt.]

Casting improv from the movie DVD...I could wish that the compiler/editor had caught the expression of surprise on Adele's face, but that's just carping, really...yes, lovely work, by all concerned.

Fishy, you just keep on coming up with the goods, man.

How about crediting the original poster, and maybe telling them about here via a tumblr message...? This is obviously a talented and serious Acquartian/enne...

[DMt.]

Pauline Acquart, fifteen, was brave enough
To put her half-grown body in a film;
And almost everyone who sees it knows,
'This is important'.

As skinny as a child, 'Mrs No-Boobs'
Exercised nonetheless a potent force,
Played the gamine 'Marie' so perfectly
She might have been her.

What was it, in her craft and sullen art?
The terrifying vulnerability?
The woundedness she disdained to conceal?
Was it her courage?

Her awkward shyness is still full of grace;
Her vulnerability is perfect strength...

[cont. page 94]

[DMt.]

She is just wonderfully expressive...

OHHHH yeah.

Whoa! 1.280 views!

[Dahls]

What a beautiful improvisation!

It's on the dvd extras?
Time for a viewing then, in the next few days. Way overdue anyway.

[fish]

...Whoa! 1.280 views!

I'm sure 1,180 of them must be mine.

I'll have to track down the creator of those gifs too, very remiss of me.




Eeewwwwww. What's this?



Must go now..... searching for page 94.

[DMt.]

Eeewwwwww. What's this?

Max Factor Stage Blood No.2 ...

I see l'Acquart is wearing those rather spiffy black-lightning earrings [is that even the right term for something so un-ring-like?] as well as a crumpled expression of humorous distaste

I'll have to track down the creator of those gifs too

You can leave anonymous messages in a tumblr thread, though not direct links. I did this a few times on sweetgirl's Acquart thread [of fond memory ]

Halfway to the 29th k already...

[PS the {perhaps somewhat parochial} reference to "cont. p.94" is a jokey convention from the satirical British mag Private Eye ...]

[fish]

[...Private Eye ...]

My cousin subscribed. I was an avid reader.
I'm still waiting for my new washing machine.
They gave one away with every other copy, you know.
(see other copy)

Deffo some kind of "Other Blood" if you ask me.


It's amazing the number of people who make "showreels" of the w*rk they've done. (Bless 'em. )

Also....

What can you make of this? http://www.theatrea.fr/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=78&Itemid=121

Appointment with a text Christophe Botti

Summer young people in swimsuits scenes

set voice Armel Veilhan

with Pauline Acquart, Antoine Roger Berry, Moses Courilleau, Alexis Loizon and Eleanor Sarrazin

A beach one summer on an island. Of teens discover, collect, attract ... This is the border with age into adulthood. What happens to her body, her secrets, her pain when we meet each other?

With his last published piece "Exile, Exile," Christophe Botti has received the favorite of the students in the Spring Theatrical Guerande. The text has also been shot in 2012 of heart peer Centre Dramatic New Generation of Lyon and was a finalist Playwriting contest Guerande.

This toolkit led by Armel Veilhan is a step in creating a project staging Ariane Carletti associated with Stephane and Christophe Botti.

Christophe Botti is a playwright, screenwriter and director. Author of fifteen coins played and edited, it has been repeatedly distinguished. He was awarded the Theatre Prize XXI century for his play "Brothers of corn" which was created Scene Watteau Nogent-sur-Marne. In 2009 he was awarded for his piece "Distortions" Award of the Office Franco-Québécois youth in the Grand Prix of the theater. In 2011, France Culture broadcast "Nights cross" part for which he received a scholarship from the Foundation Beaumarchais."

Seems like a new venture but I haven't been able to find out anything else yet.

[DMt.]

Whew! I thought for one dreadful moment there was no new post de Poisson today! - serves me right for getting up early...

*

I would have thought it rather difficult to stage beach scenes; but perhaps that was the challenge.

I also think it a smart move by artmedia to get l'Acquart into as much theatre as possible - in fact, as many different [good-quality] projects as possible, but especially theatre, because that's the root of it all.

Just you wait - Acquart is working on her skills, mastering her craft, and when the right film lead appears [and may it be soon!] everyone's going to get their socks blown off; I dare say even more than by NdP's Marie.

[fish]

You dared to say it.


I still haven't had the time to do any research on the Christophe Botti thing so I don't have a clue what it's about, other than that there was a production early in 2012 also, but it was sans l'Aquart. Seems like she's only been cast in this new version.
Wise move I'd have thought.

At the bus stop. La Lisière.
