Rest in Peace, Susannah York

Susannah York passed away today at the age of 72 after a battle with bone marrow cancer. Dirk Bogarde's co-star in Sebastian and Oh! What a Lovely War, Susannah York was an amazing actress, and from the interviews I've seen, and articles I've read, she seemed like an incredibly lovely person. As The Guardian put it, she was a "gentle star of 1960's cinema." She'll be deeply missed.

Sebastian (1968)

I finally (finally!) watched Sebastian last night -- I've been meaning to for well over a month and just never seemed to find the time. But it was definitely worth the wait. I don't want to give away much of the plot, since it's nice to discover what's going on yourself, but I will say that it's a suspenseful, intriguing, very entertaining film with fantastic 1960's fashions and camerawork and, as usual, an outstanding performance by Dirk Bogarde.

I've been drawing a huge blank when trying to write reviews lately, so please pardon me if that last paragraph is the extent of my review. I hope these FIFTY screenshots will make up for that ;-D
