As a preamble for Kristin Burke’s upcoming analysis of Rosemary’s Baby, here is a rather interesting chat we had about the film. Anthea Sylbert was prolific following Rosemary’s Baby.

Looking so sexy that the finished film can be nothing but a huge disappointment, this teaser for Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy ticks all the right 70’s boxes. For those of you lucky enough to live in LA, literally racks of costumes have just on display at The FIDM Museum. A majestic tale set in a buttoned-up world of repressed emotion.

Warner Bros. have released two official images from director Baz Luhrmann’s upcoming adaptation of The Great Gatsby. Not much to see as yet, but it is difficult not to be drawn in by the promise of costume luxury.

Their ‘civvie’ costumes by Sammy Sheldon (Kick-Ass, Stardust) are not excessively sixties in tone, however. Only a handful of details give the film away as not set in the present day, most notably on January Jones as Emma Frost and Kevin Bacon’s ‘Hellfire Club’ leader Sebastian Shaw.
