everything in this movie is so pretty! the landscapes, alain delon, the settings, the color grading, alain delon, the outfits, alain delon...
Everytime it zoomed in on Alain Delon’s eyes this hideous groan of lust came out of me
any male born after 1933 can't cook... all they know is murder , kiss they reflection, forgery, be bisexual , get sunstroke & lie
tom: i’m like dropping hints that i’m philippe greenleaf
tom every five minutes to every random person on the street: i’m philippe greenleaf

Alain Delon's charm and sculpted beauty is given a serrated edge in Purple Noon - a loose adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's 'The Talented Mr. Ripley'. So very much a performative film, in the false beauty of landscapes and people, and mostly about the dedication of being a convincing actor of the self. Its tension and sunbaked gloom is a knockout combo.
Alain Delon was in the running for The Most Handsome Man To Ever Exist and I think he just won
