I found this image on IMDB: <http://imdb.com/gallery/ss/0402894/Ss/0402894/001.jpg?path=gallery&path_key=0402894> Not the best photo, but you can definitely see her corset (and her thru it!!) ~mary [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:Message: 1 Date: Fri, 30 Dec 2005 14:43:17 -0800 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [h-cost] "Casanova" (possible spoiler)
I feel compelled to comment here. I saw Casanova last Sunday and for the most part the costumes are lovely. Not perfect, but quite good. With one rather glaring exception. This could be considered a spoiler, so I'll skip some space : : : : : : : : : : : : At the climactic scene of the movie, Francesca is wearing her shift, petticoat and a corset. But it is the weirdest corset I've ever seen! The style and cut was correct, but you could see both or her breasts clearly outlined in the cloth, right down to her nipples! And detailed enough to tell that her right breast is lower than her left. I can't figure out why it looks like that, or even how they achieved that look. I suppose if you left out all the boning you might get that, but still, with at least two layers of coutil (or some other sturdy fabric) you shouldn't be able to see her breasts like that. Granted, earlier in the film the character has a comment about how hideous corsets are, so if that's the point they're trying to underline, why have her in a corset at all? I'm stumped, and it really yanked me out of the movie at that point. I'm curious to hear anyone elses comments after they've seen it.
