Watched as part of my research for a video on early cinematic color processes.

¿Comedia autoconsciente o parodia del género? Imposible descifrar la intención. Me ha llegado a llevar a un punto de bad trip. 

Como si el crack del 29 fuera la Revolución Francesa, y el preludio de la Segunda Guerra Mundial el de las guerras napoleónicas. 

Backrooms neoclásicas 
Experimento Techincolor fallido

Becky Sharp
The only good thing about this movie was Miriam Hopkins although she didn’t have much to work with. But she definitely has the slitherin vibes of the character and she could have been a very good Becky Sharp. My main problem is that they changed the original text too much. It is an adaptation of and adaptation but I’m not even sure if this could actually work as a play. The novel is Vanity Fair and the fact that the movie got centered around Becky takes away so much from the original product. Also not enough Dobbin, disappointing.
