I just felt like sharing a small selection of my favorite movies...these ones are especially inspiring to me because of all the fantastic colors, detailed costumes, furnishings, food and cultural accoutrements - oh and of course because of the beautiful strong women! (from L to R, top to bottom)
The Scent of a Green Papaya
Kama Sutra
Hero
Whale Rider
Like Water For Chocolate
Amelie
Memoirs of A Geisha
The Pillow Book
Frida
I'd love to know some of your favorite movies too!
