Special thanks to everyone who joined us last week for our recent "All About Aesthetics" livestream, episode 10 focused around Blake Edwards masterful film, "10". Enjoy and see you soon! More on this special stream ,here: For this, the tenth episode of the Aesthetics series, I will focus on the Blake Edwards 1979 masterpiece 10 with the large and unusually terrific cast of Dudley Moore, Bo Derek, Julie Andrews, Robert Webber, Brian Dennehy and Dee Wallace.
Although on a more surface level this is Edwards' comedic and even philosophic take on the Sexual Revolution and changing societal mores I will show how it is also compatible with the current discussion in this series of the shift from pre-Rock culture of the 30s-60s, represented by the main character George who is a jazz pianist and composer (!) and the post-Rock era (as well as disco), represented by Bo Derek, the woman to whom George is so deeply drawn.
In this sense 10 is as much about aesthetics styles and tastes as it is human relationships. It is also in so many ways quintessentially 1970s filmmaking, a nod back to my 1970s film series while being utterly timeless: one of the most classically and tightly written plays or scripts from Edwards, or really anybody, in the era. #boderek#blakeedwards #henrymancini #muzak #easylistening #sexualrevolution #julieandrews #annettehaven #dudleymoore #deewallace #briandennehy #bartending #cocktailounge #robertwebber #songwriting #hollywood #breakfastattiffanys #audreyhepburn #jacklemmon #waltermatthau #comedy #bedroomfarce #farce #samwasson #vacation #resort #1980s #playboy # #piano #jazz #1979 #1970s #johnritter #california #losangeles #marriage #wedding #hughhefner #polyamory #monogamy #theatre #playwright #sob #petersellars #theparty #leeremick #thedaysofwineandroses #thegreatrace #tonycurtis #thepinkpanther #auterism #warnerborthers #disco #1960s #1950s #dentistry #oralsurgery #slapstick
