We’re kind of having a Vendôme moment, eh?

I was *sure* I had seen Vendôme in a French film from the late fifties or early sixties, and somewhat recently I went through a bunch of them to see if I could jog my memory. Now I realize, after reading Doug Hayes’s fantastic case study of Rempart, that I was probably thinking of Louis Malle’s Ascenseur pour l’échafaud.
Do read this case study; it’s great. It also features a favorite image of mine: Fonderie Olive’s display at the Salon International des Techniques: a type specimen visitors can walk through.
@litherland You’re reminding me that I have a question about type and J-LG films.
@adamgreenfield First of all, you probably know about Jean-Luc, by @carvalho_bernau https://carvalho-bernau.com/jlg/
And then this lovely piece from Pampa Type, which I think I’ve linked to before https://blog.pampatype.com/jean-luc-godard-the-typographer-with-the-movie-camera
And then Christian Annyas used to have some Godard stuff https://www.patreon.com/c/MovieTitles/home
@litherland @carvalho_bernau I did *not*! That’s GLORIOUS. #lesenfantsdemarxetdecocacola
@adamgreenfield Ah, I may have a link for you, please hold :)
