LuxLoves: Public Enemies

Whenever Public Enemies was in theaters, I saw it, maybe six months ago. The film is frenetically violent, and our anti-hero comes to similar ends, of course. It distinguished itself though, with the chemistry between Johnny Depp and Marion Cotillard, playing star-crossed lovers John Dillinger and Billie Frechette. Maybe the last time they are together, or close to it, they are sitting in a snowy clearing, and she says something simple like, wherever you're going, I wanna go there with you, and the elemental heat could melt the screen. I also found her wardrobe to be extremely memorable, perhaps for some semblance of that factor. It's the look I've been shooting for lately. Sure, she's the classic Depression-era gangster's moll, and dresses the part, but she also has this untouchable center, the gravity of a woman who buoyantly exceeds her circumstances on strength of spirit alone.
