Impressions of a French Gangster
February 2, 2010 – 9:00 am
Thats the look I’ve got nailed down from the French gangster films seen recently: Left: Mesrine: Killer Instinct & Public Enemy No. 1, Right: Un Prophet Of course its a pretty generic statement, but couldn’t help noticing they were carrying a similar look (although you should check out the Guardian’s image gallery of Jacques Mesrine for [...]

I would be joyously happy to have these Giant Plushies by Florentjin Hofman lying about my home!
