Hemingway Movies and Wide White Pants.

As we at Buzz Cats are big fans of all things 1920's especially the writing and clothes of the time I was quite excited to see the general release last month of The Garden of Eden a film adaptation of the posthumous novel by Ernest Hemingway. The plot of the book revolves around the story of a jazz age American couple, David Bourne an American writer and his wife Catherine taking an extended European honeymoon and documents the next five months of their life, the story takes place mainly in the French Riviera mostly in the Cote D'Azur. During their honeymoon they meet a young woman named Marita whom they both fall in love with and ultimately only one of them can have and things go on accordingly from there.
The Garden of Eden was the second of Hemingway's works to be published posthumously (1986) and was greeted with some controversy due to what was dubbed by Susan Seitz as "Substandard" editing. This film adaptation was greeted as a "a boundaries-breaking erotic drama" on it's screening at the RomaCinemaFest, it is directed by John Irvin and the ensemble cast includes Jack Huston (grandson of filmmaker John, and great grandson of Oscar-winning actor Walter),Mena Suvari, Caterina Murino, Richard E. Grant, and Carmen Maura. Let's hope it does the book justice and if it doesn't at least some of the clothes look great,there's a trailer below, take particular note of the matching striped T-shirts and wide legged white trousers, always a good look.
