Painter of the Wind

[rosdrise]

Since I've run out of Triple to watch and had to find something else to entertain myself. I watched the first episode of Desperate Romantics, a new BBC series about the pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. I don't know if I'll watch anymore, because as attractive as Aiden Turner is (MITCHELL)- watching men be complete pigs is one of my least favorite past times. It was funny though... we'll see.

I also watched the 3rd and 4th episode of Painter of the Wind (Hey! Artists again!). This is infinitely more lovely. I also kind of loved the bath/swing scene for how subversive/suggestive it was.



I can't really blame Desperate Romantics for being brazen where PotW is more delicate considering the actual history of the Brotherhood, but I far prefer the beauty of PotW.

Yon Bok's muse is gorgeous, and has really awesome hair. sailorgaia - what are those called again?



They are doing a really great job of tying her work in with the world around her. It's really interesting seeing everything fall into place....





I just love all the costumes and the colors. Sagueks are fantastic when it comes to that. PotW is just so lush, I was doomed before I even started watching.

Rosetti was a SOCIOPATH. I am holding to this view of him forever. I so want to try and watch this too cause I love bbc period dramas and AIDEN TURNER HELLO GORGEOUS but my god were the pre raphaelite boys assholes, artistic assholes but still assholes. and even the ones who arent total jerks are still kind of...offputting :( but who knows I might be able to actually enjoy it or stomach it. I am just waiting until the images of rosetti digging up his lovers corpse (and trading around their woman more often than square dancers at a country gathering) fade from my mind.

btw have you seen north and south? everyone keeps telling me it was A+ so I feel like should I watch it? I want opinions lol.
