She can shoot better than the boys. Her younger sister is mute and possibly deaf? Like, weird voodoo-inspired, things are coming to get me dreams.
No but seriously WTF is going on costume-wise? Hey Addie, I can confirm that Katell is an actual Breton name! No idea if it was in use in the 18th century though :. I first learned of La Revolution on this blog a few months ago. It seemed craptastic then and even more craptastic now.
I have to watch this. Looks like they just rented stock, and didnt bother to actually fit the stock pieces to the actors. Women frequently did wear trousers for riding and hunting, usually under petticoats and skirts.
I too predicted it would not be my thing, and I see I was right. But also what the frock on so many design choices? The Vikings peasant had me laughing though. How do they manage to make the clothes so clunky? Or so clunky clothes? Is this a new fashion trend of deliberately ugly fashion popular only among the cinematic costuming circles?
Gold lace was certainly a thing in the nineteenth century. It would be worn on the most expensive of court or reception dresses. I wonder if those half skirts are an attempt to copy the draping of a polonaise gown. The Viking chick made me laugh, those greasy looking braids really stand out and not in a good way. Imagine if they used all that money to make a compelling, somewhat accurate drama about the Revolution without zombies! I would go for that.
