Interview October 2013
Even appreciating her performances in Sofia
Coppola’s Lost in Translation and Joss Wehdon’s The Avengers, I seldom collect
magazines featuring Scarlett Johansson at front cover, until Interview October
2013 issue. Shot by professional Patrick Demarchelier, Scarlett’s cat eyes are
gazing firmly, full lips are alluring sensually and her curly hair is falling downward,
elegantly. By adapting black-white and metal-brown hues, the close-ups sexually
exhibit Dolce & Gabbana bodysuits. Especially the third picture, which
shows the use of light-dark of palm tree shadows creating the spotlight-alike
effect on Scarlett, and her lazy sitting posture pops up the features of Prada
heels.
For what I love most about Interview magazine, not only because of those amazing cover designs (and astonishing fashion campaign shoots) after April 2008, but also the Q & A among the professionals and celebrities, such as Sofia Coppola by Richard Prince or Scarlett Johansson by Darren Aronofsky. Those direct without modifying conversation is what most readers (I believe so, because I am one of them) want to spend precious time to enjoy and digest. Between the casual chat lines on the actress and director, we know their exact SAT scores (one got 1080 and the other got 1360), the lives in New York (since Scarlett Johansson still keeps the rejection letter from NYU Film School), those perspectives in Taiwan (Darren quotes from his friend that the best Chinese food is Taiwan) and the curiosity toward hairy-crab in Shanghai.
Interview magazine is purely genius, from
the forbiddances of some reporters’ craps to the selections of photography.
Nevertheless, one small thing annoys me is that those unfinished interviews
always being placed at the last few pages, perhaps it saves some trees; truly,
all we picky viewers just want to devour both texts and pictures at once, discontinuously.
