  • Thanks for sharing this terrific video. It goes directly to favourites.

  • My pleasure. One thing I loved to emphasise was Garbo's infectious sense of humour!

    Her characters were always running into trouble... and in their tortured dilemmas, found answers through an off the cuff remark, a raised eyebrow, or the absurdity of their situation.

    Since Garbo frequently identified herself with a young man of pure emotions, I think that here, Brandon Flowers has worthy possession of her celluloid soul!

  • I don't even like the Killers and I love this. Much like the Lulu video, on paper it sounds like it'd be catastrophic, but in actuality it's really spectacular. You couldn't make a video like this if you didn't have a genuine love for the subject.

  • thank you very much, that means a lot.

  • There is another version of d'Acosta's quote, for sake of trivia, that Garbo was "troubled by a dream of snow" rather than "moved about by a snowy dream." That's rough translations for you!

  • I just can't stop watching this. It is so well done, especially the eyes moving at 2.35 and the whole section from 3:00 on. The timing of Greta as Anna K heading under the train, the striding of Queen Christina through her courtiers, the walk to execution of Mata Hari, and of course the final scene of Queen Christina at the prow! Goosebumps. AdArmand, you really did a wonderful job. Bravo!
