Jan Ĺ vankmajerâs Castle of Otranto (1977) is an animated adaptation of Horace Walpoleâs 1764 novel of the same name. This novel is credited with the start of the genre of gothic fiction, and was heavily influential on the horror genre as a whole.
This robe Ă lâanglaise is a superb expression of the English taste in dressâskillful cut and construction, and free from elaborate trimmingsâa sensibility that increasingly influenced European modes of dress in the late eighteenth century. The refined simplicity and neat tailoring associated with English dress grew increasingly influential in France during the latter half of the eighteenth century. By the 1770s, French fashion magazines regularly featured the robe Ă lâanglaise, praising its elegance and modest charm. This example is impeccably made and discreetly adorned, its sole ornamentation being bands of pinked, self-fabric trim. The choice of textile, a delicately patterned silk damask dating to the 1730s, is evidence of the common eighteenth-century practice of repurposing finely woven fabrics.
In the 1976 adaptation of Carrie, Brian De Palma based Carrieâs posture and walk at the end of the film after Gustave Moreauâs 1851 painting The Study of Lady Macbeth.
