Actual shot (not AI!) of a French detective working the case of the French Crown Jewels that were stolen from the Louvre in a brazen daylight robbery. Somehow he looks like he’s smoking even without a cigarette in his hand, but surely everything you know about life is screaming

Can’t wait for @dieworkwear to weigh in on this ensemble and skewer me for hating on fedora hats

@MsMelChen The guy is like 20 years old what in le LARP is this

@ZbynekDrab Le LARP πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

@MsMelChen I guess you're too young to have ever seen "Breathless" by Jean Luc Goddard, which transformed global cinema. It starred Jean-Paul Belmondo as the shiftless semi-criminal. His most famous pose was in such as hat, a wife beater teeshirt and a hat just like that, a cigarette

@RickKielUSA I will try. I struggle with old films!

@MsMelChen He takes loooooong lunches and solves cases only when liberally supplied with Gauloises.

@AshleyRindsberg Every time he walks into a room, he tosses his hat with swagger at the hat rack and lands it every time

@MsMelChen They will bring the grizzled vet you speak of onto the case. They will be forced to work together, even though the fancy cop will want to play it by the rules and the grizzled vet wants to bend the rules. They will both learn a little about themselves in the process

@CholeraFan Ultimate buddy cop movie!

@MsMelChen Two things stand out to me…

@Meme_Behavior Epic side eye

@MsMelChen After reading this, I went to see what Derek Guy was up to and found this. Uh, not sure what I did. I’m a small account that never commented on his posts. Am I too conservative for his tastes? Did he find a photo of me in yoga pants?

@MsMelChen Ralph Fiennes is tired of this movie.

@Hotspvrre Contempt or barely concealed sexual desire? It’s hard to tell

@MsMelChen You should have more faith in Temu Alain Delon.
