Spaghetti and/or zapata western aficianados would probably still find #VivaMaria interesting enough. But given how farcical it is at times it almost feels like a (pretty unamusing) parody. Reminded me of Leone's Duck, You Sucker/A Fistful of Dynamite. Or Salma Haeyk & Penelope Cruz's Bandidas. 📽️🎞️

The English language poster for the French zapata western 'Viva Maria!' (1965). Directed by Louis Malle. Starring Brigitte Bardot, Jeanne Moreau, Claudio Brook, Paulette Dubost, Carlos Lopez Moctezuma, Poldo Bendandi, Gregor von Rezzori, Francisco Reiguera, Jonathan Eden and George Hamilton.

On top of the poster the tagline "The world will never forget the two heroines who charged into battle undaunted, unafraid and... Undressed!". Below the tagline a small image of the film's two stars (Brigitte Bardot, a blonde haired woman, on the left and Jeanne Moreau, a brown haired woman, on the right) behind a Maxim machine gun. Bardot's holding the machine gun and Moreau's stuck fingers in her ears. In the middle of the poster on the right side an illustration of the film's two stars (Bardot on the left, Moreau on the right) standing side by side looking at each other wearing long black gloves, a light blue bodice, a red short skirt, garter belts and long black stockings. On the left side the tagline "Viva Bardot Viva Moreau" on top of the film's title with an added text "Viva Don't Miss It!" in brackets next to it.

Frame from the French zapata western 'Viva Maria!' (1965). Blonde woman (Brigitte Bardot as Maria II) wearing a white shirt and a long light blue skirt is standing on a hilltop next to a cannon she's fired. There's a couple of dead uniformed soldiers lying on the ground to her right. Green hills in the background.

Frame from the French zapata western 'Viva Maria!' (1965). The message "Viva Maria" painted in red on a wall in an early 20th Century Latin American town. A dead man wearing a blue suit lying on the ground with a brush on his right hand. There's a line of red paint going from the unfinished A towards the brush in the dead man's hand on the ground.

J'ai vraiment bien aimé #VivaMaria! (1965), qui vient d'être rediffusé sur @artefr.bsky.social chéri.
Pas seulement parce que #JeanneMoreau et #BrigitteBardot sont irrésistibles, mais aussi pour ses personnages attachants, son cadre atypique et son humour, parfois potache, qui fait mouche.

If Brigitte Bardot or Jeanne Moreau would tickle my fancy I probably wouldn't be quite as harsh with my judgement... But even though #VivaMaria is technically well-made albeit lighthearted zapata western it left me cold overall. Relies too much on just BB's and Moreau's female charms. 📽️🎞️

On the poster an image of the film's two stars (Brigitte Bardot on the left and Jeanne Moreau on the right) kneeling side by side behind a Maxim machine gun (smoking from its barrel). Both women are wearing red dresses with black decoration. Bardot's holding the machine gun, Moreau's sticking fingers to her ears. On the top of the poster the tagline "Viva Bardot Viva Moreau".

Frame from the French zapata western 'Viva Maria!' (1965). Two women performing on stage. Both are wearing long black gloves, a black hat with two red flowers, and black and red tufts, a red bodice with a black feathe boa and a white skirt. Smiling blonde woman (Brigitte Bardot as Maria II) on the left and a singing brown haired woman (Jeanne Moreau as Maria I) on the right.

Frame from the French zapata western 'Viva Maria!' (1965). Close-up of the bottom half of two women performing on stage. Both are wearing long black gloves, long black boots with long black stockings and a ruffled pink and white skirt. Both have raised one of their foot on a chair and have raised their skirts to expose their raised legs.
