91 - SYLVIA KRISTEL AND JOE DALLESANDRO

SYLVIA KRISTEL AND JOE DALLESANDRO Scene from Walerian Borowczyk’s film *La Marge*, adapted from the novel by André Pieyre de Mandiargues, 1976. Photo captioned, stamped, and annotated on the back. 19.7 x 29.8 cm. Note: Sylvia Kristel plays Diana, a Parisian prostitute, opposite Joe Dallesandro as Sigismond Pons, a married man who has come to Paris on business. Their encounter becomes the centerpiece of an erotic drama marked by loneliness, desire, and an escape from reality. Following the international success of *Emmanuelle*, Kristel takes on a more melancholic character here, while Dallesandro—a figure from Andy Warhol’s Factory and Paul Morrissey’s films—brings his aloof presence to the film. Directed by Walerian Borowczyk, *La Marge* is an adaptation of the novel of the same name by André Pieyre de Mandiargues. Raymond Voinquel served as the film’s still photographer.
