Last night I watched the 3rd film in the cycle of Belle & Sebastian films (or better said, the remake of the original 1960's version in black&white that I watched during my childhood).
The 3rd sequence is, as so typical for sequences, a bit dragged out and predictable, but the stunning scenery of the French Alps Maritime (and a great number of berets!) easily make up for that.
César, Sebastian's foster grandfather, is a great role-model for "tartes Chasseurs Alpins", donning what I believe to be an Auloronesa in brown (as per the screenshots above and below).
The Belle & Sebastian adventure began in 2013 when six-year-old Sebastian and his dog Belle (a Great Pyrenean Shepherd) sought to foil a Nazi attempt to capture French resistance fighters. As the name suggests, such an incredible friendship between boy and beast continues in this third installment of the film series, Belle & Sebastian, Friends for Life.
Picking up where its predecessor left off, Sebastian (Félix Bossuet) is now aged 12, and has decided not to follow his father and Angelina to Canada, choosing instead to remain in the French Alps with César (Tchéky Karyo) to watch over Belle who’s now become mother to three beautiful pups.
When a stranger arrives claiming to be Belle’s rightful owner, Sebastian finds himself in a position where he must protect his best friend and her little ones.
One detail in the film I really enjoyed seeing, was the shot of the village school's corridor. Not just the typical hooks for coats against the wall, but double hooks, so that the beret can hang on top over the coat!
And to "celebrate" children's berets (one can't start young enough, especially in these times), this week on Special the Le Petit QuiOui berets; 11 colours and only $27.50 (as long as stock lasts).
Mind, these berets suit and fit any adult with a liking of small diameter berets too!
