Lui Magazine, Part III

Once again we time travel to the '60s and French pr0n. First some sidebrow, and a cover story about "what doesn't work in cinema." And a model who appears to be watering her melon:

: The movie mentioned on the cover just northwest of Mlle. Kaprisky's nipple, À Bout de Souffle, was known in the US as Breathless. A remake of the 1960 Godard film, it was ruined by having Richard Gere in it. After that disaster, she rightly fled back to France where she remains today.

The good news is that the Godard version had two great things (well three): music by pianist Martial Solal, and Jean Seberg's two eyebrows (plus, as a bonus, the rubber mask-like face of Belmondo). Here's the poster:
