The Graduate


'The Graduate' is one of my all-time favorite films, and this particular scene is SO aesthetically up my alley. I want to use this as the inspiration for an entire room some day. The black and white striped awnings, the vintage "bar" sign, the lush green back-drop that almost looks jungle-esque.


Director Mike Nichols sets up each shot as if it were a painting, creating a composition that exquisitely propels the story forward.


Little known fact: The famous legs in the movie poster belong to Linda Gray, aka. SUE ELLEN from "Dallas".
