Stoned Woman Photo

Photographer’s Note

This was taken in Flavigny-sur-Ozerain in Burgundy. This very old medieval village was where the filming of 'Chocolat' took place. I still don't know who carved this statue or the history behind it, but it fascinated us regardless.

Quite unique and interesting, I like the overall colors and the framing.

I loved the village in "Chocolat"!! I thought it was beautiful. I can see why this statue fascinated you, it is great isn't it! I love all the texture around the "frame" and the light tones. Very nice!

Very charming, very evocative. And I too loved the film.

Je n'ai pas vu le film mais, Bourguignon d'origine, je connais Flavigny et ses fameux "grains d'anis".
L'apparition à la fenêtre est charmante, un peu mélancolique ; en tous cas très présente sur la photo qui fait parfaitement ressortir les traits du visage sur le fond sombre. J'aime aussi beaucoup le grain et les nuances du crépi et des pierres. C'est une très jolie image.
