Scarlett Johansson Dressed As Buster Keaton For W Photoshoot

Posted by tele at Thursday, June 9, 2011

For a piece on prolific director Woody Allen for W magazine, Scarlett Johansson decided to pose as a series of early film stars for photographer Tim Walker.

Are they trying to place Allen's work in the same archaic movie closet as the silent classics? It just seems out of place to take photos of Johansson, who has been in several Allen films but not his most recent one, dressed as stars from unrelated films. Okay fine, she wants to play dress up. ScarJo emulates such iconic movie stars as a zombie-looking Buster Keaton from Sherlock, Jr., an over darkened Marlene Dietrich, and Sarah Bernhardt in an anachronistic outfit. But I’ll give credit where credit is due: she looks adorable as Giulietta Masina from Fellini’s La Strada. But the other ones make almost no sense.

Marlene, much like Scarlett, is usually recognized by her blond locks. The scene I believe they are going after is this top one. Okay, so yes, her hair is darker, but not as dramatic and the point of the picture is the lighting. Nope, Walker and Johansson didn't get that right either.
